Hello,
I posted here before when I just lost my baby boy Oskar on the 10th of September. It's been incredibly hard, but things have become even more difficult.
My mum was diagnosed with cancer a little over two years ago, although the doctors were initially not very optimistic about her chances, she had radiotherapy which worked well for her. After she complained of pain they found out that the cancer had spread locally and she started chemo during the summer. This made her very ill (she spent a lot of time in the hospital while I was in the final stages of my pregnancy) and we found out a few weeks ago that the treatment isn't working. She's getting a second opinion but we've already been told that this was the only treatment option left, so I'm not hopeful.
I was just wondering if there are others here who've experienced losing several people around the same time, even if it's not exactly the same as my case. I struggle with the realisation that things are only going to get worse from now on. I really want to support my mum, who has been incredibly supportive and positive, but I find it very hard to find the strength sometimes.
Thanks!
