Mom is dying

Her breast cancer had a resurgence

My mom passed on around that age (54) - also due to complications from breast cancer that had metastasized... Happened suddenly/unexpectedly while I was away at school... Also my first experience having a close family member pass on... I was 20 at the time...

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.

(((( hugs )))))

OP, I really do mean it when I said you can talk to us about it here. Any time you want to update us - we're here.

Father, we pray for Brian McFry's mother, that she be comforted and relieved of all of her pain. If it be Your will, Father, please restore her to perfect health. Reverse her cancer everywhere it is found. May Your will for Her be done today in Yeshua's Holy Name Amen.

Our hearts go out to you Op.

There is nothing you can do now bar keep her as comfortable as possible. Her own pillow would help. Hospital pillows are awful.
You are there with her and that is the biggest blessing to her and you.
Da died of the same he was 57, again too young.

Funny story though, he went around the room telling us that he loved us but he forgot to tell Ma.

Ma piped up "Kerry, I love you too you know"

Da "Sure, why wouldn't ya!"

Funny right up until the end, we all broke our hearts laughing in the room. He died that night.
She was so annoyed it kept her going right through the funeral.

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.

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.

She just passed
