    I stuck my head round the door in the room mum was in, and she looked really ill. I couldn't understand what was happening - one minute my mum was fine and the next she was ill.  more...

    I have been staying with my dad because my mom doesn't want me around when she is sick, which is all the time. My dad works at night so I spend a lot of time alone since I'm not with my mom. I'm afraid she is going to die and I'll blame myself for not being there more. more...

Jazzy G - 11 years old

I don't know how I feel is normal, and how to get through it.

When I got back from school I found that my mum had Breast Cancer, I felt as if the world fell apart. A few days later she said that she was going to have a big operation, to kill the hormones making it. She was going to be in hospital for almost a week, and probably not here for the weekend.

I feel lonely and tearful all the time. As I try to do my work the next day, I just couldn't. And would going to see her in hospital make me happier or anxious? I don't know how I feel is normal, and how to get through it. I don't even know if she will be okay.

Thank you for reading my story x
