Hi everyone,
First of all I can't say how much it means to me that you all are keeping my family in your thoughts and prayers, it really touched me how fast everyone replied.
I think I am still feeling a little stunned, I know that we will know tomorrow so I am just letting my mind stay sort of safe and blank for the night.
I know that no matter what happens, this will be a really hard time for my whole family.
I don't know if anyone still remembers, but it has not yet been a year since my Uncle (my mom's brother, she has another sister) died of cancer. It went unpredicted for so long that once they found it, all the attempts to get it under control were pretty futile.
My mom hasn't really been the same since, she has always been quite volatile and it got a lot worse this past year. I know my aunt must just be in a real state right now too. She lives quite far, but I can imagine she will come down here to be with my mom.
My grandparents don't know yet, my grandpa has developed dimensia and he took my Uncle's death really, really hard. My grandma as well, but she is fairly stoic. I don't know how much of this they will be able to handle though, so I know I need to be really strong and be supportive and I just already felt so.. exhausted? with everything that has happened, so I think I have a lot of work ahead of me.
All your support is so warm and comforting, I will definitely update tomorrow after the appointment before I start my colonoscopy prep.
Thank you so much.
**hugs**
