I'm so glad that your mum is out of the very worst and responsive and still the same person. It's been a frightening week for you, and you're doing beautifully, even keeping us posted when you really have a lot of other stuff on your mind.
I so hope that your mum will do well in rehab.
No Brokeback Mountain stuff from me, because it'll only start here in two weeks. Beats me why that should be. *eyeroll* But I remain available on Y!M until March 2, and via email, of course.
You know, posting here in LJ and getting so much love from the LJ friends really helps me! And I really enjoyed talking to you the other day. I definitely want to talk again! ♥
And I can't wait to know what you thought of the film :)
Oh, Hélène. *hugs very tight* I'm glad to hear your mum is doing better, and I'm so in awe of your positive attitude. You're so amazingly strong, and my thoughts are still with you and your family. I will keep my fingers crossed for as complete of a recovery for your mum as is possible. *hugs more*
Whew- glad your Mom came through that scare! I know what you're going through is incredibly hard, not only just watching and worrying about your mom, but that feeling that no reaction is going to help her. (And that feeling of guilt. But no matter what you do and how much you see her, you will probably feel somewhat guilty that you "don't see her enough.") I've been there a couple of times, and I know it's not easy. ::many hugs::
Jake Gyllenhaal is wonderful, isn't he? I loved him in Brokeback, but I loved him even more in the sadly underappreciated Jarhead. (Plus, there he wears two Santa Claus hats and that's IT.) It was just brilliant and resonated very, very strongly with me.
I haven't gotten into the fandom, but I did post my review a month ago. It's here. Sue's review, which comes before mine on the page, is also really, really well written. (Hers is far more moving than mine.) The whole site is a great way to kill time, as well, if you need veg time! ;)
Yeah, the guilt is there, a bit. But as the alternative solution is just getting mad with obsessing about her, that's not the hardest part. And thanks for your words! It really helps.
I didn't see Jarhead yet. I wasn't sure I wanted to go, because I'm not really interested in Marines and soldiers boys in general. But if you say that's a good film, then... And I saw the Santa hat scene, though! YUM.
And I'm glad to hear your mother is improving. It is so difficult when a parent is in that kind of situation, because you can't help feeling a bit more childlike when it happens. I wish her and your family the best.
You know, I think I feel rather the opposite: visiting my mum like she is now, and feeling proud and happy when she tries to write, or manages to convey a yes or no, or makes some sort of drawing (with her left hand!) and I try to guess what it is, or when I read her some story... well, it just makes me feel sort of motherly. And my god, what a strange feeling!
Also, all my thoughts are with you for what's happening to you currently. I've really been wanting to tell you sooner, but heh... *HUGS MORE*
Okay, yeah, I can understand that, makes perfect sense, really. I guess I was looking at it from how I reacted when my mother died. It made me feel very little, because all I wanted was to crawl in her lap for comfort, you know? I haven't had to actually deal with an ill parent, and I think how you are reacting sounds very normal. Again, best of everything to your family.

Thanks so much, dear! You know, it really touched and helped me that you reacted to quickly to my first post last week ♥
And I had guessed you were talking about the sketch, don't worry! And I'm glad you liked it. Did you enjoy the film?

Thank you! (for your words, and for the sketch)
