My great condolences to you. Sadly,I can also understand & relate as I lost my mother about 2 years ago on february 22 2013 from lung cancer.She was only 71!. She's greatly loved & missed every day.
To make matters worse,my stepfather seems to not want to see me & I'm estranged from my father too.My twin brother is also struggling with multiple myeloma - a blood cancer,type 2 diabetes & neuropathy in both his hands & feet.Also a longtime friend has moved away as well....I need some POSITIVE things to happen in my life for a change.
We all have our challenges in life,but it's always best to try to support each other.
