Wow all I can say is there are some pretty incredible people out there on this site helping one another get through the difficult time of losing a loved one and for those struggling to get by. I, too, have had my experiences with losing loved ones and I hope I can be of some encouragement. So many wonder WHY, understandably. Unforeseen occurrences befall all of us, meaning anything can happen. We live in critical times with our health, safety, economically and spiritually. Can you imagine living in a time where we have perfect health, no fear of safety, plenty of food, no sickness, suffering or death? Aya, right here on earth. I can share a number of scriptures that are very comforting and help to cope.

Assurance is found in the last book of the Bible," God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away...Look I am making all things new." Rev 21:4,5 That is a promise. It is God's purpose to bring an end to all suffering. He will do that by riding the earth of war, hunger, sickness and injustice. No human can accomplish that.

Two facts that can give us hope and encouragement. The first is this: Jehovah God will more than make up for any suffering we may have experienced. God assures us: "The former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart." Isaiah 65:17. God will undo, permanently, the misery and suffering. The second fact is: God has set a time to end suffering, " The vision is yet for the appointed time...it will not be late." Habakkuk 2:3

There are many scriptures regarding the blessings mankind will receive. Notice what Isaiah 33:24 says, "No resident will say: 'I am sick'" Psalm 37:29 "The righteous themselves will possess the earth and reside forever upon it." Acts 24:15 "There is going be a resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteous." And a global brotherhood! Psalm 46: 8,9 " Come, you people, behold the activities of the Jehovah, how He has set astonishing events on the earth. He is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth."

These are all scriptures in the bible that were written aforetime for our instruction so to have hope and comfort. Romans 15:4 So if you should see one of Jehovah's Witnesses out and about sharing comforting news from the Bible ask them for a magazine and if you are interested in learning more about the bible and what it really teaches you can have a free bible study at your convenience! If not you can certainly obtain a magazine that you will enjoy. Peace to all of you and may God Bless you with the truth.

Hello.

I'm Lila Kooks, and I have a mother whom is currently undergoing chemotherapy for Adult T-Cell leukemia. 3 years ago, she had Acute Lymphoma (HTLV 1), and went through chemotherapy. She survived it, but during the time she was going through chemo, she became paranoid, and lashed out at us. She was verbally abusive, and we were at a loss as to what to say or do to help her feel better. We had to wait out the storm, so to speak, for two days..we went to see her, and she was clearheaded for the first time in days. We were relieved. She went through chemo, I did whatever it took to help her recover. The leukemia went into remission, and we were relieved. I got a job, took care of the house, my mother, my son.

Last year, she has been diagnosed with Adult T-Cell Leukemia, and she is currently undergoing chemotherapy, again. This time, she has to spend 5 days in the oncology ward, not smoke, not eat the foods she likes, not have her coffee, can't bathe, having a hard time sleeping, and she is once again going crazy. She has accused me of spending money like there's no tomorrow (I haven't), of laughing behind her back (am not), or having a good time. I am not having a good time whatsoever. I've been cleaning, not eating, hardly sleeping, and avoiding the phone because she keeps calling me and spews abuse. Nothing I say or do is helping. I feel like an utter and complete failure, and at times I would feel so depressed I would wish I were dead. But I can't do that, because I have my son, and he is such a good little boy. But I keep choosing her over him, and that's not fair to him.

I don't know what to do. I need help, or I will end up doing something extremely stupid, and causing irreparable damage.

My husband and I are both nonsmokers and are not around other people who smoke or go to any smoky environments. He has never worked in an environment around chemicals or fibers that could cause lung cancer. That said, he just had surgery to remove lung cancer in his lower left lobe. It was accidentally caught at Stage 1. Needless to say, we feel very fortunate, but also now know that even nonsmokers can get lung cancer.

DEAR everyone This is my frist time writing here in little over a year. My sister died last year, not just from her brain cancer. It went though her whole body, she was so sick and me and my family know what you are going though it is so very hard. We took care of her and watched how sick she got from all the treatments. She was my best friend besides being my sister. I didn't know how to handle it. But you know when she ended up in hopcipe for some reason she wasn't scaried anymore, she use to cry all the time. And at the end when she was dying she was at peace, somehow, she wasn't afraid of dying anymore,and she went so peacefully. I just couldn't believe it because I was as scraced as she was. I think about her everyday. You will find that what is going to happen will happen with or without your say. I hope things get a little better for you,at least try to put the right thoughs in your head.

My husband of 25 years was just diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. For years I've been saying that I wanted to get more involved with the finances - he just kept putting off the whole thing...now, I have to learn everything right now. All in one sitting I learned our passwords to bank accounts, how & when bills are paid, etc. He said let's now worry about our debt, b/c if something happens to me, it'll all be paid off. Since I've not been involved in any of the finances for YEARS, I really feel lost. I don't know where to start. I don't know anything about our car, house or health insurance. He's always done our taxes...I feel like I am the only one that has been in this situation. How am I going to figure all this out?

