Eileen,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mom and the suffering you have all endured these past months. I will be joining you in a matter of hours, as I am sitting by my 62 old mom's hospital bed trying to say goodbye. My mom was diagnosed 8 months ago and also had Chemo. They only gave her around 3 mos. without is so I am glad we tried. Although she was so sick, I was thankful to still have her. Now, she is suffering so and I can not imagine life without her but want her at peace. I am alone in this as I have no siblings and am her sole caregiver, but it helps to know there are others like us out there. Maybe this site can help others and can find a way to increase awareness of these horrible organ cancers. I hope your days ahead will bring joy and peace.
Take care,
Sherry
Sherry I am so sorry.
I have 3 brothers but none of them were there during this last six months. I went to my Moms every Saturday for the last 6 months. They went 1 time each. My Mom was holding on at the end so my brother could get there and she could tell him bye.
I watched her talk to God and her Mom and Dad who had gone on before them. That is the gift they leave us. Knowing that there is life on the other side. She was a Christian so I am at peace with her passing. However, the focus of my life for the last 6 months has been my Mom and now I am lost. My Dad is really lost. I try and call him several times a day. He lives 2 1/2 hours from me.
Are you with Hospice? They are wonderful. My prayers are with you. This is a very hard thing to deal with. Watching someone you love die. Then we are left here alone and that is a very deep pain. I miss my Mom so much. I miss talking to her on the phone and visiting with her. Nothing will ever fill that void.
Let me know if you need to talk. I will pray for you and your Mom..God Bless Eileen
