Hello, Dear Aiste! So glad to see you on here and to know you are coming along and I am sure it makes your Dad extremely happy. You know that I am a believer in the beyond as I find it brings such great comfort. If you feel Dad around you I have a list I can send you of the things our loved ones do to let us know they are with us. I cannot believe it is already 3 months. Take care and know that one day all the good memories take over! Sending you a huge hug! { } { }
Hi Jules, I lost my dad 3 months ago and agree that when the body dies, our loved ones do not die, they remain with us in our love, memories.
I’m very sorry to hear about your mum but you’re not alone in this world in this battle against this terrible desease. In my opinion, everyone on this site be it a patient or a caretaker is a winner. I hope in the future cure must be found and will be.
Sending my support to you from Lithuania.
Dear Jules,
Thank you for checking in. I’m sorry that this is the path that your family has had to travel, but I also see that there were some memories forged that I hope will offer you comfort in the future.
My love and prayers are with your Mum and family,
Catherine
Dear Jules, not what we want to her but I am so happy that you have all made the most of what ever time you have. I know it is not easy but I always felt I rather have laughter to remember. It is so good just to her from you, wish the news could have been better. Sending prayers your way and wishing for a comfortable journey!
Hi all,
I haven’t posted on here in absolutely ages but I pop by to see how everyone is getting on now and again. My beautiful Mum is now just over two years down the road in her battle with ICC. I thought I’d just check-in to let you know where we’re up to with our journey.
We have been through chemo, alternative medicines, several surgeons debating whether Mum could have an op (she couldn’t in the end). We’ve had ups and downs, laughs, tears, and every symptom, emotion and medication under the sun.
It seems now that we’re sadly reaching the end of the road. Mum is sleeping a lot and is very confused. She has also had terrible ascites, which is pretty uncomfortable for her. The doc gave her a few days to live about two weeks ago but she came round a bit and she is still here.
It’s been a sad journey but we have learned so much along the way. Mum has kept her sense of humour all along and there have still been good times in such difficult circumstances. I am so proud of her. The hospice staff have been fantastic too – I recommend hospice to anyone, they’ve helped us so much.
The body may die but love survives. Much love to all of you on this board. You have unknowingly helped to keep our little family sane throughout this time. We will be forever grateful for that.
