My mother was diagnosed with ALS two days ago and I have been struggling to think about anything but her diagnosis.
We found it to be sporadic so that is about the only good news from this situation. She has been dealing with symptoms (loss of clear speech, hands and legs cramping) for about 2 years now. Since diagnosed, the doctors say she is has a slow progression.
I am 15 almost 16 and I feel very lost at the moment. These two years have felt like i’ve already lost a big portion of the mother I used to have. I’ve probably cried a total of 10 hours after getting the news and I keep getting waves of grief even though shes still in the early stages. It hurts so much knowing its only downhill from here and I dont know how I am going to stay positive. I just need any advice or support right now.