I am so sorry about your mother and my prayers are with you. My mother of 87 years old just got diagnosed with malignant Brain Cancer. Great mother we love her. She has never been sick her in her life and does not take medication or ever has taken anything as far as I can remember. Pefect health. She had surgery recently to remove the brain tumor. She is on medicine now. I know that the tumor can grow back. My family and I take care of her but it is very hard. She is forgetting and argues at times also about things that don't matter. She is weak on her left leg. Sometimes she is so sharp mentally. I am hurting and so is the rest of the family. She will be having chemo (pill) and radiation in the next few weeks. When told by the Doctor her illness I chose surgery to save her and give her a chance but my sister said we shouldn't so she would not suffer this. My mother has always been healthy and optimistic. But I see her down everyday as everyday goes bye. Did I make the right decision?

Dear All,

My Dad was diagnosed this July with AA Grade III brain tumour. Along with dealing with the shock of it happening, we had to deal with how much to tell my Mom, manage the house , his business. We are still trying our very best. He is undergoing radiation and chemotherapy right now et he is being very brave about it. Not once does he complain but just goes through with everything. We are really hoping for the very best and can understand all and everybody and their anger and hope for their loved ones. He is right now suffering from all the side effects one can suffer from such a treatment and we can just watch et be there for him. So please just hang in there and take one day at a time, some days will be good , some horrible , just like today for us. But then there is always hope for tomorrow. God Bless all.

Dear Kathy K , I pray that your family and friends remain by your side and give you all the love and support that you need. Except for a handful of people and my two little maltese dogs, I remain basically alone much like the poor soul along the road in the bible. I pray that someday my good samaritan will come along but until then, I do the best that I can and live not only day to day but sometimes hour to hour. I have been without my dear Patty for two years now and the pain still remains. I miss her so very much and will until my time to leave this world comes. Please cherish your memories of the good times with your husband and hang on with both hands. They are wonderful medicine that even though they may bring a tear or two to your eyes, they will help so much to keep him alive in your heart. Remember, we are here for you. God Bless.

My daughter was dxed on April 22nd this year with met breast cancer, spread to bone (compression fractures c6 and t6-t11. liver and spleen. Lungs questionable, they thought they saw a few spots. On June 27th after she opted out of chemo, very sick, 3 infections, and she decided quality is better than than so call quantity they are trying to give her. She also had palliative radiation, ruined her esophagus and literally burnt her from the inside out. My daughter was told her cancer incurable, she has probably had it 8 yrs and she might live 12 to 24 months with treatment and 6 to 18 without. She has experienced weight loss, loss of appetite, hot flashes, nausea, vomiting, lethargy, enlarged spleen, discomfort in the shoulder, back, ribs and she as Ascites (swelling of the abdomen due to liver holding fluid) and a heaviest under rib cage, and of course depression. My daughters calcium was 17.6 (norm is 9) and she was pregnant with her first child. Pregnancy of course had to be terminated. It has been a nightmare. She has undergone two kyphoplasty procedures to stablize spine (cement like substance is injected between vertebrates. She has lot everything and now living back home with me (her mom). Today she just started crying and apologize because she just couldn't stop, my heart was just breaking. I honestly do not know how i am going to continue handling watching my only daughter die. I do wonder how long she will live, I wonder how I will remain strong, how I will stand at her funeral. I feel like I was kicked in the stomach and that feeling has not gone away since April 22nd. Having to tell my daughter 24 at the time, that she had stage 4 cancer that spread and that she had to terminate her pregnancy was the hardest thing I have ever had to do.

Hello All,

I have came to something and I don't know what to do. My mom got pnemonia during her break of chemo treatments. This was going to be her 3rd round of chemo. Her lungs filled up with fluid masking the fact that she had pnemonia. She was in the Cornary Intensive Care Unit. She is in a regular hospital bed now. The questions of nursing home, hospice, radiation, and etc. came about. I took a couple of weeks off of work till I knew what was going to happen. There is a order for physical therapy and home health to come in and help my mom. Not saying this is a bad thing. My mom got a little upset over the nursing home and etc. She is feeling depressed. I am a single mom of three kids trying to take care of my mom. I don't want my mom going to a nursing home, etc. I only work 3 days a week and I do not have the support that I need behind me to take care of my mom. My sister's boyfriend is something else. I think he may be waiting till my mom passes. The support that I have for my kids so I can work, doesn't want the responsibility of my mom. My mom still wants to fight in spite of everything. She needs to be commended. She went from total life support to coming home on Monday. I need to work but at the same time need to be there for my mom. Anything is always greatly appreciated. Thanks.
