Dear Pam, sorry for the loss of your mom but she is not really gone as she lives in your memories and heart. How thankful she must have been to have a daughter like you who helped pave the way for her journey home. Our prayers are with you and your family.
Hi G. Pain, suffering, not knowing, trials and tribulations thy name is CC. Sounds like we could use a few scoreboards to keep track of all the doctors, visits and regiments. We are thinking of you and hope you are soon feeling lots better while keeping the monster at bay. Please keep us posted.
Dearest Sarah, I am so very sorry to hear what happened to your mom. There is no excuse in the world for you and your mom to have been treated so shamefully. It would not serve any purpose though to go back and relive what might have been different so one must go forward. With that in mind I wish to say that “moms” really never leave their children. She will always be in your memory and in your heart. She is watching over you all now, just from a different place. I found this message that I hope can help in some small way:
You will grieve my loss, but I have not gone. My body is beyond your reach, but my soul is touching yours. I am the one who enters your dreams. Caresses your face Hugs you. Misses you. I have not left, my spirit is with yours. I am all around you when you call. I am the gentle breeze when there is no wind. I am in the photo on the wall when you blink in disbelief. I am the song that enters your head for no reason, yet it reminds you. Don’t grieve that I am gone. I am with you, beside you, in you. I will be forever your mom.
We are so sorry to hear about Seth. We are adding him to our prayers. Our daughter’s fiance has Follicular B Cell Lymphoma. It affected only his lymph nodes and at this point he is doing fabulous. Please keep us posted and again our thoughts and prayers go out to Stacie and Seth.
Great news July girl. Who every thought we would cheer when we hear someone can have surgery? YAY! We are so glad you are having surgery! And yes, cross each bridge as you come to it. Great news.
Oh, Kris, I am so sorry to hear what is happening. You may not think so, but your attitude still sounds good. Is there not a kinder antidepressent they can try? Sounds like you have a wonderful doctor. Sure don’t blame you for feeling scared, but I know you have a lot of spunk in you and we will be your cheerleaders….fight, fight, fight!
Marc, we are so very sorry to hear about your mum. Mum’s never really leave us, “You will grieve my loss, but I have not gone. My body is beyond your reach, but my soul is touching yours. I am the one who enters your dreams. Caresses your face Hugs you. Misses you. I have not left, my spirit is with yours. I am all around you when you call. I am the gentle breeze when there is no wind. I am in the photo on the wall when you blink in disbelief. I am the song that enters your head for no reason, yet it reminds you. Don’t grieve that I am gone. I am with you, beside you, in you. I will be forever.”
Dear Jamie, welcome to the best little club in the world that no one wishes to join. WOW! That is some story and what a great attitude you have. I am just in awe at what you have been through and the fact you have had clean scans. You are a ray of hope for everyone. Wishing you good luck on the next scan and please keep us posted.
Vincent I am so sorry to hear about your mom’s progression. I am also a care taker and when I needed to let of steam or cry I would get in the car and drive a few block and either let out a few screeches or turned the radio up and sang.
I sang out loud until I got dizzy. Really helped. Your mom sounds like such a great mom and a lovely lady and she is so very lucky to have you for a son. Hang in and I hope you can find a way to let some of the emotions go. You have been solid rock for your mom from the beginning and it really is a hard thing to watch someone you love so much go through this painful journey. I had ulcers years ago but they can be fixed pretty easily. Please keep posting us.Beautifully said, David. That is my motto, Attitude Is Everything. We are so happy for you and your family. I don’t think I could have been a good Care Taker without Teddy’s positive attitude. Honestly I don’t think there was a time I really didn’t think he was going to beat this and so far so good. Please stay in touch and keep us posted even with good news, we love it.
Hi Ashlea. I just have to repeat a true story I have posted before. I hope it will make you feel better in that your dad is preparing for a beautiful, peaceful place. My dad did not believe in anything he could not understand so the thought of anything hereafter totally escaped him. When he was 93 and in good health he had his gall bladder removed. He improved quickly for 93, went home and the second day home he went in to a deep sleep. I could not wake him and called the Paramedics. They could not wake him and finally did the infamous breast bone rub. He just bounced awake almost off the bed. My mom said she was worried as he would not wake up and he answered, “I was dreaming, I saw heaven!”. She asked him what it was like and he said “it was so beautiful.” We took him to ER and my daughter came and she said, “Grandpa, I heard you saw heaven.” He replied, “Yes, I did and it was beautiful.” He passed a day later. If I didn’t believe before it sure made me a believer then! I hope that this, coming from a non believer, helps to ease your concern. You are a good, loving daughter and when you go home, try to just enjoy your visit and perhaps create some new memories.
Hi Quanyinprayer, and yes it is so very hard to watch our loved ones go through all the bad things that go along with CC. You sound like a wonderful daughter and I hope you can keep your good attitude up and don’t give up as a lot of hope is needed. It sounds like your moms tube and bag is much like my husband had. They are uncomfortable and when I used to change the bag for him the odor was horrendous. The leakage is as vile as the disease! I am glad though that your mom is finding a little more comfort as that is the important thing. Please keep us posted and again you are just great!
Oh, Tess that is about the best news ever!!! And don’t think “Grandpa” isn’t beaming over this one. I am so very happy for you. Is is not funny how things evolve? I am sure the tears are bittersweet but don’t think for one minute that your dad doesn’t know and probably already knows if its a boy or girl. Many years ago…I used to eat an apple and it seemed to help the nausea. I am just so excited for you I could burst. Please keep us posted on this wonderful event.
