HI Ladies!

A while back my mom requested me to be on this board with you all. So when she did come to the point where she couldnt post, I would be able to keep you all updated. I know you all have other virtual resources but thought I would just come here.

My mom has been a great teal fighter like many of you! What an inspiration to us all. My mom has had this dreadful disease now for 4 years. Her spirits have been high, a true fighter. She has told me alot about this board and how she loved coming here for comfort and support. She has made many friends! Thanks.

I know sometimes the downer posts can make you feel like there is no hope. But there is hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. He is our strength and comfort.

I felt the need to come here tonight and let you all know my mom is now in hospice. Not to get you all down but for support and prayers. I know she appreciates you ALL!

You ladies are a very strong group of gals! I come here from time to time and read your updates! Keep fighting! :)

May God keep ALL of you in his loving arms!

    So Sorry
    jepsj5,
    I know your mother through another board, I believe, and I really respect her courage and persistance with this disease. She was planning a fishing trip a few weeks ago, was she not? I hope she got to go. I am very sad to hear this news. Your mother is a very special lady.
    My prayers are with you and your family.

    Hello
    Thank you for keeping us looped in. Libby seems like a such a strong, kind, compassionate person. I Could tell from her posts that she has amazing faith in God, her family and friends. I never sensed any fear or anger in any of her posts. You are blessed to have her as a mother. Will be keeping her(and all of you) in my thoughts and prayers.

    THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE
    But I am so sorry to hear that your dear mother is in hospice. She is a true fighter and an inspiration to all. Equally important, is that your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ is paramount through all of this, and it blesses me to know that you and your mom will have the hope and comfort only He can provide.

    My prayers will continue for all of you. Sending love and hugs as well.

    God Bless.

    God Bless Your Mother
    I remember when your mother and mine entered the same trial...she was number 18 and my Mom number 23 I think......My prayers are with you and your Mom right now.....Having been through this, all I can say to you is to just be there with her. I had some seriously profound, life changing interactions with my Mom when she was in hospice.....she gave me some of the greatest gifts of my life during that time. Please send her my best. Take care of yourself. Sincerely, Lisa
