Jason,

So glad that things are looking some what improved and that you are now there to see this for yourself. I am so impressed with both you and your mom’s positive attitude and outlook. I also agree that hospice can be a positive experience for everyone.

I have one interesting thing to add although a bit off the CC topic. My mom had Parkinson’s and passed away last fall. Up until the week before she died she was still getting her hair done every week. I guess that is one thing that they can cling to as something normal and routine that they can continue to do. So good for your mom that she still does this.

Take care Jason and keep on updating us as you can.

Hugs,
Darla

Dear Jason,

I am so sorry to hear all of this, but your attitude and thoughts are right on. I love your positivity in the face of all this. You are so right to focus on your mom’s quality of life at this point, along with controlling any pain she may have now or in the future. You are definitely a beacon of light. You are not being selfish. Good thoughts and prayers for your mom and also for you and the rest of your family.

Know that you have lots of help and support to fall back on. We are here when you need us.

Update us as you can.

Love & Hugs,
Darla

Dear Kerry,

I am so sorry to hear that your father has passed away. What a wonderful way to remember him. It is good to remember all of the good things he did and meant to all of you. Knowing that it happened quickly and painlessly must be of some comfort to you and your family. Know that he will always be with you in your heart and those fond memories.

Thinking of you and your family at this sad and trying time.

Hugs,
Darla

Carol,

I’m glad you got your dad out for a little while. Even tho’ it was hard, I’m sure he greatly appreciated the effort and the change of scenery. I too hope you will have more good days and will be able to do this more often for him.

You are not alone in your feelings. We all hate this horrible disease.

Hugs,
Darla

Jason,

I’m hoping for the best for your mom. Glad they admitted her and she is now being watch over and taken care of. Also happy to hear she is feeling better and her spirits are good. You are such a strong support and wonderful advocate for your mom. I too hope she will have a comfortable, restful night and am hoping for the same for you too Jason. Take care and let us know how things are going as you find out more.

Hugs,
Darla
