[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in early january. Chemo ravaged her, so after just one cycle, she's at home in hospice care. I am extremely close to my mother. My brother and dad live with her. I live across the country in dc with my family. This last week has been brutal. She has not eaten or even had nutritional drinks- only water snd sometimes pedialyte mixd in. She has diarrea constanyly, though we can walk her to the toilet. She has her mind in tact and can communicate. But it's notgoing to be gor very long. I sm here without my husband snd young children. Please help me see that things will get better. If not for my mom, then sonehow. Sorry not articulste.[/quote]

Your mom will not get better, but you can have closure once you accept that she is leaving this green earth.  You can have closure by spending time with her, and telling her funny stories and things you fondly recall from your upbringing.  Tell her what a great job she did, and why. You are not alone, OP.  I just lost one of my parents, and previously lost the other one.  It is painful.  It will always hurt, just less and less, over time.  I remember saying that I want time to ass quickly, so the pain will lessen.  It does. Try to let go with a full heart.  Surround yourself with positive - this is very, very important. Surround yourself with people who love you - friends and family who see things your way (not nasty people, obviously - we all know one or two people like that) I wish you peace.  [/quote]
