tank, sorry to hear that my friend. God bless you and your family.
My own mom is living with a rare terminal disease called Wegener's. She's had it for 10 years. Sometimes she's totally fine for a year or two, and then gets wiped out...basically what happens w/ Wegener's is one's immune system goes haywire and starts attacking healthy parts of the body. It can manifest itself anywhere and look like a myriad other problems. Eventually it will kill her; it's not a matter of if, but rather when.
I just hope she has enough time to get to know her first grandson. At this point she's OK but you never know.

sorry for your loss Bart. I know you knew it was coming, but still, doesn't make it any easier. You know you've got a friend a short train ride away to get shit-faced with anytime you feel like it :)

The first time my mom came to have lunch with me at work, my boss was in awe of how beautiful she was; not just because of her looks but because of her smile, it radiates peace and joy. She has really come to terms with her sickness through the grace of God. It's incredible to see how much she enjoys the simple things in life.
A couple weeks ago, my dad turned 60. It was a Monday, his day off. He and my mom had breakfast together under their covered porch, which overlooks a state park. It started raining as the drank their coffee, and the air was perfect. They sat out there and just talked for a while. My mom told my dad that was God's little gift to him on his birthday. It makes me smile to think of those two old lovebirds taking it all in.

I watched as my grandmother slowly became the child that I must have once been to her, and all I wished was that I could take care of her the same way she took care of me. On the day she died, I spoke to her, thanked her for being her, and thanked her for my father. I told her I now saw her as my grandmother, but more importantly as my father's mother. I can only imagine what you're going through, and I wish you only the best.

Really sorry to hear your sad news. I can't imagine what you're feeling right now. I've read some of your other posts leading up to this and I think you've coped amazingly
My mum's been through two different cancers, in fact she's in hospital overnight today having a checkup, but I don't think I can imagine her not being around anymore.
Know that with your status here you'll always be able to talk to people about how you're coping.

:'( that's awful man, i imagine she was well fit when she was younger.
i had a go at my mum for getting arthritis, last night. As if it's her fault, hehe, but i was shouting at her for taking her health for granted and that i used to warn her about her health and that she needed to do more active things to keep fit, but she never listened. she's almost 60 and well, i can see her struggling in old age already and it makes me concerned sad etc... ,through all the bullshit, you dont want 'em suffering do you? :'(
did your mum believe in re-incarnation? if she did, maybe she came back as something really cool, like a Jaguar in Guyana.. that would be cool huh? But reincarnation isn't really true, so i prolly doubt it.
also, my granny's dying, but that don't really bother me too much, even tho we do have a loving relationship, still, old people are meant to die, and well granny was always old and decrepit. But i don't like that shit happening to my mum cos she was so strong and nurturing and i remember her still being pretty. Like i wunt be fussed with grandparents going but the thought of mum...*sniff*

Sorry to hear of your loss. My mom died 2 years ago and I still think about her every day. It definitely brought the family closer. I think we all realized how precious life is.
