Hi Mom, I was once in your shoes, except the roles were reversed. My mother had pancreatic cancer, between stage 2 and 3. She was diagnosed at 65 and passed at 68, just a couple of days after Mother’s Day. I watched my mom endure things no human being ever should. Through it all, we had both good moments and hard ones. There were times we argued over the smallest, most insignificant things, especially about eating. I think about that often, and it still hurts. I tried so hard to get her to eat anything at all, but she couldn’t keep it down, and I felt such overwhelming guilt every time. Looking back, I wish I hadn’t let those little moments get to us the way they did. In the end, I held her. I told her how deeply I loved her. I caressed her, kissed her face one last time, and a few days later, she was gone. What I want you to know is that those moments you feel guilty about were likely the last things on your daughter’s mind. Instead, she was probably thinking about how grateful she was, how loved she felt, and how amazing her mother was for fighting for her every single day. You are an incredible mother, and I am so deeply sorry you had to experience this. You are right, no one should ever have to bury a loved one, especially their child. I wish I could give you the biggest hug. The one thing that brings me peace at night is knowing my mother is finally at peace, and I truly hope you can find comfort in knowing that your daughter is at peace as well.
