Hi, I'm Tina and you can read under colon cancer "legal advice" about my experience with my momma, she battled colon cancer for 9 1/2 months and the last month we moved her in with her sister for 24 hour care as me and my two brothers worked and none could afford to take off for the 24 hour care. We rotated up until the last month and those were the worse 31 days of our life. After 10 days there her brother went and changed us from power of attorney to him as her poa while she signed it on 1200mg of morphine. The last week she hurt so bad the morphine was like an asprin. My aunt turned into a warden and well I wanted to kill everyone who hindered my time with her the first 3 weeks she was there, the last week I was allowed to stay all night with her and help do all medical needs, no one was in the room with her when she passed, yet I got there 5 minutes later and lay next to her and washed her and braided her hair and changed her pj's and I am the one who fixed her up and the funeral home. I thought all that and the pics I took of her after I finished getting her ready for the funeral, somehow I thought this would help me say goodbye, knowing she was free of that pain and I had pis of her before her body was gone forever, and I too lay in the bed with those pics, and want to die I can't hear her voice on the phone and her laughter is gone, and yet knowing she is in a better place, eases nothing. My best friend is gone and nothing can change that. I thought I would feel her presence in my home or her's, nothing. She passed away on Dec 17th, we buried her on the 21st and my 33rd birthday is X-mas eve. Mom buried her momma 2 months after her 33rd b-day. My boys 14 and 11 are all screwed up and my life is at a stand still. I will keep you in my prayers, know this, there are no words to help you only time to lessen this pain. One day the sadness will be pride that our moms are in Heaven and tears of sorrow will be of joy at memories of wonderful days from the past. God bless you. Tina
