BrianMcFry (OP) User ID: 74612202 United States 10/10/2018 04:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cancer has spread to multiple organs. Further treatment is futile. She's being taken to hospice today to make her last days more comfortable than the ICU which would only prolong the inevitable. She's only 52... I'm the only child... Her parents will outlive their second child, their first born son died not long before I was born, 25 years ago. After helping them through that grief, it looks like I am meant to help them through this grief, also. This will be my first experience losing a close relative. Nothing could have prepared us for this day. Quoting: BrianMcFry You have to be strong. The body dies, her conscious soul remains forever. This has been meant for you to believe this. We are in Special times. Ask the creator for help and you will get it. I don't write this to you because I "believe", I know. Blessings for all the family. I know too, but I refuse to pray, or seek God, or ask Jesus for help. The spirit knows my pain, and if necessary, he will intercede on our behalf. I've been feeding the beast over the last several months, and this just compounds that negativity. Its difficult for me to kneel before the almighty god, and beckon his hand. My shame is too great, my pain too fresh. But what is my pain compared to his, who is long suffering? I was just thinking this morning how I don't want any of his blessings, how i don't want his kingdom... But that could just be this circumstance and the depression that follows it. Look, you are NOT supposed to be making any big decisions when in such a difficult position....none of the least being whether or not you believe in God, or want his blessings. You and your family are going to need all the blessings you can get. This isn't really a time for blame or shame or anything beyond helping your mom pass, whether she was an alcoholic or not. Forgive and forget for the time she has left. I do think you will like yourself better when your older if you do. There will always be time to work through all the feelings you're going to have. You do not need to do that now. Holding your mom's hand is all that's needed from you now, lovey. Word. 135-1197 |
BrianMcFry (OP) User ID: 74612202 United States 10/10/2018 04:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank 'yall for the support; I hurt with her. It hurts to see her struggling, she doesn't have long to live. The cancer has infected her liver, the kidneys, and her spine. Her breast cancer had a resurgence, and she refused to get help the past few weeks/months. It wasn't until she was seriously ill that she made it to the hospital. Thankfully she did, so that we can have these precious, last few moments to share. The memories hurt, the good and the bad, it all hurts and comes in waves. We only just found out yesterday, and because I am her closest living relative, it was put on me to make the choice. It is the right choice. Quoting: BrianMcFry She has a history of alcohol abuse, and I am sure that it has contributed greatly to the condition she is in now. She has had multiple warnings in the past with hospital visits, and now the time has finally come. I feel a certain amount of guilt, but I shouldn't. It was the choices she made, not mine. I just wish this was all a dream, but its not. This is not in any way your fault. Don't allow yourself to go down that road. That said, I know alcohol abuse didn't help her in any way, but when you're dealing with metastatic cancer, she likely would have had this happen whether she was drinking or not. Some things are just unavoidable. Even so, I understand your guilt. I felt it when my dad died. I was constantly asking myself if there was anything I could have done differently. I think it's probably normal to have these thoughts. Just don't let it overwhelm you. Thank you. I just wish we would've had more moments with her. Before this was nothing but drama, and confrontation. She moved away from us with a less than reputable man, and it has caused much strife in our already turbulent family. I wish we couldve sat down and had a meal, just us, like we used to have before the divorce, the foreclosure, and the collapse. Past is past. What has been done cannot be changed. You have right now. That's where we are. Use right now to show your love to your mom. Use right now to be with her. Use right now to see her for what she is, a beautiful flawed human who loves you, regardless of things she has said or done in the past. I'm a mother, so I know she wouldn't want you to be unhappy, especially if it was because of something she did. You should reassure her, and yourself, that your happiness is your choice and your responsibility, not hers, and that you don't hold her accountable for your happiness. We all have good and bad memories with our families. Choose to dwell on the good. Choose to create as much good as you can right now. You're right, and I will do as you've suggested. Thank you 135-1197 |

joeym User ID: 77019562 United States 10/10/2018 04:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have been in your shoes twice..having to make the decision to put them under hospice care for their final days. There is really no comfort to offer because the loss of a parent is terrible. However, hospice is amazingly good dealing with both your parent's pain issues and with the family as a whole. I won't sugarcoat it, the death of a parent is something you never "get over." But, you do find a way to adapt to the new reality and you go on. As time passes, the months of sickness will recede from your memory and only pop up on rare occasions. You will be left with your Mom's memory, her wisdom and her love. That's what sustained me during my darkest time. Have faith that, although your world is now shattered, that you will be ok and your mom will be ok. Let her know that you don't want to hold her back from her journey. Giving a sick parent permission to let go frees them from holding on, at all costs, for the family. Let her know you will be ok. And, in time, you will be ok. |

I just wish this was all a dream, but its not. Quoting: BrianMcFry The guilt and blame lie entirely with the medical establishment and its approach to addiction. While the difference between drinking and not drinking is startling, drinking may be a symptom, not a cause. A good friend of my family is in hospice now. His brother drank and died in his early 60s. He didn't and is now dying in his late 90s. But, without any options for self medication that aren't as toxic as alcohol (like Marijuana), what can people who suffer do? Learn not to suffer. That hasn't been successful yet. Blame the victim? We don't even know how cancer in the early stages can affect people emotionally [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (secure)] [link to scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org (secure)] "Cancer cells might actively release chemicals that can affect our mood, and make us more likely to be depressed" She could've been self medicating the depression which was being caused by cancerous changes all along. Stopping drinking could've slowed it down. But not stopped her mood issues. Please don't feel guilt, this stuff is so complicated. And so very hard to watch, with little effective support. |

Here is a special prayer to pray with your Mother Prayer of Salvation "Heavenly Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey you, and to do your will for the rest of my life. Write my name in the book of Life. Thank you father, In Jesus' name I pray, Amen Mygirl |

There is no “hell” either. It’s a made up word by the Catholics that the Protestants retained in their scripture to some extent. It has been long said that Life on this earth is a school through which every spirit must pass. She’s going home, where there is no suffering, Hate, pain or misery—only Love. Many who have had NDEs have stated that it was so beautiful there and when given the choice they did not want to return — even happy young people with children who were forced to return against their “will”. Not their time yet. And they have a Message to share. She may visit you at some point and tell you she’s okay. Last Edited by Yesterday ~ TODAY ~ Tomorrow on 10/10/2018 06:15 PM |
tcs User ID: 9164023 Canada 10/10/2018 06:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A soul may give up its shell but "death" is only something we label a body that no longer houses the essence of what we knew to be that person. Losing a loved one is devastating. We lose something VERY precious to us. We can take comfort in knowing that we too are on the same journey and our time here is very short until we meet again. ____________ "Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world." " Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord." ~ Jer. 17:5 "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" |
