Mom won't make it to Mother's Day.

Mom is at Hospice.

The doctor said today that she has 1 to 3 days left.

It is pouring rain right now.

How can I live without my mom?  I need her.

I can't stand to see her like this.

Lung cancer is HORRIBLE.  If you smoke quit!!!!!  You don't want to die like this.

((Hugs)) I'm so sorry your losing your mother. She gave you enough love and courage to know you will be strong and able to go on in your life. I believe when we love someone they leave footprints across your heart to remind you they were there and they always will be. Your in my thoughts and within my prayers on the smoke during this sad time. (Hugs) Indigo

My heart is with you.  I lost my dad to cancer and I know how devistating it is.  It's so hard to watch a loved one wither from cancer.  I recall the feeling of how it was unimaginable that we could go on without him.  But, you are stonger than you realize.  Your mom will always be part of who you are.  Please know that I am thinking about you and your dad during this difficult time.

May God send her an angel to hold her hand, & guide her swiftly to the other side when it's time.
God bless,

Its an unbearable pain to loose your Mum but you know she would want you to carry on with her in your heart now, and remember her with a smile.  
May she find comfort and peace in her last few days with you here on earth.  She will be with God soon.
God bless you and your family.  May you learn to let her go with a light heart knowing she is suffering no more.
Prayers being said for you all.
May Eternal Light shine Upon Her
And May She Rest In Peace......Amen.

Oh Kathy...I'm so very very sorry.  I can only imagine what you are going through.  Cancer of any kind is a horrible disease.  My Father died of cancer, so I know what you mean when you say that you hate seeing her like this.  Honey, I am praying for you.  May God give you the strength and the peace that you will need in the days ahead.
Love,
Connie
