My beautiful mother

My beautiful strong mother was diagnosed on the 16th Sept with this cancer and sadly it is inoperable.Mum is being her usual unselfish self by making 'things 'easier for us her loving daughters,her siblings and her grandson , ALL of whom she adores.

We are Scottish and oor mithers here are, like mums all over the world ,so precious to us,and it is so difficult to let her go . I CANT imagine life without her.Both my father and my brother are gone too and the only comfort I will have is hoping she will be with her son and husband who she loved with all her heart.

I am not really relegious nor is my mum but if you are ,maybe you can think of my mum in your prayers and thoughts.

There is no equivalent site to this in Scotland,but knowing you are all out there somehow makes me feel less lonely .

Take care Ann

I am so sorry about your beloved mom. I lost my dad from PC this year and I know how hard the journey is. I will keep both you and your mom in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that you and your sisters can spend some really quality time with her in the months to come. I know that made a huge difference for me when my dad passed.

I am very sorry that your mother has been diagnosed with this most terrible cancer.  My own beautiful mother passed away from this disease about 10 months ago.  I still cry every day since she was not only my loving and beautiful mom but also my best friend and greatest supporter.   I became my mom's caregiver and very close companion.   It was a time that was and is still so precious.  Please be with your mother as much as you can and say what you want to say.  I don't want to scare you but the end of life can be quick and unexpected.   Please have no regrets.  You are in my thoughts.

dly so sadly my mum died on 24th Oct with my sister and holding her. Even before my mum was ill from this dreadful disease we had for years had an close and very loving relationship which made it easy to say to each other everyday we loved each other.  For this I am so thankful.

 

For weeks I have cried out of her sight but now I just feel numd and on auto-pilot sorting out mums funeral arrangements.I know the reality catch up with me but not when. Like you I was mums daily companion and Ican't believe we won't be meeting every day or ever again.

 

Don't know about the American state of funding but research here in Scotland into this awful awful disease is dreadful. But hey like your goverment ours still find the billions to fund wars nobody wants !

Thank you again for thinking of us and would be good to keep in touch and i will let you know any progress at this side of the ocean !

Hi Ann,

I read your previous post and this latest, and I'd like to extend my deepest sympathies to you following the loss of your Mom. I too lost my mother this year, in March and know the pain and sorrow you must feel. My mother went through a lot and was in a lot of pain from first diagnosis to her passing.  She was 83 years old.

For those with loved ones who find themselves in such an advanced state of this cancer, it is hard to know if the various treatments would have been a good or worse thing. I accept that my mother is probably in a better place as any treatments would have been devastating given her condition. I still miss her very much.

I wish you peace and much strength in the coming days. One day we all will be reunited with our loved ones. It is the one consolation to those who believe, that helps to keep us going.

Take care and god bless you.
