An Update on PinkKari09

SIROD

End of Journey

I didn't know your mother but have been reading her story for a few years.  A valiant warrior in a disease that has no mercy.

Wishing you and your family the best as you struggle helping your mother find the peace she earned.  May Kari's journey into the good night be a short one.  

Best,

 

Doris

Overwhelmed

Hello everyone. Sitting next to Mom in hospice and reading all of these comments sends overwhelming joy to me knowing that you were all such good support for her. I knew how much she cared for you guys but I did not understand the extent at which you all supported her and looked up to her. It truly is a blessing. 

Thanks for all of the kind words and thoughts and prayers. Mom is doing well today, very restful, I think we have finally cought up on her medication so that she can relax. Her vital signs this morning are normal, she is just on a little oxygen for comfort, but she seems to be holding on to something. Her eyes are open quite a lot. Not sure what it is she is looking for. 

 

Thanks Again,

KarLee

Dearest KarLee,

Your mother will always carry a special place in all of our hearts, she is one of many warriors on this board who have been a true inspiration to me along my journey. Her jest for life and gung ho attitude brought smiles to my face. Even on some of her hard days she always found the strength to reach out to others. I know I don't need to tell you how much we love and adore her. My love and prayers go out to you, Kari and your entire family... Don't ever second guess what you are doing isn't enough, there is a reason your mother chose you for the role... I pray your mom finds comfort and peace these final days of her earth journey. She's going to make one beautiful angel in the heavens above... God bless and comfort you all during these sad and difficult times.

Hugs,

Lorrie

Dear Karilee, I am so sorry,

Dear Karilee, I am so sorry, I know how hard this is. Your Mom is such a fighter. I hope she will relax for you. Thank you so much for keeping us posted. Even though we have never met your mom, and some pinks have. We Pinks know so much about each other we could really be sister's & brother's. We have traveled your Mom's journey with her and we will be with her until she is finished with it. Tell her we love her and we are right there with her. We are also here for you honey. So anytime now or later, we will be here. Love and Hugs for both.

Dear KarLee,
 
Thank you for

Dear KarLee,

 

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your Mom.  I know that must have been difficult for you, but we do appreciate knowing.  It does make my heart heavy.  Your Mom is truly loved by many here, including me.  Iwish for peace for dear Kari, for you, and for the rest of your family and friends in the coming days.

Miles of love,

Thank You for the Update

KarLee,

Your Mom has been a great inspiration to us all.  I personally do believe you are doing the right thing being her advocate.  It is exactly why she called on you to do it.  You are doing a fantastic thing for her by honoring her wishes.  I can only hope I have someone like you with me at the end.  I pray for her everynight and am sorry she has lost her communication ability with you, that must be hard.  It doesn't surprise me she did all those excursions, it is often called the surge.  Miles of love to both of you.

((hugs))

Dear KarLee...

Thank you, so very much, for keeping us informed about your Mom - our much beloved Kari. Each and every time I've logged on here - have searched for her updates. She has been in my most hopeful thoughts & prayers daily, while also wishing for a miracle...

Your Mom has always been an intensely bright light here, even while she faced utter darkness. Vivacious, smart, with a kind & giving heart. We feel as if we know you, too - and your brother. She loves you both as only a mother can, and is extremely proud of you two. We all know this because she openly shared you with us, making us truly feel like an extended part of her - your - family.

For you & your family, KarLee - I'll now pray for inner strength, peace & comfort as you face the most difficult days ahead. For Kari - I pray she is without pain. Please don't second-guess yourself, dear. This is exactly what your Mom wanted, as she chose for herself. Remember - you are honoring her own personal decisions.

Kari's traditional sign-off - "Miles of Love" - I send back towards her, you & all who know and love her...

With broken heart, Susan

We

all love your Mom Karlee!  Even the times when she would come on and post bad news, she would still say something positive and end it with the "miles of love". She would post encouraging support to anyone on this site that needed it, even though she was having a hard time. 

I thank you for this update and will be praying for Kari.  Please give her a big hug from me and please keep updated.

Dear KarLee

Thank you very much for taking time to update us on your Mom conditions.  it is very hard to accept that her disease has escalated so quickly. You did best for your Mom, making her feel at peace and comfortable. 

My thoughts are with you and your brother, wishing pain free time for my dear friend Kari.

So hard..

It's hard to say what I want to say as I don't want to face the reality here.  Kari has always been an inspiration to everyone here and loved by all. 

I guess I knew from Kari's other posts that this was inevitable, but, I still don't want to believe it.

I am praying for Kari and for her family.  Kari, please know how loved you are by everyone and I mean everyone!

Love you Kari!

Thanks for sharing this

Thanks for sharing this information with us as we've all been asking how Kari is.  Kari talked all of the time on here about how wonderful you and your brother are.  She loved you both so much!

My heart breaks for you two and know that I am sending love and prayers to Kari and to you two.

KarLee sending all the hugs

KarLee sending all the hugs and prayers I can muster up for you and your mom. She is a dynamite woman and I have great admiration for her. She has overcome so much and I'm happy to hear she is restful today. She really ceased the One Day at a Time philosophy and lived her life with courage and valor each day. Please hug her for me. You have one great example for courage and wisdom. Blessings and Hugs going out to you and your family during this diffcult time.

Moms

I am so sorry you are going through this. I was with my Mom in her final days of lung cancer, it was the hardest thing to go through for me and I am sure it is for you as well. I am glad her pain is minimal now. I wish I knew your Mom for a longer time. She was always encouraging to me. ( I also have triple negative bc but I am NED for now). I pray for strength for you, her dear daughter. I know how much she loves you!!

God Bless you!
