Grief sucks

[Hippiedeb5150]

My mom is dying of stage 4 lung cancer that has spread. It's hard to watch her on this journey. I can't seem to get my shit together. Just so sad & extremely anxious. Just wanna feel some relief

I’m so sorry that you are going thru this please don’t beat yourself up. It’s very understandable why U R so sad and anxious. I was my mother’s sole caregiver when she had stage 4 Pancreatic cancer. It was so hard for me. Please try to find a cancer support center near where you live or try sources likes the American Cancer Society. They have support groups that can be very helpful for you. I’m here 4 U.

I'm very sorry your going through this, it's exhausting on you too, I understand that...and it's okay to do something to just give yourself a break, and re-charge your batteries guilt free. Even if it's just watching a movie and eating some Ben and Jerry's. Best Wishes to you.

I agree with the other posts Hippiedeb. There are times in our lives where the bare minimum is okay and we don't need to have our crap together. Take your time to grieve and have compassion for yourself. I don't think there is any getting around this being a very very hard thing. I wish you peace, hope, and strength. ☮️

Sorry to hear about your Mom. Grief does suck but it doesn't last forever. Be there for her as much as you can right now.

A day will come when the good memories of her will dominate your thoughts.

Dearest Hippiedeb5150, seeing a loved one go through this struggle can make you

feel so all alone and helpless. As "Shnookie" suggested, please turn to the American

Cancer Society. They can help in many ways to support both you and your mom.

Thinking of you and your mother during this most difficult journey. xx

My Mum died suddenly a few days after I went abroad, I had to come home for the funeral, and then go back again. It was a short visit and no time to grieve for me. You have the chance to be with your mum and hold her hand as she passes.

This is a great comfort for both the dying person and the relative with them, as I have found out subsequently, the fact that you can be there and talk to them, and often they can still hear, as hearing is the last thing to leave. if you can, have a radio on, or a CD quietly playing her favourite songs, talk to her about the things you can see outside the window, the weather, the birds, etc.

You will know you have done your best for her.

Cheers, Midori
