A very good friend died last night. She was DS's best friend's mother. Brain tumour. Diagnosed less than a month ago. She'd been treated for other cancers in the past, but had been relatively healthy for the last 3 or 4 years.
I've been helping her family with a few practical things recently, so I knew it was coming. It was still a shock I still can't stop crying and raging though. I know her children, especially her son. How on earth do you get over the death of your mother at 8, or 11?
What can I do ??? I feel that I should do something, but I am not sure what is left to be done. Her DH knows that I'll go shopping for him or whatever. I just don't want to intrude.
She was due to go into a hospice today. The links to bereavement support are already there.
Fuck You Cancer. Now look what you've done.
