turmoil

hello~ I know that I missed my anniversary post, I have spent the last 3 weeks in the hospital with my mom. At 10:25 on Friday April 11th, my strong, courageous and beautiful Mother lost her fight with cervical cancer. The celebration of her life is tomorrow. Right now I can't even think straight thoughts. My heart is broken. My children are devasted and asking questions I cannot answer. Please make sure Ladies that you have an annual pap and if your doctor doesn't check for HPV, ASK for it! Cervical Cancer does not need to take another strong, courageous and beautiful woman. That is how I view you all. I am slowly listening to the food is love CD's. My sister is going to listen to them after I am done with them. I don't know how to get thru the day, oddly enough, I am not eating like I would have, food has no taste and i have to fight to keep it down when I do eat. love the important people in your life and make sure you show your love as well as speak of it. Nic

Awww Nic... My heart aches for you. As a cervical cancer survivor, I'll be thinking long and hard about you and your beautiful mother tomorrow. As your online friend, I'll be wrapping my arms around you. As your March sister, I'll be crying with you. Love, Connie

I am so very sorry at your loss.

You have my prayers, Nic. I'm so sorry. The beauty of losing someone we love is that they continue to visit us in our dreams; my mom and I have had the most amazing conversations and shared wonderful laughs together as I am soundly asleep. I lost her 15 years ago. You are loved and cared about, Nic. Take good care of yourself and your beautiful children. Love, Maureen

I lost my Mama March 30, 2007. She was in a nursing home for over 5 years and she was so happy the day she died. When I got there that day she said I'm going home to be with the Lord today and I'm ready to get this over with. I've missed her so much, she was my best friend. But, when I think of her I'm so happy she is not hurting anymore. I tell everybody to love your faimly and friends while you've got them, because you never know when you will not have them anymore. I will be thinking of you as you celebrate her like. Judy

I am SO sorry for your loss. I know the heartbreaking feeling of losing a parent, and like Reenie, I talk to my dad all the time....sometimes even in the car driving to work. Your mother will be with you always and forever and is watching over you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Joanie

Nic My Heart goes out to you & all your family Big hugs & Prayers for all of you. Lots of Love Ladybug Marilyn

nic...i am sorry to be so late in posting...i hadn't read all of the board. i am so very sorry for your loss. i have no words of comfort but send prayers and hugs for you and your family.

I am so sorry that you have to go through this, as we all do. It has been almost 2 years since I lost my mom. But I know she is in a better place. I just finished reading a book called 90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper. It is a great book. He was in a car accident, crushed and survived after being pronounced dead. It night help you get thru this trying time. Martha
