I am sorry to hear about your Mother. When we found out of my Mothers cancer, she died four months later. My heart truly goes out to you and your family.
Wishing you all a gentle healing.

I'm sorry to hear about the big "C" sneaking into your family. I understand a glimmer of the pain your family is going through (I lost my grandma a year ago, and my papa (grandpa) a month ago). I have found writing an enormous help. The only words of comfort that come to me are: love her, be there for her, and don't forget to take time for yourself.

I never got the oppurtunity to know mu mom was dying. She was fine one day and then in ICU and then dead. It was like a blur.
I never got the chance to say I'm sorry's. Ilu's or goodbyes. You were blessed, I'll have to believe my mom just knew.
