My mom might have parkinsons,i'm so depressed,how do i function and be strong?

My mom went the doctors today and he said there is a chance she may have Parkinson's because she has most of the symptoms of it. I looked it up and i think she has it. I have already lost my dad(his death was preventable),and if my mom goes i dont want to be here anymore either,i've been so down all day and i find it hard to function. Can this disease kill you?

first of all, think positive and don't jump to conclusions! support your mom through this tough time! second of all, my grandma was diagnosed with parkinsons about 10 years ago. she is doing great! she has learned to make changes and adapt to her new ways of life as road blocks get in the way. the medical field is learning day by day and the treatments are getting better and better! if she does get diagnosed, you can't change that...you just have to be strong and learn how you can support your mom and be strong with the disease! i hope the best for you both!
