Saying Goodbye To Mum

Talking about my mum and the struggles of our family has been simultaneously really difficult and yet, oddly comforting. Her disease isn’t something that I usually talk about because I don’t want people to feel sorry for my family or think differently about my mum, so being able to talk about it, even with a …
