How do I deal mentally with the news my mom may die any day? My sister says they are sending her home to die.?

First of all my heart goes out to you & your sister. I have gone thru death many times & the only advice I can give you is contact either your Pastor or Hospice. When my husband passed away(at 51) I totally lost it..I did have a wonderful counselor that was from Hospice, & my Pastor also. I also went to local library & checked out books about death of loved ones(theres an author Helen Kubler Ross) I might have misspelled her name..but anyway check out books..READ and please make sure you go thru the grieving process..it really hurts so much, nobody understands until it happens to them. Try and be strong for your Mom(this is so difficult), cry let the tears flow..try your best not to let your Mom see you cry..stay close to her at home if possible.

oh baby. i'm SO sorry to hear this, i could just cry for you. sweety, you are going to need a lot of support. i'm hoping that you have someones shoulder to cry on and to tell you though mom wont be here for you, you will have a mom in me. some get that support, i pray that you are one of those blessed ones.

i think in times like these you have to be spiritual. nothing quells the heart and mind other then jesus. you have to think that your mom will never leave your side. she may not be here for you physically but she will always be here for you spiritually.

my girlfriend is going in for surgery on the 11th. for a double mastectomy there is a good chance that the cancer has spread through her body. though there is no more important person other then a mom to a child. i can still sympathize because i might be going through the same thing losing a loved one in a few months.

i'll keep you and your mom in my prayers that you will get through this crisis, hun.

in finishing this entry, i'm crying for you baby girl.

god bless.

I'm sorry that you are going through that.

I would be with her as much as possible talk with her do things (if she can) together and just show her that you love her.

For you mentally the best thing I know to do is Pray =) and read the Bible there is something in that book for everything!!

There is no real way to deal with it you just do it and even if you tell your self over and over that she is dying it still doesn't make it any easier.I would say spend as much time with her as you can let her know you love her and how special she is to you.

You can never prepare yourself.

Be with her as much as possible, and your family, and keep doing some daily routine things. Let her know once more that you love her.

I am so sorry just try tobe with her as much as possible before she departs this world and tell her good bye

Be with her and treat her. Go out to dinner and go to the mall. Do everything!

Consider yourself lucky. You can finally relax and stop enduring her constant criticism and disappointment, forgive her for the flawed and abused creature that she was, and move on with living your life, free. I long for my parents to die and relish that my horrible grandmother who never even tried to get to know me yet took every opportunity to criticize and exclude me, has been dead now for nearly four years. Carlos Castaneda advised anyone seeking mental health to leave their families behind as soon as possible and cut off any communication. You can't become the person you want to be while constantly being barraged with your so-called loved one's expectations. Were I more independent I would've done this long ago, but sadly I cannot survive without my parents financial help.
