Hi I just join and happy that I did today! I lost my mom aweek ago with lung cancer and went to the brain. Very hard to see a loved one go threw so much and you think they can fight this but all that happens is they get worse and pass on!! I looked in her eyes and see the emotions and all I could do is comfort her threw this passing on sage! My Mom tried to hang on but the pain was too great and to see her suffer like that was no words to explain !!! I talked to my Mom and told her if God is there reaching to you Mom time to let go and be free of the pain!! It hurt me so much to tell my Mom to go!! But being the caretaker and being ther day in and day out and watching all the system well I couldn't bear no more!! Family and friends were shock how fast Mom left us! And they knew she would not be here with us that she was dying! My Dad took it somewhat hard ! He is fighting the emotions! Mom was buried on there 51 anniversary ! We didn't have any choice, it just worked out that way! Well Dad went away this weekend to visit a friend down the shore and I am happy that he did! I will keep an eye on him and visit off and on to make sure he is healing his emotions! I am slowly healing but I know in my heart it will take time for me and dad and family and most of all friends! Thank you for letting me vent! I will pray for all the love ones who is sick with cancer and who is passing on ! It hurts in many ways! god Bless Sheila
