New to board, have question
| Tue, 03-27-2007 - 6:53pm |
Hi, my mom has pancreatic cancer with a prognosis of about 6-8 more months. She is confined to bed - she has no leg strenth and can't stand. I am sole caretaker, with hospice help. Other than a 79 year old uncle in Texas (we are in RI), there really isn't any other family. I've gone through hysteria and denial, and I have lots of questions, but tonight my question is about myself. For a long time I just disregarded my life - it wasn't important right now. But after seeing my mother have so many regrets and bitterness I realized I don't want to be that way and I've started to realize that I have to continue my life in SOME way. However, I also feel very selfish. I've met someone and for all I know it could turn into nothing. My question is - am I being selfish by pursuing some aspects of my own life now?? Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the board.
So sorry Mom is so ill.
