hi phil
im 11 and my name is Emi. i lost my mum in april 2005. mothers day this year didnt go to well.try and use nats really good advice for your mums birthday!my mum also had lung cancer, and about a year later it spread to her brain and she got brain tumor. just think inside your head:"i am not the only one in pain from the thought of my mum dying, there was no way to stop this disaster, there is always someone there for me, and i can talk to them about anything."
it is a kind of thought that makes you feel lost and you want to close in on the world so you can join your mum, but just stop and think. i know my advice isnt as good as nats but hey, you can always have a cake to cheer yourself up! try it.
love Emi xxx
