I'm so very saddened to hear your mum is in constant pain Adele. The people who are able to help in this situation are her Palliative Care team, GP, others involved in her care, and of course your parents themselves. They are in the controlling position - they need to let the treating team know of any problems they have and ask for further help. This may involve some hospitalisation or respite care, but will not be possible until they seek this themselves.
Meanwhile you must focus on taking care of yourself (as we have discussed previously). If YOU are not coping, this will likely add to your parent's stress. Please continue to seek the help you need to best cope with this situation, which will in turn be better for all involved. You may not be able to help your parents much more than you have already, as the rest is up to them. I am sure they value all the wonderful support you provide, and they worry about you too!
We can feel your anguish and pain so much Adele, and continue to hope you find some relief soon.
Love Glenys xx
