Hang in there Russell and Patti. Things will get better.

Thank you both for replying, it is comforting to know I'm not alone. My mother was only 58 and had such a difficult life. She really deserved so much better. This is one of the times I wish I was a person of faith, it might ease some of the pain. Deb, that is very sweet of you and your family to deliver flowers to your mother. I also think of my mother often. She influenced me in so many ways that it is hard not to think about her. Kate, time heals all wounds. Typically when I feel really down I spend more time with my children. Their vibrance and good nature usually picks me up.

Hello, I'm new to the site. My mother passed away last year on January 31st of lung cancer. January 25th was the last day my mother was lucid which I guess is why I'm posting. My mother was diagnosed in December of 2007 and passed away the following month. I had a very difficult holiday season and apologized often to my children because all I really wanted was for the holidays to pass. I talked with my sister earlier today and she is meeting with my brother and father for dinner. I live in a different state so I don't have the family support my siblings do. I needed to get this off my chest, thanks to this site for offering me a place to vent.
