Pro...my heart goes out to you and your family..........Open your heart to your Lord and your family. Even though I'm not of Catholic faith, I have found quiet meditation and lighting a candle in church helps the pain. We also have group meetings for people who have lost , or are losing a loved one here. May you get strength from your faith . What is her name so I can put her in my prayers? ((((((((( Hugs )))))))) from Grammy.
Oh Pro...I'm so sorry to hear what you're having to go through. These things are so difficult. I lost my Mom three years ago to lung cancer which metasticized (sp) to a brain tumor. It was so very hard to watch her go through that for sure. I agree with Grammy...my faith gave me so much comfort during that time...it still does!! Talk to others who have gone through what you're going through. My brother and I are really close, and that comforts me so much, because he truly knows how I feel, and always listens. I want you to know that I'm always here to listen to you if you need to talk. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. ((((((((BIG HUGS))))))) to you. Take care.
I want to thank you all from the bottom of my soul for your support. I knew you guys would be here for me. I know, if she does go, it's a release sweeter than any we could be given. But we are just not ready for her to go yet. It is so baffling to me when I look at her with a breathing mask on and hooked up to so many machines how this could be happening to her. What did she do? I want so badly to steal the sickness from her and suffer it for her. Nothing would make me happier. I don't know what I would do if she passed. I would probably have to be committed.
It isn't that I can't talk to my family. They are always telling to me open up and tell them what I am feeling. But I want to carry the burden for them.
Thank you again everyone for your support. If I need to talk to any of you, I will.

Hi Pro...I totally understand where you're coming from when you talk about taking the sickness from her....that's such a totally normal feeling, and it tells me how much you love her, and how lucky she is to have you with her. If & when it is her time to go, you'll be ready to let her go, it will be really hard, but you will be able to do it, because you won't want her to suffer. The day that my Mom passed away, I had to tell her that it was ok for her to leave us and go be with my Dad, her Mom, and any other loved ones. I told her that we (my brother, my husband and kids) would all take care of eachother, and that she didn't have to worry about us. I told her how much we loved her, and would miss her, but that we would love and care for eachother. I really believed she needed to hear that because she just kept hanging on. My Mom died a few hours later with me holding her hand. It was so extremely hard for me to let her go, but it was also a relief in a way, because I knew that she would never suffer again. Be good and take care of yourself. I'm here if you need.
Oh, Pro... I'm just now finding this thread and am so sorry for what you and your family is going through. Consider us your extended family who's by your side through this time. Nothing we say can make it go away, but hopefully knowing you have such a circle of friends who care can help ease the pain. Hang onto your faith. And keep yourself well...
