My mother passed away this evening.

My sympathies ... it's always a sad day when you start praying for an end to their suffering, in any form, instead of a recovery.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Triumph. My condolences, and prayers are with you.

I think and worry about my mother all the time. This thread just helps me put things into perspective. Cherish what you have.

Take care, Triumph.

I'm sorry to hear that Triumph, you have my sympathy and condolences. My dad died almost 4 years ago from liver cancer and I still think about it all the time. Sometimes it still doesn't all seem real. Can you believe that? Almost 4 years later and I still can't fully believe it happened. I feel so sorry that you had to see your mother in such pain, but at least you were with her; I wasn't with my dad, but my mom was, and I cannot begin to imagine how she (and you) felt to actually watch it. I hope you don't feel at all guilty or responsible, and I hope that after you have grieved, you'll be able to look back on your memories with her and smile instead of cry.

I'm so sorry, Triumph. I can empathize... I lost my grandmother and an aunt to cancer.

Peace,

Sorry for your loss Triumph. My condolences to you and your family.

 

[Triumph]

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I know that I'll be ok, but I worry about my father. She was his life, and now that she's gone I'm worried that he may choose not to live anymore. God forbid that. They're both young, a scant 64 years old, they should've had 25 more enjoyable years together. But that's the way it is, I guess. One day at a time.

After almost a year long battle with colon cancer, my mother passed away this evening, calmly and peacefully. She was the strongest woman I've ever known; even with setback after setback with repeated chemotherapy failures, she never gave up, never stopped living, and never once shed a tear for herself. She did more good things for this world than I could ever hope to match. It was almost as if she had held out long enough to enjoy one last christmas with us; the cancer grabbed hold of her only two weeks ago today. She'd been in the hospital since then, rapidly deteriorating. Every day she looked worse and felt worse. I will never ever see a more horrendous sight than that of my mother lying there in that bed, nearly unrecognizable, gasping for breath, not responding to the squeezes of my hand in hers. And now I'm glad that the pain is over for her. Wherever she is, she is at peace. None of this even seems real to me yet, that's the only way I'm able to write this now. But I have my family and friends whom I know that I can lean on for support. The gravity of all this will hit me eventually, someday, and I don't dread it. Because the pain won't last forever, tomorrow will always come, and time heals all wounds. There's not much that anyone can say to fix things, so I'm merely asking you to look around yourself and realize who it is that you love most of all, and make it known to them. Appreciate them and hold onto them. You will need them someday.

I'm so sorry Triumph, i know how it feels, my mother passed away a couple of years ago, and your description of it is very close to mine...

The pain has ended now, she has found her peace, finally, she can just rest...
