Hello everyone,  My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer stage 4 with brain metastasis last summer in August. This news came as a shock to everyone in our family as my mother was usually in very good health. Since then, she has been receiving chemo treatment, taking different kinds of supplements, and fighting with everything she has. Though, a few days ago, we learned that cancer spread to her hipbones and the skull. Until we got this news, we were a bit hopeful but now I feel devastated and depressed. I can't bring myself to do anything even though I know that I need to be strong for my mother and my younger sister who is just 15 years old. They are the only family I have... I am not sure how to cope with my emotions. I tried talking with my friends and doing sports etc, but I just feel so blocked and overwhelmed. Overwhelmed because I started studying again this year, as it had been already planned before I learned about my mother's condition and I still work part-time to provide for myself and support my mother. But now, I feel like I am reaching a point of burnout. Please share with me any advice you may have to handle this difficult time.  ... View more
