The Hits Just Keep Coming...  

We always think it's not supposed to happen to our parents. I shall pray for you, I'm really good at it

Interesting thing about believing in God is it's never too late to erase your doubts and cry out to Him. He's always there.

And I know many mylotters are praying people - I'm sure that they will pray for you and your family.

Cancer is tough -especially to a parent. I felt the same way you did when my dad was diagnosed with colon cancer. I wished there was a way for me to take away his sickness. I wished there was a way to transfer the cancer to my body. And since there's no way - I just prayed. My dad kept saying that it's all in God's will.

I'll be praying for you and your family - you're not asking for it, I know. But it's there anyway.

Be blessed.

Hi my friend lamby, I wish that there was something that I
could say that would make it better and easier for you. But,
I am without words to really do this as you are without ways
to take the pain away from your Mom. I know how you feel
because I watched someone very close to me who had cancer
and it broke my heart to see her that way and all I wanted
to do was to be able to take away her pain and suffering.
She was my favorite Aunty and I loved her very much. So,
being that this is your Mom I can only imagine how helpless
you must feel and I am so sorry for the pain that it brings
you to have to see your Mom suffer. All I can say to you is
to be strong, for her at least and you know that your friends
are here for you, I am here for you always, no matter what,
no matter when. If you need to talk you know where to find
me. I have given you my digits and you can call an I will
call you right back no matter what time it is so the call
won't cost you anything. I won't tell you about God, because
frankly I don't put a whole lotta stock there either. Just
know that you have those real friends that care for you and
will be there for you! Love, Les

I remember feeling something similar the last time I saw both my grandmother and my father, prior to their deaths. They had both been sick for a long time but really seemed to change drastically in the last months.

Feeling like you want to run out of the house is normal, but I hope you will be able to spend some more time with your mother.

I'm so sorry for what your mom is going through and for what YOU are going through. I lost my dad after he'd been really sick for a long time, I helped my mom take care of him, it was rough. My dad was a big strong guy who NOBODY could beat, but the sickness just gobbled him up. I'm so sorry that you had to see your mom so sick, and I am sorry that the damned sickness is making her suffer so badly.
I really have no advice to offer (not that you need any), just my empathy. You know where to find me if you need to chat with a friend who cares and is familiar with those feelings that seem to conflict eachother.
Just keep talking, let it out, because keeping it inside will hurt you more than anything else right now. {{{HUGS}}}

Hi! I know there is not much i can say, but i do believe in God and i will pray for you and your mom. I am glad that you got to spend time with her, and i know about the running and the wanting to take it out on something or somebody.

Christian bigots want you to think that. God has NEVER said you have to believe in Him for your prayers to be heard!!! All that is required is a true need & love in your heart. You have BOTH Mike so now you have NO excuses!!! LET IT OUT!!!!
HUGGGGGGS to your Mom & to you!!!

I'm really sorry to hear about your mother. Years ago my sister was also diagnosed with cancer. She lived around 10 years after this, I really believe she would of lived longer if she wouldn't have given up. I know you must be thinking right now " this was your sister, this is my mother we are talking about." And I will say that you would be right,not only have I had to watch my sister go through this, I also have lost my mother. My sister was my best friend but my mother was my heart. I know that it hurts to see her this way and I know that you said you didn't want any advice but I am going to say this; be there for her as much as you can. You see I wasn't able to see my sister or mother very much, I seen them maybe once every 2 years. I lived in South Carolina and they lived in Florida. I don't want to over step my grounds and I don't know your story, but it seems like someone would have taken you to see her before this.

I'm so very sorry for you lamb, I know that sounds so stupid. It always does when someone tries to help with words.
I guess I just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you and your mom and the rest of the family...and I DO believe in God so I'm praying for you and her....

Your story is also my husbands story, this past June 24th his mom 68 died of bone cancer. It wasn't supposed to happen to her either, she was a woman so full of life, always ready to have fun. The most loving mom and grandma to our kids. She had so many friends young and old it didn't matter she was and Is one of the greatest people I ever met. She was just here in march at our home we live 8
hours from each other. It was the first time I'd seen her without her hair but she was still beautiful. She was weak but not to bad, stayed for 4 days then went to stay with her best friends at a camp. She had a blast. She came back to our house since her son my husband was gonna drive her home that night she started hurting, we called her doc and got med that didn't work. The next day they left for Texas
straight to doc office. He gave her some kind of pain patch and sent her home
she got weaker after that in and out of the doc office shed fallen a couple times passed out , her husband being up in age couldn't lift her
so finally they put her in the hospital, for 2 days then when her vitals were better he insurance com. Said send her home, we were there at the time and insisted they keep her she couldn't get out of bed she was in horrible pain she wasn't eating and needed to b there in the hospital the only thing they could do was send her to a nursing home for up to 21 days. With no choice 11we agreed. She was never alone we. Or someone was always there. The day we had to leave she seemed better she ate half a hamburger, was talking and we said we'll b back and see her at home ( her house ) about 5 days later my husbands dad called and said he needed help with paperwork the home gave him. So we left the next morning when we got there we werent prepared for the change in 5 days. She was so skinny her skin was so thin it was heartbreaking, she was on oxygen with she hated the mask kept pulling it off we spent the night begging her to leave it on. It was keeping her alive, at 345 am she started refusing her pain med. She was fighting everyone to keep the mask off. Hospice was called but didn't get there rill 8am they took her to the er gave her morphine in a drip iv she was finally pain free she died 2 hours later.
