in Caregivers #1

Hi, I guess I'll just tell you how it is.

I'm 23 with a 4 year old, I lost my husband to suicide May 13th 2012. I lost my dad to an accidental overdose April 18th 2008. My mom was diagnosed with Endrometrial cancer about three months ago and has had 3 chemo treatments and a CT scan this past Thursday. The cancer had spread to the lymph nodes in her neck already. It's just me, my daughter, my mom, and my fiance living together and I'm my moms caregiver. I just lost my father-in-law May 13th to liver cancer. Exactly 3 years after losing my husband. I thought I could handle everything and stay strong always but I'm starting to lose it. I'm supposed to be on valium due to extreme anxiety but my prescription got left in the buggy 3 weeks ago on accident and I the side effect of not having it has been extremely bad on me.

My mom is always in pain and it has just gotten worse since this all started. She's on heavy doses of pain meds and they don't help much. I feel helpless. Useless. I don't know what to do anymore...

    I want to put my arms around

    I want to put my arms around you and tell you that you will get throught this.  Don't be afraid to ask for help from a church near your mom. You can try getting in touch with Hospice. They might be able to help with your mom. You and your family will be in my prayers...
