Hi gloriosa an welcome to the forum.

I read your post with interest. It was wonderful to read about your son battling through and now a confident young man with a great future ahead of him.

I am so sorry to read about your mum, lots of us on the forum (myself included) have lot our mums, so we know exactly how you are feeling. Regarding helping in the fund raising push, only you know whether you are ready for it. If you are, go for it 100%. If you don't feel ready, don't beat yourself up, you are still mourning your mother. Perhaps you could still contribute but not in such a high profile position. I can understand you want to give something back, just be sure it is not too great a cost.

Keep checking the forum, you will have lots of advice from a lot of really wise women. Whatever you decide, make sure it is the decision for your sake only.
