The end is near...

[nativetxn]

Mishetta, I'm so sorry to hear this, I know how heartbroken you must be feeling right now.

I have no words that can comfort you, those words do not exist--we both know that, but I wanted to tell you that I <i>do</i> care and I would like to help if I can.

I'm sending you my phone number by private message. I am only 90 miles away from you and I can come and bring you a movie or book, or a cup of coffee. I will even wear a surgical mask (so I won't spread germs) and visit with your mother while you get out of the house for a while.

{{{HUGS}}} sweetie, my heart is breaking for you. I worry for my <i>own</i> mother who was diagnosed with gastric carcinoma this past December. I think I know how you are feeling right now.

Call me if I can help in any way or if you just need to talk.

I am so sorry for you and your family Mishetta. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this. I will pray for that miracle for her.

Make sure your mothers hears how much you love her every day. Also, when her strength is gone, make sure she knows it is okay for her to travel home.

Try to stay strong sweetie! Call the Hospice to help you out ~ they are a fantastic organization. That will allow you some peace and maybe a needed afternoon away.

I am truely sorry to hear about your mom. It is a very hard and long road to watch your parents die after a long illness. Be strong and just keep plugging a long. Hospice is a beautifull organization. Both of my parents had used them in their final days and made it alot easier for us kids.

Your in my prayers and thoughts.

Mishetta, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I know the pain you are going through as I lost my own mother to lung cancer back in '97. It is that fine line between quality of life and quantity of life. I am praying that you and your mom find peace and that when it is her time that she does go in her sleep as she wishes. In the meantime enjoy those good days, go over old photos, write down stories, recipes, etc.

Mishetta , I can't say anything that hasn't been said yet, except that no matter how long you have, you never get ready for a loved one passing. I had 13 years of my life to get ready for my dad passing, and when he passed I felt like my world had just collapsed.
It's a hard decision to make , to stop or not to stop treatment, I only pray to God not to put me in that position.
Unfortunately my father was very aware of what was going on, to the point where he picked his own plot and exactly where he wanted to be buried. His wishes were granted.
I can only pray for a peaceful passing when your mom's time comes, and for you and your family to have the strength to get through it. {{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}

I am so sorry. I know from your posts how much your mother means to you. I can't imagine the pain and the heart-break. I'll be thinking of you

Native Texan, what a kind and wonderful person you are. My eyes are tearing up thinking of how wonderful the people on this board are.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.no matter how long you have to try to prepare ourself it is never long enough,my DGM passed away in september 2001 and she had been sick for a few years and i was still not prepared for it.there is stilla hole in my heart and it hurts so bad.i have never felt so empty in my life as when i lost her.
Cry as much as you need to because if you dont let it out it will build up inside of you and it will bring you down.i cried everyday,i am just glad i was as close to her as i was.I was the one she wanted with her 24/7 and i will never regret doing all i done for her,she had 5 children living and when i would try to go home and rest and one of them would be staying with her,if she needed to get up and go to the bathroom she would have them call me to come and help,she said she was afraid they would let her fall, LOL.i will quit rambling.if you need me Please free to PM me.

I am so very sorry. I sent you a PM.

The loss of a parent is like no other. Having just lost my own Mom after a long series of illnesses and being ready in a sense, it still hurts. Take comfort in knowing that whether it is said or not your parent will be grateful for what you have done, your support and love.

My heart hurts for you. I will keep you and your mom, Margo, in my prayers. Try to be strong, but know that it is ok if you can't be. I am so sorry you have to go through this.

I was with my father as he passed. He suffered greatly with his illness, but at the end, there was peace. Please know that with her passing she will be free of the earthly bond her body has on her and that she will have peace. God bless.
