Hi all,
We are currently in a life changing position where my partners mum only has a few days to live. Found out at the end of March that her cancer has returned and ever since he has pushed me away, not wanting any kind of affection or intimacy, although I have tried to support with his daughter and just do jobs around the house and making sure we have food in and cleaning etc. I miss him immensely and I know once she has passed, this will be difficult.
I know that right now, I am not the one going through one of the most traumatic things anyone can go through and by no means am I selfish I have given him space when he needs it and encouraged him to do more things for himself such as going on walks And made sure he has eaten. His mum is his best friend and he speaks to her every day.
I don't feel like I am prepared for when she passes, and what to say, what can you say that will provide any kind of comfort I feel like whatever I say is wrong or not enough, he doesn't seem to want any kind of cuddles are hugs at the minute but I want to treat some kind of closeness (even though we have lost a lot at the minute).
Thank you, if you have read this post.
