Last year, while I was working abroad, my mum was diagnosed with Parkinson's. I came home this March to study and to be closer to her. My mum and dad divorced when I was 18 and she lives with a boyfriend of 5 years. Recently she's been doing things that are not quite right and I believe it's early onset Alzheimer's. My mum is my best friend. Every time she does something a bit off I want to burst into tears, I also get quite angry. It feels so unfair, she's such a wonderful person, a fantastic mum and she's only 62. I feel like a child still, I can't imagine my life without her, I don't know how I would cope.
I know this very selfish but I just keep thinking that when she is gone there will be nobody to love me anymore. That I will be truly alone in the world. I'm single, unemployed and studying, she's supported me through every step of my life.
I don't know how to come to terms with any of this, or how I can stop myself from feeling this sadness and rage, does anyone have any advice?
