Thank you all but the time has come to say goodbye

The time has come for me to say goodbye to all you wonderful ladies , you are all true warriors and I thank you for all your wisdom and support , I pray and hope all of you live long lives and beat this terrible disease , I for one have let this disease beat me and I don’t even have it , my anxiety and depression are off the charts and I have deleted everything that reminds me of moms cancer , she will be discharged to home hospice today , she was in the hospital the last 5 days for a huge bowel burden they cannot help because of the opioids , she will come home and just have pain management, I was afraid this day would come and thought I would have more to say but I came up short ….. I love you all

    Love You Back!

    I can't find the words either. My mom died from Alzheimer's just after turning 60 when I was 35. It's just too young and robs the entire family of its heart. We still need our mom's wisdom and presence while raising our children. That this cancer tends to strike around the time we reach menopause seems like such cruel timing because we still have so much to do and have earned the right to enjoy the rewards of our life's labor. We all mourn your loss with you and understand your need to have some distance. God bless you and grant you peace as you walk through this awful time.

    Please consider getting some counseling during the next phase of this awful disease. You are rightfully hurting and having someone to help guide you through may be helpful.

    Take care of yourself and your family.

    Love and Hugs,

    You have been such a loving son to your mother.  You have been a blessing to her and I hope you feel comfort from that.  Words cannot express this that you are going through.  Just know that we care deeply.   I pray for your Mother's comfort

    Praying that God gives you peace

    Hi Billy, 

    Praying that God gives you supernatural peace, courage and wisdom in this time of trial. I lost my own Mom at 5 and I miss her with all my heart still. I too have MMMT 4b and am starting to have bowel issue. I am looking at a similar road in the future. I cannot thank you enough for your insights and candor regarding your Mom's health issues. You gave me so many answers to questions, I did not even know to ask... 

    Your Mom was lucky to have a son, so loving, and engaging as you....

    Know that God is holding you and your family in his arms right now...even if it does not seem like it.

    I’m so sorry

    I am so sorry that your mom is dying, it is traumatic to watch a parent or sibling die from cancer. You and your mom are in my prayers.
