Lelask,

I am so sorry to hear about that and I am keeping you and your mom in my thoughts. It is very difficult. I lost my dad to cancer, when I was very young, and he was just 37 yo.

I thought to mention something that might help you to relate to how your mom feel, and consequently may be you will be able to find an approach which can help to encourage her. There is no universal solution though...

Fear of cancer can be debilitating, finding out about cancer can be such a shock, that some people become simply frozen with it.. They are afraid to try fighting it for the fear that it would not work out. Understanding this, can help to relate to your mom, showing her that you know how she might feel and that it is OK, and she does not need to be strong, it is ok  to be weak. It can help her to relax and be able to try fighting with renewed determination.

I just wanted to share this from personal observation and experience.

My thoughts are with you and I really really hope she would feel better and tings would turn for the better for all of you!

I am very sorry to hear about your mother’s cancer. It is difficult to know what to say to make you feel better.  I am very aware of the emotions that you are experiencing because I have recently lost my father to colon cancer.  I was not able to accept the possibility that my father would not recover and wish that I had not avoided meaningful conversations. There are so many things that I wish I had done differently.

My biggest regret is not saying all that I wanted to say. I hope that your mother makes a full recovery and send you my best wishes. Please tell your mother what she means to you, that you love her.

Chris.

Hi Lelask,

My heart goes out to you in this season of great testing. I lost my dad a few years ago, and can only imagine what you are going through at this time. I have no input regarding your question, but want you to know that I am praying for your mother for healing, and you and your family for peace and strength at this time. So much love and positive energy xx

lelask, I'm so sorry to read this. My condolences to you and your relatives. I think it's a time to be even more stronger, but it is also a time to think about it how to lead with it. I'm sure God will be with you in this path. I'm sure also that here in this community you will always find support at any time.

Oh, Rena, I am crying with you.  I am so sorry for you and your family.  May the Lord give you strength to endure this very difficult and sad time.  Please let me know if I can do anything.  You are, of course, in my prayers.  I wish I could hug you now and be with you.

I have quit my work to be with her and yesterday was my first day off work. She so so wanted me to stop working there. I was looking forward to be with her for whatever time she had left. I hoped for months. Last few days were beautiful, we talked a lot, read books and laughted.
I haven´t told my little Saska anything yet.

This is a very hard time for me and my family and thank you for being there for me.

What a nice picture.  I am sure you will treasure it always.  I am happy to hear you enjoyed your last days together.  I am praying for little Saska, I know this will be hard for her.

I cannot even imagine how you are feeling. I am pleased you were able to spend some quality time with your mum before she passed. Those days will be memories you hold in your heart forever. That photo of the two of you is so full of soul. It's a very special picture, that shows your bond very clearly.
Rena I am sending you a maxi hug full of all the love and strength you need to get through this and another hug to wrap about Your beautiful girl when you break the sad new to her. Thinking of you.
