A few months left with Momma...

[Shane]

Prayers sent for your sweet Momma and for you and your family too.

Don't worry about finding all the "right" specific things to say or ask. Just spend as much time with her as you can. Make sure she knows you love her (I'm sure she does already), and just be with her. You'll both find things to talk about, ask about, laugh about, and cry about. That's all good. You'll get a lot out of just being with each other in the quiet as well. Make the most of your time. All the rest will fall into place however it comes.

May God bless y'all as you share precious moments together.

First off Prayers for your mom and your family.

I lost my mom to cancer two years ago and like others have said, I would give every last thing I have on this earth for just one more visit with her. With that being said, it will be the little things that will mean the most when she is gone. The questions will come, but you will miss just her voice, her asking questions about things that really doesn't seem to matter that much to you but they mean everything to her. I went to most dr. appt. with her and sat many a day and night at MD Anderson with her. I can tell you it won't be pretty but enjoy even the bad times cause in the end memories will be all you have left.

I wish you and your mom the best and most of all piece of mind. I hope you know god is there with you every step of the way. I tried to do it on my own with my mom and trust me you don't want to go that way.

God bless!

Wow... prayers up. Be strong and let her know how you feel about her and the great things she did for you and your family. Let her know she did a great job and that you guy's will be ok. She is going to be scared and try to make her have peace. No negative stuff and all positive stuff (other then medical)... even if you have to lie. Try to take care of all her concerns.

I went through a hard time with my fathers passing, but we where ready. Usually Moms are the corner stone of our families, so its going to very hard on all your family. The hard questions are if you guys are ready with funeral and cemetery. Don't put off till the end, because you will be very emotional and you will have a lot of things going on at the same time.

Again prayers for you and your family.

Prayers sent. Take as many pictures with her and the family while you still can. Those are visual memories you will never regret having enough of.

I just went through this with my dad. I didn't necessarily ask questions, more just talked fishing and different things he'd done in his life. He talked about growing up and us when we were kids. It was good to hear, but terribly sad. I did the talking, held his hand and cried as he slipped away. He's been gone 8 months.

I can't imagine what you are going through. My folks are in their 80's and we are very close. I talk with them daily and see them weekly.

I try to get them to share past experiences as often as possible.

Recall an event, place, vacation or someone from the past. Especially one that was unique. It is amazing where conversations go.

God bless amigo.

Been there with other family members, and almost had to do it a few times with my dad.. Prayers up for you and your family, it flat out sucks..

Just spend time with her. As much as you possibly can. Take a ton of pictures and video as much as you can.. Even if you record a video just for the sound.. Sometimes it's nice to just have something with their voice to fall back on when you hurt bad.

Don't worry about the pressure of what questions to ask.. There's enough on your mind already. Just be with her and talk. About nothing. Just talk.. The questions will find a way to present themselves.

Can't give you any advice on questions but all I can tell you is to spend as much time with her as you can. The conversations will come and you will have plenty to talk about. Most of all tell her you love her. Prayers to you.

I would ask her about her childhood and anything she remembers about your grandparents.

And, spend every second you can with her. You don't even need to talk. And, if you do talk, it doesn't need to be important. Every second you spend with her will be priceless in a short time.

Also, if there is anything she likes to do (hobby, sport, whatever) that she can still do, do it with her. You will both enjoy that time beyond measure.

Also, make sure a family member is with her whenever she goes to the doctor or the get her treatments. She will need someone to help her remember what they say, and facing those kind of things alone is very, very difficult.

One of the few things I have done correctly was move closer to home so I could see my family more. When my Dad went into the hospital, I spent every moment I could with him. I got to say all the things I wanted to say.

Still, I'd give anything I have to talk to him again.

Lost my Mother to cancer when she was 58.

Lost My Wife to cancer after twenty one of the best years of my life.

Enjoy your time with her. Right now everyone is in shock. After a few weeks you'll all be able to breathe again. She's not going anywhere right now.

Give her your time and your love.

God Bless You All.
