my mom’s boyfriend has been diagnosed with brain tumors, and lung cancer. my mom does not seem to think he is going to get out of the hospital alive.
she hopes to take him back to her place and look after him so he can be comfortable and die with dignity. this is all in south africa, in a state run hospital. he has no insurance, no savings, no money.
my mom will take care of him, i have no doubt, she is that kind of person. what worries me is who is taking care of my mom? she just went through agony when my dad was diagnosed with cancer(they are divorced but, still good friends). how is she going to cope with this emotionally and who is making sure she is ok?
i feel so far away…
