I'm not sure there's a good place to post this in general. But apparently Hospice went to my folks home tonight and my mom has five days at the most they say. I'm still debating going to work but for most part I'm still partially shocked by the news. Though I'm hoping her stubbornness will pull her through, its already been a rough few years on her.

Though I may not know you, my heart truly goes out to you and your family. I dread the day I loose my own mother, whom I am extremely close to... Both of my parents are getting up there in years, and have their own share of health problems, so I know that day isn't too far off into the future unfortunately. I cherish every minute I have with them as if it were gold. ;-;

Death is never an easy thing to go through, especially when there's so much distance between you and them, and you know there's nothing you can do... I know how it feels to watch someone you love fade away before your eyes and feel completely helpless against it. It's not at all an easy thing to go through at all. But sadly, it's a part of life and all we can do is let them go and carry on living out our own lives in their memory.

*gives you random hugs* <333

Thank you Roonie-Roe. <3
It's difficult for me at best atm because I'm still in the shock phase. You know whats going on, just everything is a bit over whelming that you don't really realize the depth of it either. Then when you start too, about the holidays. How you can't call them and ask them a question about a recipe they taught you and you forgot a part of it. It's just those little things. Like for the fact I was going to move my entire wedding to Florida because she can't really get around very easily these days. She's never been to one of her daughters weddings. Okay that's going to get me to tear up.

My mother just turned 50; its like six days till her birthday. She isn't old at all. Like I'm sure I've said before she's been sick since I was ten with MS. But she wasn't that bad till about a year or two ago. She's been bed ridden off and on since then. The hospice came over tonight. The way her health is declining they have given her five days at the most. I got the call from my older sister and she just sounded dead. It's hard for me to believe this is actually happening... I figured a year a few years. But it seems so sudden now.

I know it sounds selfish but it's hard to believe I'm losing my mother at 26, mind you I just turned four days ago. My grandmother will outlive my mother in this case. I expected that in a way but for it to actual happen is another. I just hope I can fly out there in time.

Anytime. <3

*nods* Yeah, I have had two uncles that both died around the same age, both to cancer thanks to Agent Orange exposure when they served in the Vietnam war (Sadly, one of them I never had the chance to meet. At least not when I was old enough to remember it, he lived so far away and kept to himself). It doesn't seem at all fair that they had to die at such a young age (much less thanks to such negligence on the military's part). And the one lived with the cancer for years without even knowing about it. His doctor kept telling him he was just getting old whenever he'd complain about an ache or pain and refused to do anything to look into it. He simply gave my uncle pain pills for it and dismissed it entirely (I won't go anymore into that though, it makes us all very mad what that doctor did)... He went very suddenly, which I guess in a way was a good thing, that way he didn't suffer as long, but it was very shocking to us all and it seemed completely surreal that he wasn't going to be there anymore. Only days before he'd seemed perfectly fine and he'd be around for many more years. :c

It's only natural to feel selfish. It's just so hard to let them go, no matter the circumstances, and especially considering how young you both are (I'm just a year younger than you are btw). I really do feel for you, and I hope everything can go as well as it possibly can for you and the rest of your family during this time. And I hope you can get out there to her and be with her. <3

I am so sorry to hear that!!! D: You and your mother are very strong to be brave enough to go through all that for so long. Doctors and nurses can be so careless sometimes! My great grandpa died only a year ago at the age of 84. He lived a long life until the nurses of the hospice home he was living in wheeled him (He was in a wheel chair) outside and left him there in 90 degree heat for over 4 hours. He didn't have the strength to push himself back inside so he was badly sunburned.Of course, they didn't leave him out there on purpose, but we still can't believe how ignorant people can be. Only days after he died because of the severe burns and strokes.. I know how you feel. *Hugs* I will be praying for you and your family. Stay strong. <33

I'm sorry to hear that happened to your grandfather. She's been in and out of the hosptial quite a bit, she normally does better at home but she always turns for the worse sooner or later. This is the first time they've called me on the issue, and with a set number of days. I've called out of work and have booked my flight for tomorrow night. I hope I'll get there in time.

[Aracenae]

made me tear up. reminded me of a family member who died of heart failure before he could learn to walk.

[PolarAzulTigris]

She just passed... I'll update with the information later. Still got that flight to catch.
