My mother was diagnosed with an inoperable GBM (brain tumor) the Saturday before Thanksgiving. The tumor is too deep to remove so we are going forward with radiation and chemo. This has all happened in a little over a week's time. The first 5 days my sister and I stayed with my mother in the hospital. We are now home with my mother at my sister's house. I will be here for the next few months. I sleep in the same room with my mom to make sure she takes her medicine when she needs to and to be there for her in case she needs anything at night. I am not complaining, I want to make that clear, because I will do anything for her. My problem is I am completely exhausted. I am tense all the time, my temper is short, and I just feel like I am going to lose it all of the time. I want to be in the best shape I can be so I can be there for her. I am just having an extremely hard time coping with all of this information and I have no idea how to deal with all of this. If anyone has any advice on how I can be there for my mom without losing my mind I would greatly appreciate it. I am a 33 year old female. I am single, but have a wonderful boyfriend who has been there for me and my family. He and I live an hour and a half away from my sister, so I won't see that much of him in the time to come.
I have gotten 3 answers to this question and I just want to thank those that I have gotten so far. I have learned that our family really does have people who care about us and it means the world to me.
