[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I say this kindly, OP. You're going to have to toughen up. Your dear mother is going to get worse, and you'll have to be the person everyone relies on to figure things out.

Wishing you lots of strength in your ordeal.[/quote]

I’ve buried a sibling, done vigils at bedsides of another parent and two grandparents. Two of them had long, slow pathways to death.

I say this kindly. You need to develop empathy. [/quote]

You misunderstand. I have lots of sympathy, given my parents are going the same way. But it doesn't help to melt down in a puddle of tears. It's going to get worse before it gets over, so my advice to myself, and to OP, is to soldier on. [/quote]

What is wrong with crying? Why is "wrong" to have emotions. If she wants to cry over the situation, that is a very healthy reaction to something she is experiencing. You do not understand what she is going through. I applaud her for realizing what her needs are during this very difficult time. Tears are a very appropriate response to stress. [/quote]
