Stages

Hello I have a sister 44yrs old with Mesophilioma, started in her lungs, liver. went to her spine and now on to her brain. She has made a sudden change for the worst in the past week. They are doing radiation on her to bye time. Her brain is swelling and she doesn't look like the same person I saw a couple weeks ago. She is like a mother and one of my bestfriends, seeing her like this is very hard. She eats when she want and drinks okay. A majority of the time she just sleeps. I have lost loved ones to cancer and other things but no one as close as she is to me. I have never been so hurt in my life. I don't know how long she has but they say she is in her last days. I would words of encouragement and how to deal with it. Thanks

Dear Jerri,

I am so so sorry to hear you are going to lose your sister.  Try to spend as much time as possible with her and let her know how much she means to you.  Don't forget to touch her---hugs and kisses are important for both of you.  Pray for strength for both of you too---for you to face this tremendous loss and for her to face the end of one journey and the beginning of another.  I will pray for you too.
