I am so sorry to hear about your father's diagnosis. With my father recently

in a life-threatening situation, I was faced with visions of what it would be

like without him, and I lost it on several occassions just thinking about it

(the most recent while watching the movie " Arthur " - and the scene where the

butler is dying). I recently talked with him about it, and told him this was

the real first time that I actually considered that I may not have parents

one day. It was the old cliche he told me, that death is a part of life and

not to be sad, but just to be grateful that we did have good memories to

reflect on- some people don't ever get that. Of course that didn't make me

feel much better, but in the big picture, I know what he's saying. Still, I

would be a river of tears- so my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you right now

in dealing with this. May you continue to share beautiful days together,

whether far or near, and keep memories and happier times alive and well in

the spirit of your time together now. My thoughts and prayers are with your

family.

So sorry to hear about this. I can't imagine. I can completely

understand the dilemma with your mom. You certainly have nothing to

feel guilty about in that regards.

Keep positive. Our neighbor's BIL was dx with stomach cancer 3

years ago. They told him he only had less than 2 weeks - probably

just a day or 2. He refused to go to the dr for so long that the

cancer was everywhere when he finally did. He decided to go for the

chemo (after surgery) and started some homeopathic approaches as

well. I think they were Native American in origin, but I can find

out if you'd like.

lost his battle last weekend, but he was able to get much much

more time than anyone imagined. And, his quality of life was very

good. He was not miserable, but rather was able to enjoy that gift

of 3 extra years.

Stay positive. Miracles are everywhere! You hear lots of stories

of people beating this.

Hi :

I am so sorry to hear about your family troubles. It is so sad that

you will be helping your father make his transition to the other side

so shortly - it sounds as though he is a wonderful father and that

you love him dearly. I'm sure that you feel like you are a mess, and

just know that you will probably feel this way for a while, and it is

completely normal. Grief is a strange and strong emotion, and the

best thing for you to do is to work with the grief. Maybe there is

even a family counseling session at the hospital that you can attend -

many times they have groups for family members to help deal with the

illness, as well as with the practical needs that your father and

mother will need.

As for your mother - we know that you love her as your message is

filled with love and concern. And giving up your life and your life

with your son to care for her is not always the best solution. As

you said - you do have your son to think about first. And you have to

take care of yourself as well or you are not useful to anyone.

My advise would be to do the best you can do with what you have. It

may be that you cannot take your mother in, but maybe you can have

her over a couple times a week? Or maybe you can prepare an extra

pan of lasagna or an extra casserole and bring it over to them when

you are cooking? Or maybe you can volunteer to bring your mother to

some of her appointments (doctor, hairdresser, etc.) Or pick up meds.

Again, a group for family members might help with some of these

practical concerns, and socialworkers can help to find county and

state services that might be available to her (as well as those

covered by her insurance).

My suggestion would be to talk with your sister, and the two of you

can make a list of what needs to be done with both your father and

your mother. Maybe you can enlist in the help of a socialworker, or

someone similar to help with this list? Check into resources in the

place you live (some places have eldercare or adult daycare, and some

are county-run). Then, make a list of what's left and not covered by

county services or insurance, and you and your sister can talk about

how you can share in their caregiving?

These are all just suggestions, and I may have left out the obvious

ones. I know that you can get through this, it will just take time

and patience with yourself. Keep yourself well, and know that you

are doing out of love for your parents, your child, and yourself.

With kindest regards,

That really is sad news. More then sad really. You're right - I don't know what

to say other then you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. How is

your dad holding up? I'm sorry you received such contradictory reports. I give

up trying to understand doctors at this point.

It is not bad of you to say that you can not handle caring for your mother. Like

you said, you have a child to care for. You and your sister will find the

appropriate place for her to be and you will continue to love and support your

mom in that way.

Hang in there - I cannot even imagine how difficult this must be for you. Be

strong for your dad, but remember to let those feelings out as well. You need

the release.

I am sooo sorry to hear about whats going on with your dad. I cant

even begin to imagine what you are going through. But please dont

think that you are mean or a bad person for the way you feel about

taking care of your mom. Taking care of a child is such a big job and

to add someone with a mental illness would be so stressful. I can

completly understand your feelings on that. So dont beat your self up

about that. Please know your dad and your family will be in my

prayers! Praying for one of GODs Miracles! They do happen!

I am so sorry to hear that, . Your family is definitely in my prayers. We are all here for you to vent at or just for a shoulder to cry on. It is very hard to have a sick family member and you are not a horrible person for not wanting to take care of your mother. My 96-year-old grandmother has Alzheimer's and my mother is her primary caregiver. My mom still works and takes care of her. She is up all night long and my mom gets no sleep. It is very hard and I see the stress it puts on my mom. Don't beat yourself up over this. You all need to just be there for your dad to help him get through this because he needs you now more than ever. I am sorry this is happening and I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.

June,

I'm sure is romping across the Rainbow Bridge as we speak. I

know I'll have to face that soon with my sweet 15-year old cat,

Mickey, so my heart goes out to you,

June,

I am so sorry. I know this has been a difficult day for you but you will never

forget the wonderful times you had with your precious girl.

Many years ago, we became friends because of our common love for our dogs. I

hope it brings you some peace to know that was there waiting for and

they have having a wonderful time together. Just think how much fun we would

have if we ever met - that is what our girls are doing know.

If you ever need to talk, please don't be afraid to call.

Love, Pat

June,

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved pet. Like so many others here,

I've also had to make the same decision. Girl was a member of yur family,

and I have no doubts you love her very much. I've found it rather amazing how

great our love for our pets could be, and so the grief process is just as great.

I hope you find comfort in knowing that she is no longer in pain, and that

so many people understand what you have and are going through, and are here for

you, me included.

June,

I am just now catching up on two days of postings...I am so sorry to

hear of your loss. It is a great heartache you feel, I am sure.

What a difficult decision to make and a right one that you did as

Girl counted on you and looked to you, until the end to care

for her as she could not. What a great and selfless love you gave

her. How lucky she was to have you.

Special prayers to you and your family. I am sorry.

You have my sincerest condolences for your loss. OR eon will be sadly missed.

He provided a great deal of advice and encouragement to newcomers and was

generous with his experiences. Undoubtedly, he has helped many men live fuller

lives.
