terminally ill family member

    Hi all

    Just posting here for a bit of advice/support/don't really know what exactly

    I have a terminally ill family member. She is quite old, has lived her life i suppose you could say. Her children wouldn't have been particularly close to her really. we were always more close with the other side of the famly than the side she is on.
    I just feel so sad that it has taken her being terminally ill for her children to get close to her, one of which is a step parent of mine. I feel so bad that it's taken this for them to get kind of close again and now she is going to just slip away when they've got their relationship back on track, well kind of.....
    I just feel so sad that it's going to happen and sad that she didn't say anything to anyone before it was two late and now she's terminal.
    Just wondering how to deal with the sadness and how to help my family members when this lady does eventually pass away?
    It is always tense when she is in hospital, i think everyone woners whether she will make it out every time she goes in. She was in hospital yesterday, and her gp wasn't happy with the way the situation was handled so she went back to hospital at some point yesterday, and last i knew she was still waiting for a scan.
    I have tried to contact people with no results in the last little while as i just got to thinking about her, not really sure why, but no response from anyone, hoping this doesn't mean something bad has happened.
