I currently live in Essex. My family live in Scotland. My big sister is 35 has stage 4 cancer and is wowing us all by winning the battle for longer than predicted by drs.
Because of the cancer she has we also know she won't win as there isn't a single case where anyone has survived this one when they get stage 4. This was caught late.
I honestly don't know how I'm going to cope right now not being able to see her. She's been battling this for 2 years. She's getting tired now and her memory is getting worse. I can tell things are changing every time we talk on the phone.
My partner doesn't seem to understand he thinks that him and our 2 year old should be enough to keep me happy. Don't get me wrong of course they make me happy!
I'm sure I'm not the only one in this situation where coronavirus is keeping us from being able to spend the time we can with loved ones. So how do you cope and not fall apart? Because all I seem to do right now is cry and feel like I'm being incredibly selfish.
