Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I am so sorry to hear of your situation and i am sure as does everyone in the group send their deepest condolences. I know that at the time hearing this doesn't help we have had alot of death in my family and i know that nothing really helps at the time. If you ever need anyone to talk to you can always write to us. I don't get on as often as some but it is always wonderfull to know that there are people who understand what you are going through lindsey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 BIG HUGE HUUUUG I am so sorry - I know exactly where you are. I went through the same thing with my Dad - only unfortunately we were never able to bring him home for the hospital to hospice .. but we were by his side as much as possible and we were there when he took his last breath ! (Its been a year and I remember it like yesterday and still makes me cry). There is nothing I can say except find a teddy bear - give it a big hug and cry ! Its an swful disease - seems to sneak up and get worse all of a sudden too ... no-one else could ever understand what happens. but the folks on this list are living it !

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Dearest , My heart goes out to you at this time of sorrow and emotions. I hear your pain. I know this may not console you at this time, but know that your mother will be in a much better place, free of the frustrations and the beastly disease that claimed her life and chained her down and wouldn't allow her be the person she really was. I wish you peace and comfort during this trying time in your life and comfort for your mother.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Dear , I feel so bad for you. I lost both my parents within 5 weeks of one another. Father sudden MI, and mother 5 weeks later with cancer. This disease we deal with as caregivers is not only our loved ones disease, but ours too. We share in everything! You and your Mom will be in my prayers. I know that God will hold you and your Mom close to him and comfort you.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 you and your family are in my prayers. I wish I had some magical words to ease your pain but I don't. I have turned to my faith in times like yours, it helps me. I still feel the anger and loss of control but I know that a much greater force does have control.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 (((())), I know just what you are going through. I lost my mother on May 30 after sitting by her bedside in the hospital, in ICU, then in a rehab hospital for more than 3 weeks. I found reading to mother from books she loved comforting and helpful for both of us. She always seemed to know when I was there reading to her even when she was heavily sedated.

Remember if you have done all you can, loved your mom and let her know, than you have done the very best thing you could to help her with the terible disease process. Remember : Keep your eyes on God and his angels will suround you and your mom. They will she her to the other side of this disease and she will have the most beautiful life eternal. You can hold on to her or you can ask God to take her to this better place so she can finaly have the peace and comfort she has so much needed. You can shine for your mom and live your life through God and show others that you are special. I know it is hard to let go, sad but she will live in you and you have memories and that no one can take from you.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Dear - I feel so bad for you. I think I know how you feel. Two weeks ago my frail bedriden Dad was crying and told my Mother he did not want to leave her. They were married 67 years ago this month. I cried hysterically for 2 days. My tears have since dried, but I know they will return. I have had my wonderful Dad for 62 years and it is hard to let go. I wish I could say something to make you feel better. I can only tell you that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
