Very difficult news, so unexpected. The road is hard and I cant imagine what you are going thru. My daughter is 14 and may not have me one day. I push on with hope being as well as I can.

Accept the support of caring counsellor if it helps you thru this journey. I love the mentoring I get thru it.
OTIS have holiday retreat avail for families to take time out(no charge and beautiful). Have a look at their website.
Living in the present is the healthiest thing to do. Try not to work out how to cope with things in future as that is a burden too heavy for anyone to bear
Seek support where ever avail, let friends and family know how they can assist in anyway.
