  1. I wish I could say or do something to relieve your pain, even for a minute.

    just know that I admire you, and am praying for you and sending hugs.

  2. I have moments of serious craving for a cig, and I quit 5/1/99. half the reason I don't start again is that I don't ever want to go through the HELL of quitting again. the other half is my mom.

    hang in there, girl. you're doing awesome!

  3. val, I relate to the feelings so much. what everyone has said rings true for me - though its normal, I think, that you feel the way you do. I want my mom to feel how much I love her by how perfectly and completely I care for her. thing is, she already does. her friends want to help and I get SO possessive but, after running myself into the GROUND this past week, I have finally stopped feeling threatened by their presence and grateful for the break!

    I can also tell you that I am useless in kitchen, but my mom prefers my company to my godmother's who's like martha stewart!! it's not the DOING we give them, it's who we ARE to them. she is taken care of, don't worry.

    this post is incoherent, I just want you to know that I relate, I HEAR you, I have no doubt in my mind that you are doing right by your mom.

    your friend,

    xoxo

  4. cindy, that's awful. I am so sorry. I agree that the hospital and your lawyers should could have handled things ALOT better. as if you didn't have enough to deal with, sheesh.

  5. I like the idea of integrated medicine, too. my mom is receiving a clinical trial of accupuncture along with her regular pain care. fine needles were implanted in her back pre-surgery, and will be there until we see the doc on Wed. unfortunately, I'm not sure what effect she'll have on the study as we've really struggled to get her pain under control. nevertheless, we were so excited to be a part of furthering the "integration" . more power to you, Jim!

  6. Lucie! I am so happy to hear you're feeling up to all this. what a gift you both are to these couples! you're so committed, and I truly believe it will help you, too, stay healthy and whole.

    love, prayers, and admiration.

  7. oh, dee! you're such a beautiful heart, you have nothing to feel guilty about.

    as for your feelings over claire, cindi's post is so much more eloquent than I can be right now, and 100% right on.

    I know for me, and this may be controversial, but it's my truth, I had to look over the precipice of my mother's possible death from lung cancer in order to be able to pull back and show up for her. I had to confront the worst case scenario FIRST and, in doing so, realize that even under those circumstances she was in god's hands, she would be taken care of, and so would I. only then could I back up a little, look around, say a couple prayers and realize that what matters is that my mom is here TODAY and I have the opportunity to make the rest of her life, however long, better.

    I don't know if that helps, hon. I am thinking of you.

  8. 1. my mom got new pain medication, and FINALLY got some sleep (neurontin, percocet stopped working)

    2. the rain has stopped, just in time for a 4:00 baseball game with a girlfriend

    3. my boyfriend's parents in Ireland, they've truly become family to me

    4. my aunt, grandma, cousins - the best friends I've got!

    5. human resiliance (people on this site, London)

  9. cindi! I am so glad to hear you're feeling and breathing so strong! I will take some of that worry for you, too. you are such a beautiful fighter! keep it up, girl. I have no doubt everything will be all right.

    thanks for being a friend to me here. I wish you didn't have reason to worry, but I relish the opportunity to return the favor. please call me any time.

  10. pam,

    I am so, so sorry for your loss and for your sister's suffering. I pray for peace for you, your living sister and your nieces. I know your sister who passed has already found her peace.

    love and prayers,

    amie

  11. Peggy's right, you be true to you. otherwise, I am in no position to give you advice - just positive thoughts.

    xoxo

    PS. pam was my aunt's name, makes me always look up at the mention of it...
