Been Gone....
My Mother was diagnosed with Cancer and it has spread through her
kidney, liver, lymph nodes and spine... so I've been torn up for the last few weeks... Got a call today and the Social Worker at the hospital is suggesting Hospice. She was a CPA and handled all my accounting and bookwork at my printing/design business. So I'm completely lost in every aspect of my life at the moment.... It's been a hard few weeks guys.

My thought are with you and the feelings you will be going through in
the future. I lost mother one year ago this week to Alzheimer's, she just forgot to eat and breath. Signing the release to stop force feeding was tough and still tugs at me but it was the only way left to us. Hang in there, it is all a part of this great life we live.

He was able to pass in his own bed surrounded by family. Hard but best for all of us.............. brian |

The kind of stuff you read in tragic > novels :-/ > Welcome back Ric, Knowing that there's a goodbye around the corner is a tough circumstance. Hospice is a tough call. I think the biggest thing is to support your Mother's desires and wishes in the matter. May you do well through all of what's ahead. Hope you can find a place that's close yet not too subject to hurricane evacuation. -- PJ |

So I'm completely lost in > every aspect of my life at the moment.... > > It's been a hard few weeks guys. The kind of stuff you read in tragic > novels :-/ Ric, I am truly sorry to hear of your Mom's diagnosis. Mine died in 1998 after fighting colorectal cancer for years. Radiation, chemotherapy, surgeries including an eventual colostomy...she endured it all. The last six months were awful, the last six weeks she wasn't herself anymore. I just watched the number on the morphine drip climb higher and higher. At least she wasn't in pain. Cancer is a horrible thing. One wonders if the money we've thrown down a rat hole in the Middle East could possibly result in cures or prevention. But that's politics... I wish you and your Mom the best possible time, however much is left. She will need your strength and support and I'm sure she can count on that. I would only remind you that this is the cycle of life, and in some ways is a good order for the world. One of the best things I've ever read is an essay by Lewis Thomas titled "Death in the Open" in his book "The Lives of a Cell." I'd recommend it to anyone struggling with the gigantic issue of life and death. My best, AJM '93 Ruby coupe, 6 sp (both tops) |
