I haven't managed to post on the blog for about 11 days now. My Mum was taken poorly and has been in hospital so my life these last couple of weeks has been work, hospital, sleep, work, hospital, sleep... You get the picture!
It is very hard to see someone you love so much in so much pain and distress and not to be able to do anything to help them. It's exhausting to try and carry on as normal in the 9-5 hours and put on a brave face.
I don't feel brave and I don't feel helpful. I feel tired and on the brink of falling down 24/7. But my Mum is being brave and fighting and so I have to fight too; because if she can do it then I have no excuse.
The Visitor has now been re-born as The Entity and I have written the ending, I just have to carry on with the middle now and finish getting it proof-read ready for release at Christmas. Writing is a good escape for me and I know my Mum is my biggest fan and so if I can't do anything helpful I will do something which makes her proud.
Much love to all of the brave Mothers battling cancer out there, and love to your husbands, partners and children. I keep all of you in my thoughts.
