Hi - I am new to this site and was hoping for a bit of support and advice (although I am not sure there really is any). My mum has terminal cancer which she has been battling amazingly for 3.5 years. She is finally losing her battle though and she doesn't have very long left to live now. I live in Edinburgh and have come back to Oz for a couple of weeks to spend some time with her. Unfortunately, there is no way I can stay any longer this time and have to go back home on Monday. It will probably be the last time I see my mum alive. I really don't know how to say goodbye. It is made even more difficult because she hasn't accepted or won't admit to others that she is dying and keeps talking about when she gets better. I want to thank her for being a wondeful mother and say my goodbye, but I am afraid that it will just upset her and she doesn't want to hear it. She is becoming particularly anxious of late and gets quite wound up. Has anyone been in a similar situation or have any thoughts? Thanks, Katy
