I'm so sorry. I will be thinking of you and your mother today.

So very sorry. I know the pain of your losing your mom.

I am so sorry.

I am so sorry.
Your post brought tears to my eyes. I know how you are feeling. My thoughts are with you and your family.

This just made me cry. I am so terribly sorry you are going through this. I know far too well how terribly hard it is to loose your mother. I lost mine 7 years ago (I´m now 31, about the same age as you are).

I remember feeling like I was on a mission too. I have done my best to keep my family together and take good care of my dad and my younger siblings.

Time does ease the pain and one day you will be able to think about your mom and enjoy the memories you made without feeling the hurt each and every time.

I wish you all the best.

I am so sorry. I went through a similar thing with my mom four years ago when she dies of lung cancer. It is hard.

You are a wonderful person for giving her the comfort she needs in her last few days.

I am Sorry

Saying goodbye is the hardest thing you'll ever have to do. I am so sorry that is her time to go. You have just done a very selfless thing for your mom, I wish you all peace and comfort in this difficult time.

I'm so sorry for what your family is enduring. I lost my father almost a month ago. While he hadn't been sick and his death was very unexpected, I had known for a long time that he was really just waiting to die. He had given up, was tired, and ready to leave us. My brother has had a very difficult time with his death, but I have been able to find peace in knowing that this was what daddy wanted. He was ready to go. Keeping him here would have been very selfish of us (he was being kept alive by machines), so we made the decision to let him go. Try to find peace in knowing that your mom gave the fight all she had and is now ready for a life of no more pain and suffering.

There are really just no words for me to say. I am so sorry you are hurting and my heart is breaking for you. I wish you peace and strength to get through such a tough time.

I'm not sure why I am posting this...I guess I just need to get it out, I am hurting so much.

My Mom has been fighting breast cancer & angiosarcoma for over 12 years now. She was diagnosed when I was 19 years old. Shes fought so hard for her life....I've never seen such a strong person.
She was readmitted to an inpt hospice facility yesterday. Last night about 6:30pm my Dad called for us to come see her & say our goodbyes. She was the most coherent she has been in weeks, maybe months. I got to spend some time alone with her as well.
She said shes tired & doesn't want to hurt anymore, she's ready to go home & see her mom. She said my grandma has been talking to her & they are waiting on her to join them in Heaven.
I told her I understood, shes fought a long, hard battle and it was ok for her to go, I would keep the family together & we would all take care of our Dad.
Once we all said our goodbyes they came in and sedated her, at her request she will remain that way, asleep, until she goes.
They said it was between God & the patient how long that will take but no more that a couple days at most. I left at midnight last night she was sleeping peacefully and still breathing.
I know this isn't the end, that we'll all be together again one day but I am going to miss her terribly until that day comes.
Its so strange, part of me is a basket case but the other part of me feels like I'm on a mission, in the zone, doing what I need to do to get me & the rest of my family through this.
I'm scared to lose her but I don't want to be selfish...if she's at peace with going I am letting her go

I'm sorry that you have to go through this. I completely understand how you feel. I had to do the exact same thing this past July. My stepfather who was only 49 had Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and he spent his last weeks in hospice. It was so hard to watch him die and to know that even though he wasn't able to speak, he knew that he would die. When my mother told him that it was ok to go, a tear ran down his cheek. The only thing that I can say is that it gets easier with time. You'll have your moments that you forget that she's gone and you'll have to remind yourself. Certain songs may bring back bad feelings, but it does get easier. You have my prayers.
