Well said ladies. For me I eventually just smiled and said I am doing the best I can under the circumstances or sometimes just “I’m OK”. Most people just have no clue. Unless they have been where we are, they just don’t get it. Unfortunately, I’m thinking that before it happened to me, I was probably one of them too. If nothing else, I think I have become a more understanding and compassionate person when it comes to others who have lost what we have.

As Marion said, we all have to find our own path and way of dealing with all of this. Everyone does that in their own way and time. Life does move on and we have to find a way to fit in.

Love & Hugs,
Darla

Jason,

I totally agree with the others and am glad you already have things moving in the right direction. I too am sorry you have had the need to reach out to us, but know that you have come to the right place. You will get all the help and support you want or need for you and your mom from all of the caring people on this site. We’ve all been there and know what it’s like. No matter what the issue some one here has dealt with it too and will be happy to help you out in any way that we can.

Hoping for the best for your mom. Take care and let us know how things are going. We truly do care.

Hugs,
Darla

Dear Krassi,

I am so sorry to hear that Boyana has passed away. You and your family have my deepest sympathy. She sounds like a beautiful woman and you and your family were a great comfort to her. Your last words to her will be with her forever and I know you will keep that promise. She was so young and it is hard to get your mind around what has happened when it goes so quickly. Take comfort in the fact that she did not have to suffer too long and that she is no longer suffering and in pain. Keep her with you forever in your heart and memories.

Hugs,
Darla

Dear Krassi,,

Can’t add much more than what has already been said, but want you to know that I am thinking of you and your family and that we are all here for you.

Hugs,

Dear Maggie,

I am so sorry for your loss. You, your mom and all of your family have my deepest sympathy. I truly know how you feel and what you are going through. My husband’s situation was much like your dad’s. He died 7 weeks after the first indications of anything being wrong and 10 days after his diagnosis of CC. He too was originally given 6 months and was to come home with hospice, but died before that could be arranged. I know this is no consolation, but want you to know you are not alone.

I too had so many questions but agree with Lainy in that all we really know is that we don’t have the answers . Hopefully in the future that will change. Seems like it is one step forward and two steps back with this disease.

I take some comfort in the fact that my husband did not suffer too long from this terrible cancer and that at least he is free of this and no longer in pain. I’m hoping you will be able to do the same.

Keep your dad with you in your heart and all the memories of the years you had with him.

Thinking of you and your family and hoping you will all find your way through this sad and trying time.

Hugs,
Darla

Dear Christian,

I am so sorry to learn that your mother has passed away. Also for what your mom and you went through these past few weeks. I am glad that in the end she passed peacefully with you by her side until the end. I’m sure as hard as this was for you she knew and appreciated the love and support you gave her and your respect for her wishes.

You and your family have my deepest sympathy. Yes, you are not alone. We are all here for you and also appreciate your offer of help and support to others.

Try to remember the good times and keep her with you forever in your heart and those memories. Take some comfort in knowing that she is no longer suffering and is at peace.

Hugs,
Darla
