Hi @Celeste915, Bad things happen. Don't take so much weight on your shoulders. You are not alone in this situation. You are part of a family, & as a family, you can make it through the tough times ahead - if you care for each other. One person doesn't have to be strong for the entire family. You are entitled to cry & feel worried & anxious just as much as your mother & sisters. Let your feelings be seen as well. You might be surprised at how much strength you can draw from each other. If you find it getting too much for you, talk to someone - a counsellor, preist, etc, but don't wait till it gets very bad, & even get the whole family involved. It's excellent therapy. You can even call someone from the Cancer Council on 131120 to get support & information. Take care Budgie ... View more
