Just don’t know how to deal with this horrible feeling

My Dsil is dying the horrible cancer has finally taken over and it’s just a matter of time. She’s been so brave throughout, never complaining or letting anyone know how much pain she was in, which is why it’s so hard to accept she’s so ill. Two weeks ago we were out and about shopping, eating out and now she’s in bed, needs help and can barely eat, it’s so hard to process. There are good days where she talks, I feel she’s going to be fine and bad days when I’m worried she’s not even going to last a few hours. I’m just feeling such a rollercoaster of emotions, wobbly and fear of what is going to happen next. She is young which makes it even more difficult. I just can’t accept she won’t be here anymore. My brother has been a rock to her but I can see he is breaking inside. I just don’t know how to make the situation better for them. Her family are here too and we are all around her, which she says makes her really happy. We all get along, which helps. Sorry if I’ve upset anyone just feeling really emotional today.

I'm so so sorry. Not really got any words, but I am glad your family are together at this time xx

Day by day she got weaker and now she is no longer with us. Missing her so much.

I’m so sorry for you loss. It’s really really hard watching someone you love die and it takes a toll on everyone. Be kind to yourself, be around your loved ones and make sure you get help if you need it ❤️
