Mum is dying..

Right now in hospital, fucking cancer. My poor bro has been here all night, she didn't want to be in hospital... there was talk of moving her to a hospice today, but she's not really aware of anything anymore... Am worried she won't survive the journey.
Just feel so helpless and crap. This last week has been horrific. She was diagnosed last May, but I always thought we had loads of time.. guess I'm just a bit stunned how quickly it's all ended up like this.
Since we lost my DDad 4 years ago, our relationship has always been ... strained. I do love her, haven't always liked her, but she's still my Mum.
Sorry, I've no one to talk too in RL, like I said my bro is here, but he's also dealing with this shit and we're not close really.
Sorry.

@Old , I am so sorry you are going through this. Nothing more but be kind to yourself and keep posting.

I lost my Dad 3 weeks ago and it's still a blur some days.

Big hugs x

@OldSpeclkledHen I’m so sorry to hear your news, is she/you having any support from the Mcmillian nurses?

Please come on here and speak to us, I am in a similar situation to you right now and completely understand

I'm sorry, please do vent here. It's the sort of time when sometimes having a friendly ear - they don't necessarily have to be your best buddy - can act as a safety valve.
I lost my Mum last year and ... yeah.
