I've put it here because wasn't sure where to put it and in need of a hand hold.
My darling aunt is nearing the end. She's 20 years older than my mum and has been like a mother to her and a grandmother to me.
We've known she was very ill for a while and that she went into hospice care recently.
Mum called today to say she wanted to see us and it's clearly a goodbye visit.
I'm trying to organise childcare etc so that I can go with mum tomorrow. It's several hours from where I live.
I feel so guilty as well because it's DH's birthday on Saturday. Last year I was having an operation the day before. This year I'm dealing with this. Birthdays are hugely important to me and I've been organising all week to give him a good one and now I'll be away just before. He is a wonderful man and is 100% supportive of what I need to do.
Just need a hand hold really. This is going to devastate my mum.
