Haven't cried so much in 11 years. That's when my father died. Palliative care home called me. She has hours to live. Maybe days if we're lucky. Generalized cancer can fuck off. I need some positivity people. Help me.
She was the best mom I could ever wish for. She was a jester through and through. Always making people laugh. God I love her so much.Can you tell us some of your favorite memories of your mom? What was she like when you were a kid?
She ever roast you in front of your pals?She was the best mom I could ever wish for. She was a jester through and through. Always making people laugh. God I love her so much.
Never.
My condolences to you and your family.My dad beat cancer twice within the last 15 years but today we had to say goodbye to him anyway. COVID19 can fuck off. I feel you man, I am totally devastated, same as my sister and my mum.
My sister said something beautiful to me today: Grief first feels like a rock that is suffocating you, then you chip it away bit by bit over time. And in the end you put the last small piece into your pocket and keep it there for the rest of your life.
Stay strong and cherish every moment you had with her.
Any recent examples? I'm very sorry for what you're going through, OP.
Lol the good ones do at some point.
Recent no. She's been sick for 5 years. But she used to bring treats and more when I was in preschool. She'd jump up and down in the windows, when it was time to take me home.Any recent examples? I'm very sorry for what you're going through, OP.
Thank you.I'm so sorry. The worse the hurt, the greater the love, so it sounds like you have a pretty incredible family. I'm sure your mom is as proud of you for getting through this as you are of her.
This is beautiful. Lost a close relative this year. Very true.My dad beat cancer twice within the last 15 years but today we had to say goodbye to him anyway. COVID19 can fuck off. I feel you man, I am totally devastated, same as my sister and my mum.

Lol I can imagine it now. She seems like a lovely lady.Recent no. She's been sick for 5 years. But she used to bring treats and more when I was in preschool. She'd jump up and down in the windows, when it was time to take me home.
My sincere condolences. I'll keep you in my thoughts.I lost my mom about a month ago. She had cancer for a while, but it progressed super quick and it turned out it had spread to places we didn't expect. Just a few weeks before she was told that she had another 6 months to a year with no treatment, and longer with treatment.
My biggest wave of grief was when I realized she had weeks, at most, to live. It ended up being less than 1 week. I was upset when she died of course, but that first call learning that she would never walk again (cancer in her bones had paralyzed her), that she would never return home, that she didn't have much time left... I was destroyed that day. I was losing sleep thinking about the pain, physical and emotional, she must be in. I was extremely anxious to just see her as much as possible (I was luckily able to facetime with her a bunch of times and visit 3 times in that last week).
When she was gone, I felt a sense of relief that her suffering was over. And it's funny how your perspective changes. I'm in my 30s and have been fairly close to her my whole life, but now I'm thinking I never really got to know her. Over the past couple of years I had been seeing her more, and in particular it was great to see her spend time with my son (who's just a toddler). But now it feels like she's been ripped away from us, just before things were supposed to get good. She lived alone and didn't have much money, but she was retired now. My sister and my wife and I make pretty good money and wanted to treat her to things she missed out on, like travelling the world and living with more financial security and freedom. Spend time with her grandkids. It's like all the shared struggles we had amounted to... nothing. It's easier knowing she was proud of us and happy with where we were in our lives. But fuck, I wanted to share that with her.
