Bad News

pearlpro · Jun 24, 2014

I took my Mom to the Hospital after she had a fall in the yard while working to pull some Kudzu off her house, she was found to have Fluid in her lungs, and after removing it, was told she had a Cancer....after more tests and a Pet Scan and Biopsy she was told she has Stage four Lung Cancer, Inoperable, Uncurable.....short time to go, maybe 6 months....

Freinds Ive heard bad news but that wasnt what we were prepared to hear...My Moms 90, lived a great life and shes not scared...But If I said I wasnt Id be lying...

Now were enrolling her in Hospice care, she wants to go at home, in her bed, and right now shes got some good days left.....I plan to do whatever I can to care of her and make those days the best....

I ask for your prayer, that youll hold us up to God, and ask for a Cure, a Healing...and may her last days be without suffering....Im braced for the worst....and Im staying home to take care of here as long as it takes.

My Mom faced the worst this Nation could throw at her Generation, The Greatest Generation, shes a brave woman and she inspires me to Live every day, we just dont have any guarantee how long anything will last....Thanks in Advance for your Prayers.

Lost my mother to brain cancer in her early 60's.
You can't ever be prepared for it.
It'll be hard on the family.
God Bless you all.

Letting go is one of the hardest things we ever have to do, and you're doing it the best way you can. I hope the remaining time you have is blessed with peace and tranquility and love.

Very well said. I must add that during this time the flood gate of emoations is the hardest part to deal with. We joked around about that it was like being bipoler on speed.

Thank you. You're right: it's like a roller coaster, up, down, upside down - it's like normal time doesn't apply, when you're grieving.
I almost added laughter to the original comment, but thought it might seem odd - but what seems odd to me is leaving such a wonderful part of life out of the end of it. I can't imagine celebrating life without including laughter, myself.
So, this: peace, tranquility, love, and laughter.
