Am I in denial?
| Tue, 05-09-2006 - 5:50pm |
I am not sure what I should be feeling or saying about my mom and her terminal cancer. She seems to be getting worse everyday. We are extreemly close although whenever she talks to me about her aches and pains or worse when she says she feels like her body is giving up I always ignore her! or change the subject. I feel like an awful daughter, am I normal?

I think I know what you mean. Right now, I am in my hometown for my wedding (why now?!), and my mom is slowly slipping away. I find myself putting off going into her room to visit, because it is so painful to see her. But, I do make sure I see her a few times a day. Perhaps you might force yourself so that you don't find yourself regretting this time later.

Well, I told my Mom yesterday how I fealt. I told her It was hard for me to listen to it but I was, and will , always listen to her. If that makes scence to you. She said she knew, and actually cracked a few jokes. I fell much better after laying it all out on the table. I need my Mom in my life, she's my best friend.
On a different subject, tommorrow she is heading to vegas, i'm not sure its a great plan but her friend bought her a ticket, she's excited to go. I AM SO WORRIED ABOUT HER IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY! She has to go to the ER in Vegas and have her blood drawn and the results faxed to her oncologist (my mom was upset about that). I feel guilty wishing she didn't go but I hope she has the time of her life.
Anyways, It sure feels good to just type your feelings out. It makes me feel better.
