I am having an emotional roller coaster whenever my mom describes symptoms that seem to indicate things are getting worse. On days when she seems okay, I feel okay. On days that she suffers, I suffer. How do I be strong and be able to provide support instead of feeling depressed whenever things don't look so good?
A little bit about myself: I'm pregnant with my first baby, first grandchild for my mom. I live about one hour away from my parents. Parents need a lot of assistance with navigating health care system due to language barriers. My mom's diagnosis of metastasized ovarian cancer came as shock because she seemed healthy with no serious symptoms.
