And not sure if I am doing the right thing? My mum was diagnosed with brain cancer 4 months ago after collapsing and having a seizure. She has 8 brain tumours, and is now on chemo but super best case scenario we are looking at a year tops.
She lives in Penzance, and has no family other than dad down there (he is pretty much blind.) I live in Windsor and my sis in nottingham, meaning its a minimum 5 hour journey. I go as often as I can, usually once every 2/3 weeks but it isn't enough. Last time I was down she was so depressed and just wanted to die. The chemo was making her so ill, and she felt so lonely and isolated that she couldn't see any point in living. It broke my heart even more to see her like this, she is literally my best friend in the world as well as my mum.
Anyway during that visit I convinced them to move to windsor so that I can look after them. Also everything would be on their doorstep, shops, theatre, restaurants etc (currently they have to get a taxi to even get a carton of milk.) Plus my sis will be 2 hours not 6 hours away.
They found someone to rent their house within 3 days of it being on the market, and I am now frantically trying to find somewhere here that has no steps. (they are more than welcome to live with me I am in a second floor flat and dad can't manage it) My sis says that the whole thing is a disaster waiting to happen- that such a move is too much for them.
But I couldnt leave them down there on their own. All mum wants to do is be with her daughters and that's impossible where she currently lives. Have I done the right thing? I'm only 26- feel too young to lose my mum.
