my mom has been given just a few weeks..

thriftyEvie · Apr 13, 2009

my mom has been given a few weeks to a few months to live. She started kidney dialysis was on it for 3 days and said she is done. She is filling up with fluids, and now she tells us kids, she won't do dialysis anymore. I am mourning her already, I can't stand it. Tuesday morning she will be released from the hospital because her wishes are to die at home. She is leaving 6 of us behind.

My heart really goes out to you and your family. I'm sorry that you're going through this. However, I'm thankful that your mom has accepted Jesus...that has to bring at least a small degree of comfort.

I just so sorry...

My mom passed away March 1, 2008.

mom was placed in a Primary care unit instead of going back to her home, where she now receives 24/7 care. She just sleeps all the time now. The toxins are coming out of her pores like crazy and the nurses and the Dr's say it will eventually go to her brain. Pray that the Lord takes her and to give us 6 children comfort. Not only are we dealing with our mom, we have to deal with the stress of her money and her house. Please pray for our strength because we are all so weak and fragile. thank you

I lost my Daddy to lung cancer on March 23, 2009. He survived only 1 month and two days between diagnosis and death. My mother is currently on dialysis, but her complications are such now that she will not survive long, either. I am the youngest of their six children. She is also in the hospital.

You're in a very hard place right now

Please know that right now, things are a valley of shadow, but God is there with you all, including your mother. Even though things look as though they are viewed through a veil of pain, God is with you all on the clear side of the veil. While your heart is breaking, God is still catching every tear from you, and mourning with you.

To everything, there is a season, and it it tied to every purpose under Heaven...A time to be born, and a time to die. It's not our place, but God's, to know and orchestrate those seasons. Even though we feel so lost, confused, and tortured, God is still in control over everything which is happening. He's watching over your mother, sweetie.

I cannot tell you why my Daddy suffered so much before he passed, nor can I tell you why my mother is suffering so much right now. But I can tell you this...While death feels so close, the Father is closer. Trust Him.

Your mother may be sleeping, but you can still talk to her. I know I did to Daddy right before he passed. I didn't think he heard...But then, he smiled. Morphine blunts pain, but there's debate on whether it blunts cognizance. Don't be afraid to speak, and say the things on your heart. Let her know how much you love her, how much you care. Let her know the things close to your heart. She needs to hear it, and you need to know she had the opportunity to hear it. It's part of a process.

God bless.

Sorry for my tardy reply. Thank you for your expression of sympathy.

Darlin' - you need to know that you are not going to lose her. You will be seperated from her for a little while, and then you will be together for all eternity.

thriftyEvie · May 21, 2009

life hasn't been the same,I miss her so. I just can't stand it,I know that she is with my dad in heaven with the Lord, but physically, I just want to pick up the phone and say "hi mom, how ya doing today?",people with mothers should appreciate them while they are here on the earth.

Parents are like teeth,you only get one set your whole life.

what a perfect comment. for us christians, the separation is temporary. when i die, i hope to see my parents, baby christina, aunt mary, and three schnauzers, along with other christian friends who have gone on before me.

our loved ones are only one breath away from us.

thriftyEvie · Jul 7, 2009

appreciate every breath of life

fairygailie · Jul 8, 2009

so true! sadly, most people don't until death hits a loved one. that's when we realize how fast a life can end and how precious is truly is.
