Hello. To be honest just wondering how people deal with seeing someone who means the world to you deteriorate in front of you and dealing with members of the family.

Hi Kayp,
I’m very sorry to hear about your mother’s illness. Seeing a
loved one deteriorate due to a terminal condition can affect each of us
differently. How we
cope during this stressful time will be individual to each person. It’s obviously
common to find it an emotional time and talking about how you feel with someone
else may help you deal with the impact her illness is having on you. This can
be another family member, a friend, a counsellor or ourselves here at the Marie
Curie community and the Support Line – 0800 090 2309.
Some people can find it easier to cope if they understand
more about the changes that may occur during
this time - www.mariecurie.org.uk/help/being-there/end-of-life-preparation/changes.
If you have any questions you would like our Support Line Officers or Information and Support Nurses to answer please post them here and we will respond to them as soon as possible.
New to the community? Say hello and ask any questions you've got about how to use the community.
There are a range of ways we can help you, from clear, useful information about living with a terminal illness to expert nursing care in your home.
