Not sure this is the right place for this so please move if needs be...
Please tell me it's possible to mourn for someone who hasn't yet passed. Seems almost crazy to grieve for somebody before they have died. My aunt has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and has just 6 weeks left to live, and to be honest I doubt that she will even make it as long as that. Understandably we are all shocked and devastated, but it almost feels like I've started the grieving process too early. I feel guilty as though I'm giving up on her having any chance of fighting it. If I can't cope with this now, I hate to think about after. Tell me it gets better.
