    It is all wrapped up in your feelings and emotions. There is the despair of losing something, or someone that you feel close to. You do need to change your direction of thought. First of all, go talk to your mother. Next, ask yourself this question, could my mother go on if it were I that was in this condition. Sure, it would hurt her deeply to lose you, but could she go on? Would your not being able to go on make her happy? I doubt it, So, what is your decision, do I honor my mother by falling apart, or do I honor her by going on? That is a question that only you can answer. I lost my mother when I was 4. How do you tell a 4 year old that his mother loved him, when she is not there to say so. I lost my father 26 years ago. I miss him most of all, yet I had to answer those questions as well. My answer was that I honor him best by going on, what is your decision? I/'m not saying that missing them is wrong, nor is grieving over your loss. There are many times when I am bothered by mine greatly. But I still go on, because that honors his memory the best. I can understand how you feel, and I do empathize with you for what you will eventually face. However, you do need to go on in life, and I feel certain that your mother would agree. Talk to her, and see what she has to say.

    hello.

    i am so sorry to hear about your mother.

    my friend of 8 years just lost his mother, Becky Steel to cancer

    on christmas day 2006.

    she was a dedicated mother of two boys and a radiologist at UNM hospital.

    she was wise and caring, and she helped me through some of the toughest parts of my life.

    i will miss her so much.

    the truth of life is death.

    everyone will die. this of course does not make the process easier. life is suffering.

    do me a favor and promise to be there as much as possible for her. talk to her always. learn from her while you can. her time is near.

    i know how scared you are.

    be strong.

    i wish you all the best

    Your Mum gave you your life and wants you to live it to the full and she wants you to be happy because all parents want their children to be happy.

    Let your Mum know that you care about her, and act positive even if you don't feel it, sometimes you just have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going when times are hard.

    Talk to your friends about your worries and let your Mum see that you are coping with this, because she will be worrying about you.

    I hope that she makes a full recovery and wish you both well.
