Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I'm so sorry Angie. Hang in there so that you can be positive around her. I'm sure she doesn't want you to hurt any more than you have to. My prayers will be with your family at this horrible time. Robyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Angie, My prayers go out to you during this very difficult time. I lost my mother to cancer on December 22, 2005. It has been a little over a year now and I'm still struggling with the loss. My mother raised me to be strong, too, and it was not so hard saying goodbye (she was happy to be free of her suffering) as it has been dealing with the experience of sharing her last days. I was with her every night for her final two weeks. She went so fast it was not even possible to get her hospice care. I slept in a recliner the few hours a night I could (a special treat for my back problems) and experienced everything she experienced save the final release. My therapist tells me I'm suffering from post traumatic stress in that I am unable to separate myself from the experience and let it go. I'm making progress with this now and would be willing to offer any support or help I can during the difficult days to come. Please feel free to contact me off-list is you feel the need. Again, prayers for you, your mother and the rest of your family. Charlie Fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
