I had the family sure, but it was my own little nest's members that I gave priority to. We do all cope in our way. You vent away, girl. Ain't nothing wrong in that!

I went through with my mom exactly what you are going through and I am so sorry but now keeping her comfortable is the important thing to do. Hang in there my sweet friend. We are here for you always.<br />Hugs,<br />Odie<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920831144240024660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585058982589515766.post-75847301812283296562012-11-08T19:09:15.349-05:002012-11-08T19:09:15.349-05:00This is something I know a little bit about. The ...This is something I know a little bit about. The truth is you need to do whatever it is that helps you get through it. Be strong when you can be but don't feel like you have to be the strong one. Even the strong ones break now and then and if you're not naturally that person, the break is going to be worse. <br /><br />Be there for your family but be there for yourself as well. <br /><br />I wish with all my heart that I neither had this advice to give nor anyone that needed it. Sometimes life sucks.

I hope MMB's pain can be controlled so she can have some peace, and I wish peace for you as well. stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585058982589515766.post-37022437135284805172012-11-08T18:39:03.321-05:002012-11-08T18:39:03.321-05:00Oh, I'm so sorry.

You can all support one another as much as possible, but you also have a right to focus on your own grief. <br /><br />I lost my mom to a terminal disease when she was in her 50's. It's unfair and it's excruciating. You will get through it, of course, but it's not an easy road, and I'm sorry you are having to go through it.

I'll bet that there are some wonderful stories about Mama MB that you've yet to hear! :) <br /><br />xoxobeaBeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886227825064266814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585058982589515766.post-55595003491381323102012-11-08T11:40:49.275-05:002012-11-08T11:40:49.275-05:00You have your pain, don't shut that out. As lo...You have your pain, don't shut that out. As long as you don't forget that everyone else has their pain that they are dealing with, you are not selfish. This is what family is for. When my Granddad was put on comfort care, we were all there for each other. We cried and laughed at memories. It was one of the hardest times I went through emotionally, but I had my family there and they were going through the same thing. Each person has their own memories and life story with Mama MB. Share those memories and lean on each other. I'm sorry you are going through this. Sending bloggy hugs your way.J.Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211819677106829508noreply@blogger.com
