only days left with my mom

[Tylers Nana]

Hello everyone,

We just received word that my mom (and my best friend) only has days left to be with us. It is a very sad time for us. We knew this day was coming but I guess we are never prepared for someone we love to leave us. We lost my dad (my hero) 1 1/2 yrs. ago and are still trying to deal with the loss of our father. This is a very difficult time for my brother, sister and myself. It has been very difficult for us to watch as our parents have gone thru so much after their accident two years ago. We were very fortunate to have such loving parents but oh how it hurts when they leave us. :(

My brother, sister, and myself have been thru the loss of a brother, father, and now our mother. We have held close to each other and have made it thru with love and a lot of prayer. We also have very supportive spouses.

I would appreciate your prayers for us in these difficult days ahead. I know many of you have been down this path in life and understand the pain. The pain is so very deep!

Thank you for listening,
Janice

I am so truely sorry for you at this time. I lost my dad, my hero also 7yrs ago and it still seems like yesterday. I keep wishing and always will be that he would walk through the door and call me BJ again, my mother also has less than a year to live due to kidney failure, I just found out not long ago. She is also my best friend and has been my whole life. I am crying for you right now as I can feel the same pain. No words can make it any easier. But if you ever need to just have someone to listen, you can email me anytime. I will put you and your brother and sister and mother in my prayers tonight. Make the most of every moment left as this is so final. Many hugs and prayers sending your way.

With deepest felt sympathy,

Betty

Janice,

There are no words that can express the kind of pain you are feeling now. Nor are there words that can soothe that pain. I lost my father many years ago when I was just a teen. I still feel that loss.

I will keep you and your family in my prayers and thoughts. I am so very glad you have your sister and brother. The three of you must be an enormous source of strength for each other.

I want to thank all of you so much. Your kind words and understanding means more than I can express.

There are times when I feel numb and other times I feel like I have no idea how I can move forward let alone breath! I know we will get thru this but at times it is hard to imagine how. I sat in the dressing room this afternoon crying as I was trying on outfits for my mom's funeral which will likely be sometime in the next two weeks. It helps to know I can come here and release some of my sadness. Thank you again so much for your kind words and prayers. It means so much.

Hi Janice :hugbetter:
I am so sorry to hear of your impending loss. You and your family will be in my thought. I too lost my bestfriend (nan) 3 years ago and I know how painfull it is and how deep it runs. There are days when I still cry because she is not around but I am so thankful for the time we did have and cherish those memories as those cannot be taken away.

Love and hugs to you look after yourself.

Thank you Dawn for your kind words. It does hurt and it feels like they take a piece of our hearts with them. We do have to remember all the wonderful times and hang on to those memories forever.

I am leaving tomorrow morning to make the drive back to my hometown where my mom is. It is a seven hour drive and will seem much longer I am sure. They said we will have about a week or two with her before she passes but only God knows that for sure. I hope I can help keep her as comfortable as possible. We do have hospice to help with her pain management. How my heart breaks for her! How I wish I could hear her speak to me just one more time telling me she loves me. How will I ever get thru this? One moment at a time I guess. Thank you for letting me "again" express my sadness. I guess I needed to get it out and unload my stress and heartbreak.

Thank you,
Janice

I am sure that your Mum knows when you are with her and that she does love you. I'm sure that she can hear you as well. If your Mum could communicate she would tell you that she loved you, you can tell her that you love her cos I am sure she will be able to hear you. I lost my Mum nearly three years ago, I still cry. She had an aneurysm in the brain and was 'unconcious' when I got to the hospital. I KNOW she could still hear me and I feel that she loved me. I really feel your pain and I will be thinking of you and your family. It is very hard to lose someone you love.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers

Dear Janice,
I am so very sorry to hear of this sad news honey. I can only imagine how you must be feeling at this time. The docs were preparing me 4 years ago to lose my mom, but she fooled them! I will never forget how I felt though.
Thankfully she is still with me in her 83rd year. I have lost my dad and my brother.

Please know that your mom, you and your family are on my prayer list :love:

Take care of yourself sweetie :flowers:

Janice I want to add my huggss and to say I am sorry your feeling this.. lost my Mum 2 years ago and yet she is still with me....she was 90 years old..bless her and just a ray of sunshine till the end... at this time I am thinking of you and yours and praying that you will find peace.. my peace came when I rushed from the Midde east back to Cornwall england an 8 hour flight then a 5 hour car drive.. to be with her before she passed... they told me she was waiting for me.. but I am never sure if I ever believed that.. but....I got there and went to her i am sure she saw me.. I told her I loved her that God did too and as now waitng for her.. and that she brought all 7 of us up and we loved her and she should be proud of the work she did.. oh heck i even sang songs to her that I used to sing as a child.. then I told her i had to go rest but if she was not here when i came back it was all ok... that she must go if she neded too and that i loved her....went back to my hotel.. was getting into bed and yes the phone call came.. she had passed....Mum never spoke to me before she died but her eyes did... Janice when u go to see her lok deep into her eyes.. she will be there... all my love... Smiley xx

Janice ,
I am so sorry you have to go through such a bad time... I sure do know how you feel.... It wasn't that many years ago I went through the same thing.... We lost three parents in five years... my father had died before this... Both my husband and I felt we were too young to be orphans....
It is wonderful that you are close to your family... You will help each other get through this.... Just lean on each other... And remember in time it will get easier... It takes a while for the heart to heal though.... So give yourself time and let yourself go through the pain and talk to people... I am telling you it helps... dont let things bottle up inside of you... My prayers are for you and your family....

Love Penny

Janice,
I just wanted to add a note that my prayers are with you. :love:

[Tylers Nana]

I want to thank everyone for your kind words, thoughts, and prayers. I just got home last evening. We had my mom's funeral on Monday. It is so hard to lose a parent no matter what age we are. I lost my hero and best friend (dad and mom) with in two years. Sometimes you think you can't make it without them but I know so many others have benn down this path in life and surrive. I do have the peace in knowing neither one is suffering any longer.

On the brighter side of things there is going to be new life in our family again. I just found out I am going to be a "nana" again! I guess we try to focus on the positive side of things in our lives and we will get thru these difficult times.

Thank you all again so much for letting me express my sadness.
Janice

I wish you love & comfort for the days to come and my the Lord be with you & your family.... :flowers:

Janice,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I have lost alot of family and friends. I know that they are in a better place and out of pain.

No words could console me at that time so I will not try the words on you.

You and your family are in my prayers

Thank you everyone for all your kind words and prayers. I know so many of you know the pain and heartbreak one goes thru when you lose a loved one. I miss my mom and dad so much. Sometimes the pain is almost unbearable but I know I will get thru this. My husband has been a termendous source of strength. I can't begin to express how much all of you have helped as well. Thank you so much.

Love to all of you,
Janice
