Need Some Air to Breath And Some Room to Cry
Posted: 01-27-04 23:24pm

I am sorry about not being on in a while, we have gotten a lot of bad news here recently and I am trying to pull my family and myself together. We found out that my mom is sick again, but I don’t think she is getting well this time. I want christina to spend as much time with her as possible, so we have been doing stuff everyday. Wow, I am like in tears again, its so frustrating, I can’t do anything, I feel helpless. Well I just wanted some time to talk with you girls when christina is in bed so she can’t see me cry. Its hard to talk about any of it. If any of you have any ideas of how I can tell christina, it would be good. My mom said that she doesn’t want her to know, but how can I lie to her? She can see that she is getting weaker and paler, and I don’t want her to wake up one morning and her nana not be there and her not know why. I mean should I tell her? Should I not? Damn it this shouldn’t be happening, she is too young and I need her, christina needs her, my dad and laura and my brother and kyo and nathan and matthew need her. Ok I am going to stop before I cry any harder. Thank you for reading, it means the world to me that you care enough to do that!

Hun.. Im so so sorry.. .How old r u and how olds your daughter? And I how is your mom sick? Im so sorry this is happening. . I dont know what I would do.. Maybe just tell her that her gramma is sick and that she will be here long as she can and hopefully will get well.. But if she does have to leave just tell her how much her gramma does love her and to never forget it and just to cherish every minute shes here. . But u dont want to scare her.. Is your mothers sickness fatal? This must be so hard. Im so sorry you have to go through this. But u must be so strong not to cry in front of christina.. I really hope ur mother gets well I will keep her in my prayers.. Im sure everyone will..

Kari thank you, I am 19 years old and my daughter will be 6 years old on july 4th. My mother has cancer, it started as breast cancer and has moved into her bones and blood stream. The doctor told her that it is too far gone for any treatment and that any treatment now would only prolong her pain and weaken her, she goes in tomorrow for a time assessment. Please keep her in your prayers, my nana died when my mom was 14 years old, just 6 weeks after she was diagnosed at this stage. I want my mom to be there to walk me down the aisle and watch me have more babies! Thank you again, your a sweetheart.

Hi. I know how you feel and how hard this is for you to go through especially having a child. I lost my mom at the age of 17. I am now 20. My mother died out of nowhere. She complained of breathing problems so I took her into the hospital and they diagnosed her with severe pneumonia and admitted her in the icu since it was so bad. 5 days later she died. Now how many people do you know that die from that nowdays? Well after an autopsy, come to find out she was misdiagnosed and actually her coronary artery was blocked and as a result of the blockage increasing, she had a heart attack. They never even knew. As far as the family was concerned she was in good health. My mother was 42 when she passed. I encourage that you take this time that you have left with your mom and spend every moment you have with her. You have the time. I didn't. As far as your daughter goes, just explain to her how it is. My sister did that with her boys and they were only 6 and 8. But be strong for your daughter. Now is the time that she can learn about death and also she will be more capable of handling it later in life. I am here for you if you need to talk. Pm me if you want to exchange e-mail addy's or w/e. I will pray for you and your family. You can make it through this. ~ erica.

I dont know what to tell you about your daughhter, sean is real cloe to his gg, and if something was to happen to her I dont know what I would do. I dont know if I would or would not tell her, maybe you hsould get a piece of paper and weigh the pros and cons. This is a hard one babe..Im praying for you!!

Thank you girls very much for all of your support, I wrote my mom a letter last night and gave it to her this morning, telling her everything I love about her and what she means to me. Tonight I am going to talk to christina. My mom went to her appt. About 10 minutes ago, and I am so worried what the doctor will tell her. Well I should go. Thanks again.
Erica and jennifer I am so sorry about your mom and grammy. I do think I will need the help and advice.

The appt. Sucked to be frank, the doctor was very rude and not sympathetic at all. He said that she has 3 months maybe more maybe less, and thats exactly how he said it. I made her dinner tonight and she took christina to disney on ice, I think it was called, geez I am real with it huh? Lol anyway just wanted to let you all know. Thanks again for all your support, I am gonna need it later, but for now I am sucking it up and spending all the time I can with my mom, that was the best advice you girls could ever give me!

Aw kell i'm so sorry about what your going through but you are such an amazing and strong woman. If you can give birth to and start raising a child at 13 and still be the successfull level-headed person you are today you know you can make it through this. I know none of what anyone says is going to make it any better and im sorry the doc was an problem but just enjoy every moment you have with your mom, spend alot of time with her and tell her how much you love her. Wish you the best and lots of hugs
love

Omg kelly I am so so sorry sweetie! You definately do not deserve this! Like the girls said spend time with you mom and make them happy moments. My papa died of cancer and it was very hard, but I have so many good memories of him that I have in photos, objects but most of all in my heart, make sure christina spends alot of time with her, she will remember I promise, my papa died when I was in 3rd grade and I remember every detail of him and his house! Lol

Lol we told christina and she took it hard at first but thanks to her's and jordan's inside joke, she thinks her nana is turning into a fairy godmother so she is doing better! Lol
