About a month ago my great aunty was diagnosed with three tumors - one in her liver, one in her lung and one in her bladder. A lot of discussions etc since then, but to cut a long story short she has now been told she may have a week.
Absolutely heartbroken! My nanna (great auntys sister) passed away when my mam was young, so my mam always looked up to her as a mother figure - and me and my brother a grandma figure.
Since she got diagnosed have been up visiting a lot and spending time with her. Have seen her health deteriorate and have in my own way said goodbye. Mams sister went up and saw great aunty yesterday - her eyes were partially open and she was aware that she was there but she is on so many meds she is unable to communicate. Great uncle is wanting us to go up to say goodbye and I am torn in two. I don't want to remember her in that way, I want to remember the good, happy times we had. But then I worry will I regret it.
Not sure that I'm looking for advice here, I just feel i needed to let out my feelings.
