My good friend maevefemme lost her mom about a year ago to cancer. Would it be ok if I sent her this way? Just thought it might be useful for you to talk to someone else who's been there.
Naamah, I'm so sorry. ::hugs:: I lost my dad to lung cancer in '88. If you want to talk, go ahead and email me, or IM me if you have Yahoo Messenger. I'm KDotto there.
Hi Naamah, bifemme and I just got done talking and I'd love to be a support for you. Another LJ friend of mine, paper_goldfish, was a tremendous help for me b/c she had just lost her mom to brain cancer when my mom was dying from her cancer

Thank you for your kind words. I'm sorry you lost your mother, but I'm glad that her crossing was a peaceful thing. None of us can hope for more than that.
I will definitely check out that book. Thank you for the recommendation.
If she gets to the point where she needs more/better care than we can give her, I will encourage her to go into a hospice. Right now she's surprisingly spry, and they tell me that she very well might be functional and on her feet until the very very end. That would be nice. She's an independent cuss.
I'll go through your other journal . . . just . . . thank you so much for making that available to me. It helps a lot to know that someone else has gone through the same thing and come out the other side okay. It's all been so sudden . . . that you were able to make peace with your mother and that she passed well is incredibly reassuring.
