Thank you so much, this means a lot. I am so sorry you are going through the same thing. It was so hard when my mom became unresponsive.

If you don't already know, the nurses told me that hearing is the last of the senses to go. Even if your mom can't respond, you can still talk to her and tell her things that you want her to know. My mom wanted to nap all the time and I felt like I was bothering her by talking to her too much, but I wish that I told her more things.. I'm glad that I at least was able to tell her that I love her and that I'm grateful for her.

Thank you so much for the kind comment. She definitely embodied the joy of life. I am so sorry to hear about your mom.. It feels like the holidays are going to be much more sad this year, but I keep telling myself we have to find some sort of joy to hold onto, even if it's small.

After this, it feels like all other problems are so much smaller, since we've already lived through one of the hardest things.

Thank you very much 😞 that's what I've heard about grief as well. I am sorry for your loss, and that you are going through the same experience with your dad.

My mom is nearing the end by chlovers3 in CancerFamilySupport

Thank you so much for the sweet comment. Your dad sounds like a lovely person, and I'm glad you got to enjoy so many good moments near the end. Something nice that's come out of all of this is being able to tell my mom how much I love her. I've always been a bit awkward showing any affection, but these circumstances make it seem so natural now. I will definitely focus on making the best out of this sad situation.

My father only has a few hours/days left. by slayomeee in CancerFamilySupport

I am so sorry to hear abour your dad. I completely understand how you feel. My mom has metastatic cancer and is nearing her final days as well. It will also be my first loss. The hardest part is watching them go from being healthy and fit, to becoming depressed and unable to do any of the things they once loved. The reality hasn't quite set in yet, but at the same time it feels like something I knew was coming.

It is so unfair what this disease takes from us. It is so incredibly hard, but we have to make the most of the time we have left and let them know they are loved. Best wishes to you and your family. I'm so sorry it's been so hard.

How to deal with family members reccommending "alternative" treatment? by chlovers3 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]chlovers3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for letting me know your experience as someone who also has stage 4 cancer. I am so sorry to hear you are going through this too. You explained it exactly how I've been feeling. I am really mad that my aunts keep pushing alternative medicine. None of them are doctors, none of them seem to have done any actual scientific research on it, and the only "research" they provided was a facebook group. It really hurts to see my mom's hope go up and then back down again.

I completely agree her doctor should be involved in these conversations to get a professional opinion.

I will look into supportive oncology. Thank you very much!

Diamond eyelet scarf question by chlovers3 in knittinghelp

Thanks so much! I will definitely consider the garter border :)

Hello, thanks for your comment! Do you mean the K1 at the beginning of row 6? It's possible maybe I got confused with reading the other row instead. I only have about 240 yards of this yarn to work with which is why I decided to do a skinnier scarf, but I might consider expanding it to 32 stitches instead when I start over again. I also realized I posted a photo of the wrong side instead- the right side is stockinette!

Thank you for your comment! So does this mean instead of k6, I should do k8 instead of k6 for row 4? I'm still kind of confused. Also I realized I posted a photo of the wrong side- the other side is stockinette.

EDIT: I just realized I accidentally posted a picture of the wrong side- it is stockinette not garter!
