trying to cope

I can't make it better for any of us, but HUGS HUGS and more HUGS!!!!!!!!! Try to stay strong and rest when you feel weak, you mom more than understands and I'm sure feels the way you do. Spend time with her in anyway you can, there is strength in numbers :)

First of all, I'm so, so very sorry for the timing of all of this.

There are no answers as to the why of it all, Roxy. Please don't torture yourself with questions that have no earthly answers.

Call your Mom often if she's able to take phone calls. Make her little things at home and have another family member get it to her. Send her cards and emails too and just realize that for whatever reason, this is how it has to be.


No one can answer why. What we do know is that if you don't take care of yourself now, you will get much, much worse. You are already under too much stress, and you don't need to stop trying to heal yourself at this point.

(((((((HUGS))))))) And know that we are here for you too - just keep on caring for yourself at this time as well - please.

I can tell you that i try very hard. I go and visit, help bathe her, take her things she enjoys. But i dont feel good, i feel im not doing enough due to my condition. I have nerve pain 24/7.

I want to thank everyone here, for helping me understand that i will have good days and bad days. Thank you for making it better when im down.
