Im 50 and my mum is 70. She might have a long term lung condition and is having tests. Im concerned about her and at the back of my mind worry that it might be something more sinister. it also makes me feel vulnerable about losing her.......... this is an inevitable part of our age but it still hurts........ Anyone relate?
I was raised by my Great Grandmother who passed away 6 years ago. She had congestive heart failure. I worried everyday was going to be the day. She would take naps on the couch and when i would check her she looked…well you know. But she lived 10 years after diagnosis. You cant worry all the time. You have to trust in that person and faith. By the way she was 90 when she passed. Stay positive and try not to worry.
Hi Alison…she is your mum and no matter what age or stage you are, the thought of your life without her is not a nice one.
and if you are going through menopause and emotional of course it may seen harder. but id be lost without my mum and id be like you if i thought my mother may have a tough road ahead of her. but hang tight. she is still here with you. hang tight and be beside her. I will say a prayer for you for comfort and strength. CK
