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. The kind of stuff you read in tragic
novels :-/

Do you want polite or do you want sincere?

Been Gone....
 

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.

Sorry, just went through thing with my Father a couple months back. The
Hospice suggestion is a good one. He was able to pass in his own bed
surrounded by family. Hard but best for all of us..............

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.

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,
