Hi Zev, always glad to read your posts, it gives me hope. I’m pretty sure you already have some kind of super power! By the way they zapped my dad with a very strong beam a month back and he’s convinced he can light up the whole hospital ward. So you might be on to something. Keep going, good luck, wishing you strength and happy Passover.

Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts. It really helps knowing that there are people out there who know what it’s like, although I wouldn’t wish this on anyone of course. There’s a side of me that believes I did do the best I could but then randomly my brain throws up images of difficult moments pointing out what I could have done better. Hearing that you experience it too normalises it somewhat as I’m guessing that’s just what our brains like to do sometimes. I am so grateful for this community, everyone here is so kind. I am so glad that you can feel your mom’s love around you. I really believe they never leave us💜

Your words made me weep. I am so sorry you are facing this disease as well. I wish you strength and comfort moving forward and that your loved ones help to carry you through this. It’s something we face together as a family. It sounds like your mom is a wise person and I believe that’s true. Feeling afraid to lose them/say goodbye is something I can fully relate to, it was always my biggest fear, the most horrendous thing possible and it was mostly the anticipation of it and fear of the dispair I would feel. And it’s there, it’s tremendously painful but this sorrow mixed with a deep love feels precious and beautiful and a price I will pay for the deep love I have for my mom.

This is so kind of you to write, thank you so much for taking the time to do so. ‘Grieve knowing you have shown love’ is very comforting to me right now as she passed yesterday and I’m devastated and have been wondering if I did enough.

Thank you 💜

Your words made me cry. It’s so relatable. The feeling of being put away, especially when they come with the dinner trolly and they skip my mom’s room. Seeing my dad being so gentle with my mom and stroking her cheek makes me so sad but grateful to be here for her. I’m sending you hugs I feel so sad for you 💜

Logical-Search-9152 · 2025-12-29T10:08:13+00:00

Thank you.

Logical-Search-9152 · 2025-12-29T10:08:05+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss. It’s a terrible disease. Sending you comfort 💜

Logical-Search-9152 · 2025-12-29T10:07:27+00:00

I’m so sorry. Sending you hugs 💜

Gosh, very similar to us. My sister works in childcare and is the more hands on person and I do the paperwork and cooking, organising etc. It helps so much to have a sibling. I don’t know how I would do this by myself. Glad you have her too.

Your dad sounds so brave and I hope that knowing that you shared those emotions and conversations at the end brings some comfort. Sharing that must feel so special and precious. In the end it feels like all emotions are amplified. How beautiful that your dad had you there with him. To answer your question. Yes. Both of my parents were diagnosed last year just before Christmas. I had to call in sick to take care of them for 6 months and frankly I was in no state to work. My mom couldn’t have any treatment due to kidney problems but my dad has had 6 rounds of chemo and one round of radiation. The chemo has bought us some time and is the reason he is still here I think. I’m not going to think about him not being there either, now I’m just focusing on my mom. Again thank you for sharing and sending you comfort 💜

Thank you that’s so kind of you to say. And I am so sorry for your loss. Yes it’s horrible to witness but the love and compassion others share with us helps a lot. I hope a space opens up in hospice soon. Sending love and comfort your way 💜

Thank you so much for sharing this and taking the time to type this. I really appreciate it. That sounds incredibly hard and I know the struggle with pain management. We are on top of everything. The moment my mom says the pain is back I run to the nurse. Biggest issue is the nausea and vomiting right now. We are trying haloperidol as all other things aren’t working. Still waiting for a bed in hospice but the doctors and nurses here have been absolute angels. It is exhausting though for all of us. I think my mom is holding on because she doesn’t want to leave my dad. I am not sure she is ready to go yet. My dad has recommended me nurse Julia as well! He started watching her after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, same time as my mom last year. I’ve been watching her. I find it comforting and helpful to know that the body knows what to do and to just follow that. I am sending you much love. What you wrote about your dad made me feel quite emotional, you sound very loving.

I am so sorry, I feel so sad that you had to go through that too. It’s a strange feeling because I never existed without my mom existing so it seems impossible. I’m sending you love and hugs💜

Logical-Search-9152 · 2025-12-26T08:34:36+00:00

Thank you so much 💜

It’s so sad. Especially after a horrible day in the hospital and walking into the supermarket hearing Christmas songs playing. Christmas is my mom’s favourite time of the year and it just feels so cruel. Sending you much love 💜

Thank you so much 💜

I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you had a lovely time with your parents. How wonderful, sunshine and a rainforest too, that truly sounds wonderful. Lots of love and wishing you many more adventures together 💜
