@fiveminfiction Thank you so much for the feature! 😇

[Jon @MrDalekJD]

I don’t tend to share too much of my personal life but I’ve been going through the most traumatic 4 months and I’m struggling. I lost my Aunt to Liver Cancer in July, shortly after my Mum was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer and whilst dealing with that I lost my Nan to Parkinson’s/Dementia in September. Despite my Mum having surgery in August to remove the tumor, it has spread and last week I was told my Mum only has months left to live.

Since her surgery I’ve become her carer; visiting her daily, buying and prepping food, washing and cleaning etc. In mid-October she went back into hospital where she has spent the last 6 weeks. She was FINALLY discharged at the weekend & has carers coming multiple times a day to ensure she is ok before what comes next... Before all this she was the most healthy & independent person I know, capable of anything and everything. I’ve been dealing with this all quietly throughout the last few months and I wouldn’t wish this heartache on anyone. Life just doesn’t feel real at the moment.

I was in LA for the BO7 Pre-Reveal when my Mum was in for her initial surgery. I had to put on a happy face & “suit up” for the BO7 Zombies Reveal Reaction when merely hours earlier I was with my Nan when she passed away. I was being meme’d across the internet in October from COD NEXT whilst I was a worried wreck not knowing if my Mum was ok back at home. I’ve had to juggle hospital visits whilst covering the BO7 Zombies launch which hasn’t been easy.

It’s been so hard to keep acting like everything’s fine when truth be told it’s been SO far from it. But the overwhelming support & energy on my content has kept me going and it means the world to see it. It’s genuinely kept my mind stable and busy in a period of time where I really need that. But I’ve also tried to not be too hard on myself at the same time.

I have a very small family, and my Nan was the beating heart of it. Going through the loss of her is difficult enough, but I never imagined I would be losing my Mum so soon too. She is my world. I have no siblings and my Mum raised me as a single parent. I still can’t comprehend any of this is happening but I felt like I had to get this out there because I’ve been dealing with so much and I don’t know what the next couple of months are going to look like both personally and content wise.

Thank you all again for your love and support over the last couple of months 💙
