I am glad that you have gotten to spend this time with your mom. You must know how much it meant to her - to have you there helping her and being there for her. It is so hard to hear she is close to the end- but rather the beginning of the next phase. That is how my Mom talks about her diagnosis. I am not sure any of us are ever 'ready' for that next phase, but it is good that she will not be in pain anymore.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers in this very difficult time.

So sorry
Oh, Marc.
I'm so sorry this time has come for you and your family. You have been such a rock for your mom, and she's been so strong in her fight against this beast. I was so hoping things would turn out differently.
You are so right about cherishing people sooner rather than later. No one knows how much time we have here on earth, so we need to make the most of it and especially need to make time with our loved ones good.
My prayers will be with you, and I hope you will come back and chat with us.
*hugs*

Mark, so sorry about your Mom...I can truly relate to your feelings as I recently lost my mom 2 weeks ago. She, too, fought a courageous six year battle, but no longer suffering from the horrid effects of this awful disease. I pray you find peace during this difficult time. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you

You have been a tower of strength for your mom, and I'm sure she knows and appreciates everything you have done for her.
I'm so sorry it's come to that time, all I know is that it's important your with her, as I remember I was there with my mum. It's a horrible thing to go through, but you feel deep down some where that they have gone while you were with them (I know some people don't get that chance)
Please keep checking in with us, because I feel it will be important for you to let us know how you are doing.
Big hugs to uou

my mom passed away at 3pm yesterday
Before i dissappear from these message boards, i would just like to comment on how strong my mom was. My mom technically lost her battle two days ago at 2pm, but she miraculously woke up and was able to speak and laugh with my other family members for another 3 hrs...then it got harder and harder for her to breathe....she was in a 100% oxygen for the next 17 hrs, just waiting on my brother who was flying from Virginia, and he got here at around 2pm yesterday. He had about an hr with her and us praying around her, until we all decided to take her out of life support, which is one of her wishes when she was able. She was asked this question just three days ago but it still surreal that it just happened. SO my mom is gone, but i know she will live on forever. Thank you all for the support and i definitely wish each and everyone one of u, whetehr u are a caregiver or a patient/survivor yourself, to not give up as my mom didnt. The last few words she uttered was "i am tired" but before that, she was mentioning, "i want to get ready to go home" which means all this time during her hardship, she just wants to get better. Take care everyone - MARC0 -

how strong your mom was till the end, I am so in tears here, and know she is in a much better place, I remember when you both came to these boards, and when she was even starting to feel normal alittle, and going out, this happened to her so quick, and I'm so sorry for this, I feel horrible for you and her and wish you both had more time together. I will miss you and her and hope your life goes on for the best, you were a wonderful caretaker and she loved you so much, she is still all around you, and you can tell she was ready to go "home" where there is no pain, my prayers are with the both of you, if I can stop blubbering, I do hope you stop and say hi to us still Marc, and let us know how you're doing, again, I'm so sorry for her, this was too quick.
Hugssssss!

I'm not going anywhere, might visit less frequently, but these message boards are littered by my questions for the last 4 months so its nice to see my own post once in a while to remind me of my mom, and also why my mom is in a better place...i never realized how much suffering she experienced over the last 4 months, esp. with my questions on pain, so this means that she is in a better place cuz there is no pain there....on the flip side, thre is a lot of hope out there and everyone keep on fighting because there is a lot to live for.0 -

Marc,
I'm so very sorry about your mom. I know it's a bite. But what a blessing that you had those few bonus hours when she was able to talk to the family and share more precious moments. I'm sure you will treasure that time forever.
Please come by and let us know how you are. I'll be praying for you.
*hugs*

take care Marc
Oh, Marc-
Even though you said it was happening, I'm still sad for you to hear she did actually pass on.
I've heard of stories of others too who got to rally before their death so they were coherent to visit with family members before finally dying. I'm glad you and the family at least got that time with her.
You take care and take time for yourself. As a grieving son, you will go through different stages over time- so allow yourself that.
Blessings to you,

I am so sorry about the loss of your mother. Please know that your mom would want the best for you and for you to continue on every day putting your best foot forward and honoring her by your success in life and kindness to others.
I have a special prayer which I keep near me which has been a great comfort to me. I hope it is a comfort to you too.

In Memory Of a Mother
“ I remember thee in this solemn hour, my dear mother. I remember the days when thou didst dwell on Earth and thy tender love watched over me like a guardian angel. Thou hast gone from me, but the bond which unites our souls can never be severed; thine image lives within my heart. May the merciful Father reward the for the faithfulness and kindness thou has ever shown me; may he lift up the light of his countenance upon thee, and grant thee eternal peace. Amen.”0
