I need all your healing vibes and heartfelt prayers at the moment! I mentioned last year that my eldest daughter, Dee, had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She had her pancreas removed and has been on chemo every since.

At times, during last year ,she wasn’t to bad and could get out etc. She lives in Barrow in Furness and I last saw her in Morecambe for a day out last August. I treasure that day! Since then it has only been phone contact. She was taken into hospital last week, very poorly. Her husband is being allowed to stay with her. She was even too ill to wish me Happy Mothers day. She asked her husband to do it. Lockdown has made it worse because we haven’t been able to go and see her. They aren’t letting anyone in the hospital and I haven’t really been well enough to travel. I am willing to try it though when and if we are allowed to. My other daughters are willing to drive me there. Sorry but I feel so down today!

So so sorry to hear this Aingeful, such a sad and awful situation to be in. I really feel for you, it is just heartbreaking. Sadly I found myself in a similar situation last May when my mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

With my mum in Stockholm, Sweden and me here in lockdown UK I tried desperately to find a safe way to travel over to see her. I turned to all of you in this group for help and advise and remember you telling about your beautiful daughter then.

Sadly it wasn't to be... my mum only survived another couple of weeks and I didn't make it over in time.

I talked to my mum on the phone every day until the last few days when it all became too hard for her, feeling constantly nauseous and so very tired that she was drifting in and out of consciousness. Those phone calls helped us along.

My mum only wanted me to be safe and not take any risks for her sake, she kept assuring me that it was safer and better for us all if I didn't travel. That I had to think of my own health and my own family......such a mum thing to say of course.

I cannot even imagine what it is like for you in the reverse situation, being the loving mum to a very sick daughter.

I so hope you can get there to meet your daughter once more but even if you can't, you can be sure she can feel all your love and care you have given her.

Sending all my love and support xxxxx

Sometimes one cannot help but wonder how some people seem to get everything life throws at them. I wish i could find the right words to comfort you Aingeful. But although a mother myself I cannot begin to try understand how you will be feeling. Stay strong by looking after yourself which will help you to cope during this agonising time.Sending you a gentle hug and my dearest wish that things will work out for you all.

I'm so sorry to read what your daughter is going through and the effect it must be having on you too. It's so much worse that you can't get to see her so I pray that you'll be able to do that soon.

Don't apologise for feeling down. Our children are our children, whatever age they are, and that need to love and protect them never goes away. When we can't do it, it feels all wrong, doesn't it? For now you have to rely on others to let you know how she is and that's a hard thing to have to accept. Can her husband hold the phone close to her so that she can hear you speaking to her? Maybe just a few words of love from Mum will help.

Sending virtual hugs to you and your daughter. xx Moy❤️

I do hope you will be able to travel to see your lovely daughter and that it brings you both some comfort. I know we members don't know each other in a tangible way, but we mostly have a common bond of being parents and can understand the need to be able to be with our children in their hour of need. This is indeed such a cruel time with this lockdown and I can only wish you joy on being with her again xx

I am back from Barrow in Furness after being allowed to see Dee for five minutes or more. I went with my other daughters,my son in law drove us. I was able to hold her hand and tell her all the things in my heart. She knew I was there but could not speak.This awful disease has taken its toll on my beautiful daughter,it was so hard to bear .We all need to spend time with our loved ones and tell them how much they are loved. One day it may be too late.
