Stuff that grinds your gears

My mother was diagnosed with Cancer two days ago. She's 90 yrs old. Had a family meeting about how we are going to manage things after she comes out from respite. We don't know how long she has left. We are thinking very little given everything we know.
I know from talking to people this is a difficult time for families and as much as we have already been doing our rota minding her etc this is coming to the next stage now. It's a bit surreal. We kinda knew it was maybe coming but now that it's here it hard to get our heads around it. One step at a time I think and palliative care hopefully will keep her comfortable. That's the main thing.

So sorry to hear, it sounds like she’s got wonderful support thought
Sending you my best wishes

Thanks H. Your post about your own mother hit home. 2 yrs is no time when grieving. Definitely remembering is in the healing process.
I wish you well too.

Thanks Lee. So many people go though this I know. It's the decisions and the unknown that's very hard. No easy way I suppose.

Very true Chara.
Both my parents died suddenly so it was different.

I'm very sorry to hear that. Try and take care of yourselves too. It's not an easy situation. Sure God love her.

Ya... old age ain't fun. It's tough on everyone
