Dearest Teresa, I just answered your email and sorry about the date but I had an infusion yesterday and have brain fog. Just want to add that it is way too soon for you to feel any other way yet. Try to be a tad easier on yourself. You have lots of family right here so use us!
Oh how I miss my mom, she knows me the most. I’ve been with her since August 15. She told me a couple of weeks ago, her body was tired. She taught hard till the last day. Moh how I miss you, oh I how much I love you!
I am so sorry Teresa. I have no words that will make the hurt go away. All I do know is that your mom was blessed, as you were, to be able to spend time with each other, to smile, laugh and share stories. Sending positive energy your way.

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn’s rain,
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die. By Mary Elizabeth Frye
For everything beautiful that you see
will bring a memory of me.Teresa,
I have been where you are right now with your mum with my dad some years ago and i so know how tough this is for you. You are so right in that it is so hard to watch a loved one go through this and those who have not been through this will not understand. But please know that we so do understand everything and we are all here for you. My thoughts are with you and your mum right now and I wish you strength and hope for a better day for your mum.
Hugs,
Gavin
Teresa,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your mom. I’m glad you have hospice helping you to keep her as pain free and comfortable as possible. Know that we are all here for you to help and support you in any way that we can.

DarlaTeresa, I believe that we pick our own time to make our transition. No matter what anyone says we take the journey when we are ready to take it. Could Mom be waiting for a date that is close and means something to her? Could she be waiting for you to give her permission to go as is the case at times. By telling a loved one to go to their peace and that you will be ok gives you both a release. Remember the hearing is last to go and even if Mom is sleeping just lightly touch her arm and tell her you love her. I know she knows but tell her anyway. I also feel when she looks at you like she does her eyes are thanking you for being such a wonderful daughter. I hope she is comfortable and that you find the strength within you to stay the course.
My mom is such a fighter, she is trying so hard. This disease is such an ugly invasion to her body. She is sleeping today, but last night was hard. It’s hard seeing my precious mom decline so fast. I am so thankful for being with her on this journey and trying so hard to have hope. Each day I’ve treated it as her last day on earth. She has such a great since of humor. Oh how I miss her beautiful smiles. Sometimes I feel the medicine she is on, takes the best of her these past few days. Each day the nurses stop by, they say they will be amazed if she makes it through the night. But for some reason, she still wants to prove them wrong. Each day I hope she will get better. Each day I read to her while she sleeps and tell her how beautiful she is. She is so aware of what is going on with her body. I feel my mom will hang on much longer then the one’s around her say it’s close. Last Monday she told me she would be around for awhile. In August I promised to my mom I’d be with her 100%. When she looks into my eyes I can see she knows I’m the one that cares the most. I pray for hope and strength for my mom and I, I hope tomorrow will be a better day. Sometimes I feel people are just here to update their FB status as surrounding by family and friends.
