My Step-Mother seriously ill

[Unreasonabubble]

I can't be bothered to NC for this one. I think I am in so much pain and anguish that my brain won't work properly.

My Step-Mother is in hospital. Induced coma. I hope to be able to see her Sunday (Covid allowing). Her DS has seen her, her DP will see her tomorrow and then I hope to see her on Sunday.

I cannot begin to explain the pain I am feeling. I do not want her to die. She has brought me up since I was 5 years old (I am now ancient). She has been my best friend, my confidant, she paid for my divorce! She and I were planning on me downsizing and going to live where she lives - her suggestion! How can life take this amazing woman away

Thinking of you 💕 How wonderful to have this lady in your life. Have you any RL support? X

I live on my own so not a lot of support. Tonight I am mainly drinking Bacardi & Coke. The tears would be so easy to come.

I'm so sorry to hear this and I really hope she is ok and she pulls through. It sounds like she's been a wonderful step mum to you. Sending love and hugs.

I'm sorry you're having to go through this, OP. How lucky you both are to have had each other.

I hope you are able to see her on Sunday

No advice but coming on here to say i love that she has this presence in your life. Any person who takes on a child full time in place of a parent is a mum/dad in my eyes. Huge respect to her..
Sending you big hugs xx

((big hug)).

Is it possible she'll make a recovery or is she on end of life care?

You're very lucky to have had each other since you were 5.

Hearing is the last thing to go, so be sure to tell her all the things you want her to know!

I'm so very glad you're allowed to see her x

I can't imagine how you are feeling. I have three great women who complete my life. My mum. My step mum. And my ex mil. All incredible people. All getting older. It breaks my heart knowing the time I have with them is limited and precious. You and your step mum are in my thoughts

My step Mum didn’t come into my life until I was 17, but I love her the way you love yours.

Oh gosh this is so sad to read and yet so beautiful how you feel about your stepmother. I lost a parent last year. I also could not make sense of how this person could be leaving the world.

I'm so sorry OP.
