Depressing post ahead.
I'm finally in FL with my mom. My amazing DH is hanging with Sam so I can be with her.
It is not good. I'm so mad at the world right now - I feel like disaster is at every corner. She is pretty aware of her situation, which is grim. I've cleaned my mom's butt - and creamed her sore butt - many times in the last few days and for the first time in my life I understand motherhood. She is so much to me. I have no idea who I will talk to everyday and who will love me like my mom does. I cannot stop crying. I cannot stop thinking some miracle will reverse her brain cancer and make her walk and talk again. What's weird is I dont feel like talking to my best friends. I'm so angry. She is a huge force in my life and I feel guilty for being able to walk and talk and laugh.
Sorry - I know, very very depressing post. I'm looking forward to us all coming to the hospital and having dinner with her.
Re: Hanging with my mom in the hospital
I have no words either. I'm so sorry for you and your family.
I also have had three friends lose their moms to brain cancer this year. Sad coincidence.

I am so, so very sorry.
It's not enough, but (((hugs)))
Thank you for the kind words. Thanks so much, ghm. And Auntie - you hit the nail on the head - it made me cry, but it is exactly right.
(((HUGS)))
I'm so very sorry. I felt the same feeling when I was losing my mom, almost 6 years ago). I was seven months pregnant with my first and climbed up in the hospital bed with her many days. I just kept saying over and over that she still has too much to teach me.
Tell her everything you think you want to say. Hug her as much as possible.
I wish you all peace and strength.
