Hello

Welcome to our community isa22. The last weeks must have been very tough – knowing something was wrong, going to see the doctor, waiting for test results, hoping and then hearing the results.  

Each person's experience is unique, but the members of this community understand and will support you. 

Can you tell me a bit more about the supports you have and how you are managing - with being a mom, a daughter and caregiver?

Dear isa22,

I'm glad you're here. This place is where people can hold each other up, and share the hardest things. I know what you mean about being so sad and scared. The severe illness and impending death of close family members is an uncertain and scary process. May you find the voices and faces along the way, including ours, that let you know you're not alone.

In my case, I'm sad and scared nearly all the time because my husband is dying of neoplastic leukemia, but in a much slower and more stressful way than we had been told. And my step-daughter challenges and criticizes me for how I'm carirng for him at every step of the way.

I cry a lot. But everytime I come here, I find voices of care and love. Let me send you some love today, and may you find your lighted path each day.

Hello,

I want to thank everyone who reached out.

My mother passed away on Feb. 16th. She spent her last few days in a hospice.

I will come back to share our story but right now I am struggling. I am still processing the last 2 months. I have seen too much and experienced too much in a short time.

My story is not any different than any one of you. My heart goes out to all.
