    Hospice nurse was here
    Hospice nurse was here yesterday, I asked her how long she thought she may have and she said 3-4 weeks. How am I going to let her go???
    She came into the kitchen today and I just lost it crying, we hugged and I told her I am going to miss her so much but I told her I would be ok and that I love her so much.

    I pray for comfort for her. I am so sad. As I was holding her I told her that the lymph nodes in her neck are so big she said I know. Dear god she has suffered enough.
    She said Tracy I will always be with you.

    Sending you prayers and
    Sending you prayers and strength!

    TRABAT - In My Prayers
    You and your sister are both in my heart and prayers. The hardest part of loving someone is letting them go, no matter the cause. I pray your heart will be soothed knowing you have done everything you can and valuing your time together.

    well the nurse and chaplain
    well the nurse and chaplain were here today... they give my sister a couple days. She said she is ready to go to heaven and she is tired. She is at peace with herself and comfortable. Thanks everyone for all your thoughtfulness. I am going to miss her.

    I'm so sorry.
    I know how hard these last days will be. I'm glad that she is ready, that's very important. All you can do is give her the love she needs right now. I massaged my sister's feet, used lotion on her legs and arms and hands and gently moved them to try to keep her comfortable. PRAYERs and KISSES!

    I love my sister so. She
    I love my sister so. She was the hardest to tell about my cancer as we were both at the hospital holding mom's hand when she died of lung cancer after her long fight through breast cancers. Bless you both.

    So Sorry
    My husband had a massive heart attack in 2000. He said that he went to a really tranquil place and really did not want to come back but it was not his time. He is still here with us and hopefully will be for a long while. Don't know if this will help or not but now he always says "Dieing is easy, It's the Living that is hard." I know your sister will be at peace and in a better place when it is her time to go.

    Sending hugs and prayers for you.

    He is fine now
    My husband's heart attack was in 2000. He is doing fine now. Runs about 4 miles on the treadmill almost every day. I watch everything he eats and his doctor watches every thing else.

    Thanks for the prayers.

    Hugs

    I've been following your journey with your sister. You are lucky to have each other. I don't know how it is to loose a sister to cancer. Thank god my sister is a 2 time breast cancer survivor. I do know how it is to loose a mother to breast cancer. It was over 10 years ago---it still hurts and I still miss her. But, I can now take pleasure in the memories and enjoy talking about our lives together. I am so glad you are able to have this time together. There is some peace in helping her find peace and comfort.

    Bless you both, you'll be in my prayers.

    Hugs, El

    I pray for both of you
    May God give you both the comfort and peace you need to get through this most difficult time in both your lives. Sisters are sisters forever. You cannot be separated...you watch over her now and she will watch over you until you meet again. My heart aches for both of you. Love is forever. I learned it the hard and painful way, but love IS forever in this universe.
