I guess i just really need to vent... June 2001 my Mom had a stroke which lead to 2 open heart surgerys it was a long road and I was her only caregiver as well as being a mother etc. after her stroke they had said that she would never have use of her hand again and have to be feed by tube etc. but we fought that with love, laughter and a very positive attitude, my father who had remarried many years ago had been diagnosed with parkinsons disease the year that he retired {20 years ago now} it was controled by meds and he did have surgery on one side of his brain and did very well untill a few years ago, long story short the batled ended on Sept. 1st although I feel that i mourned for him for the last 3 yrs because he no longer was the man that i knew and it truly was a blessing when the angels came and guided him home, i was and am still very sad angry etc. but here we are a few weeks later and my step mom has been diagnosed with lung cancer and maybe 3 months left..........i am angry confused and sad, I am not sure what to do....I don't know what to expect and most of all i don't know what to say to her when she asks me things like why etc. anyways it fells good just to peck this out and cry.......Any words of advise?
Preparing to say good-bye and then coping with the loss of a loved one are both difficult. Connect here with others dealing with the same issues and emotions.
