Please help me? I cried from bout 8:30pm till bout 1am the day I found out, and I'm bout to cry right now, please help.

Sorry Teardrops. I am thinking of you and your mom and sending up some prayers. LMO's right. Spend as much time as you can with your mom.

I am so sorry Teardrop. It is so hard to hear news like that. Please spend all the time with her you can, let her talk as much as she can about the past - so you will know as much about her as possible. As my Dad's health declined, we spent wonderful hours listening to him talk of his childhood, his siblings, his work, etc. We learned so much more than we had ever known (I was 49 when he passed away). It also gave him the chance to tell us things, knowing he might not have another chance. I was with him everyday for 9 months prior to his death - as we built a suite on our home for him and Mom. I CHERISH every second of those 9 months ! I was alittle nervous at first about whether to actually TALK about his dying, but we found it became easier, and HE needed to talk about it as well.

Crying is normal. The grieving process is different for everyone. Take it one day at a time, but through it all, remember to take care of YOU as well.

Prayers for you and your Mom.

I'm so sorry! I know what it's like to lose your mom.

Yes, spend as much time as you can with her. Let her get things off her chest even if it's hard for you. It will make it easier for her.

Teardrop,

I went through exactly what you are going through just last year.....except none of my Mothers Dr's would admit that the cancer was spreading & that she was going to die.....it was something I had to see & understand myself with no one to help me.

I will PM you because my emotions I am going through this year looking back on what I was going through last year at this time are not easy to put into a public forum.

Dear Lisa, I am sorry to hear about your mother. Those words are used often, but do not convey the sadness I feel for your situation. If you do not want to know how long your mother has maybe you should not find out. Enjoy each day with her as if it were your last together. Do anything and say everything you want to. Enjoy every minute and make sure she knows how special and loved she is. Try, (if you can) to laugh and smile and joke with her. Make these times together your very best.

Lisa,

Losing our mothers is one of the hardest things all of us have to go through at some point in our lives. Just treasure every moment, and know we're here for you.
