My mom is terminally ill and I found out today that she's being moved into inpatient hospice in the next few days. It means the end is very near. I've been a wreck all day.

I have my regular appointment with T on Thursday. He always tells me that I should call him if I need him. There's a part of me that wants to see him tomorrow, because I know I'll feel better after talking to him. There's another part of me that says I'm going to see him on Thursday anyway, so don't bother him - it's just one more day. There's another part that says it isn't worth going just to sit there and cry in front of him for 50 minutes.

I wish the parts would come to a consensus while I sleep tonight.

Any thoughts?

I sorry to hear about your mother. Call the therapist. There is no reason to suffer more. Just call him and take what comfort you can.
Thanks for this!

I am so sorry, I feel terrible for you, I know times like these test our inner strength and faith in God, ( or other higher power etc. ). We will all be here to help you, post when you need help.

As for T I would have called him the moment I got the news. And I would definitely go see him tomorrow and prepare for what may come, it's in Gods hands now. Either way your T should and will support you. I'll pray for you, if I may.
Thanks for this!

I'd recommend trying to see your T sooner. You've got additional stuff on your mind now that needs to be discussed.

Hugs and best wishes to you.

Critterlady, having been there twice in recent months with my dad and father in law, I empathize. Definitely call your T. Sometimes just the sound of my T's voice was enough to really help. I asked him to call and leave me a voice mail, and I listened to it over and over in those final days with my dad. I really don't know how I would have gotten through that time without my T.

I'll be thinking of you. My heart goes out to you.
Thanks for this!

I'm really sorry about your Mom. I agree that reaching out for T might be a good idea. You don't have to carry this on your own and this really merits a call to T.

Warm regards and hugs.
Thanks for this!

Thank you, everyone.

I called him and left a message. Now I'm wishing I hadn't, because I have no idea what I want him to do for me.
