My thoughts are with you and your family. Hang in there and Celebrate all the love she gave. and so it goes......

Hang in there and, most importantly dont waste your time with emotions that keep you from living your life. I am not saying dont be sad, or its bad to dwell. MOST IMPORTANTLY, though your mom is still alive at this moment, so make sure that when you are spending time visiting her, whether she is awake or asleep, that you talk to her, get it out, because, though I talk to my dad and Hilary, and my grandparents all the time, it is different. Make whatever amount of time you have left as meaningful as you can/want. This is the best advice I can offer at this time.......My thoughts are with you and your mom......
I couldn\'t agree more. I never got to say goodbye to my dad. One day he was just gone. So, whether she can hear you or not, she is here NOW so say whatever it is you need to say. You will always regret it if you don\'t. You have an opportunity that I wish I had. This time right now is a gift. Get it all out.
I\'m thinkin of ya.
-
how do you say goodbye? it\'s just an impossible thing to do. i can only wish you strength and and offer you love.
you dont. you say, i\'ll see you later
-
Robyn, I am sorry to hear about your mom. I have begun to rationalize life, or should I say death, as something that not one person on this earth will avoid. We all must go, and everybody is going to go the way they are supposed to go, whether its a car accident, heart attack, cancer, etc. Looking at death in this light has helped me deal with the losses I have suffered along the way.
This is why it is so important to not waste time and energy in negative ways. Why waste the precious seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years away being depressed or angry about **** we have no control over.

I\'m sorry to hear that Robyn. If you need anything, let me know...
-
robyn. ****. i am so sorry to hear this. my heart is sinking reading this. i wish i had some comforting words for you,
That about says it. Words fail me in these situations. Sorry to hear it.
-
robyn. ****. i am so sorry to hear this. my heart is sinking reading this. i wish i had some comforting words for you, but the truth is - cancer is HEARTLESS, and it will steal from you that which you hold most dear, with no apologies.
i had to say goodbye with my mom at a time when her lucidity was limited. it\'s the most impossible thing i\'ve ever had to do, and it haunts me still.
though, i don\'t know if i could have done it if she was herself (also a pillar of strength, the strongest person i\'ve ever known).
how do you say goodbye? it\'s just an impossible thing to do. i can only wish you strength and and offer you love.

An update on my mom...
Things are looking pretty dire as of right now. Probably days, not longer. She\'s been in a delirium, heavily sedated state, yet also in a "terminal restlessness" in the past few days. It\'s so weird seeing a parent (pillar of strength) in a weak, vulnerable state. The docs are saying that this will be the last stage before she passes, and I\'m kind of scared.
Even with all the warning and preparation, I don\'t think anything can get a person ready for losing a parent. I\'m hoping she\'ll wake up in the next few days and be responsive enough for me to tell her everything that\'s been going through my mind.
Like, it\'s funny, there\'s a billboard that I pass by (near the Q bridge) everyday. It says: "Did you feel that bump? Cancer kills. Check yourself" It makes me wonder - if she\'d seen that billboard a year ago, if things might have been different?
:idunno: I dunno, I\'m rambling, but I guess I\'m glad I got to see her for these last few months and say goodbye.
-
Robyn- I love you and am thinking about you.
-
...or New Jersey! ;)
-
I\'m sure that you can find some in Bridgeport :duck:
-
:lol: Thanks everyone! I\'m not really too bummed about the situation, since my mom has been so strong during the whole ordeal. Don\'t get me wrong - it makes me sad to know she will not be here but crying/whining/etc. will not help the situation out. Instead, I\'ll keep going forward and smiling until there\'s a reason not to! Btw, I am ser bummed about the shortage on midget hookers in Ct ;)
-
aw, just saw this for the first time and only read robyns first post. (Although while scrolling down this page I think I saw the phrase midget hookers?) :wtf2: :lol:
hope you\'re doing ok robyn! :)
-
positive vibrations...
robyn, way to keep your head up- wishin you the best
-
((((((((((((((vibes))))))))))))))))
-
Hang in there, this is really tough.
-
Robyn, my thoughts are with you and your mom. It\'s hard to stand by and witness something like this, I know, but you are in a terrific mindset and you can draw strength from that. :Hugs!!:
-
way to keep the positivity in such a trying time, robyn! i know its hard, and probably isn\'t around all the time, but its good to see that you\'re at least still positive so far! if there\'s anything we can do, just let us know!! (i used to have a line on a midget hooker... well, more just a midget ****, but i\'m sure she\'d take a couple bucks for her troubles if you insisted... but i\'ve lost her number it seems)
-
i hope to see you soon so i can give you the biggest hug ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also a good laugh with a yearbook from the early 90\'s xoxoxox
-
hmmm. how \'bout a few midget hookers, ellis-d on lights, and a few fungi\'s? ;) :lol: oh, wait, you\'re married with children ;)
jk, thanks for the thoughts, ryan and... I hope you make it to a bfast show sometime in the next decade, brotha!
good to see your still i goodspirits
-
I\'m going to try for Saturday, not looking good with my grandmother, but I\'ll try... Definitely if TB ever makes it back to NJ...

Robyn - my prayers go out to you. Let me know if there\'s anything that I can do to help and you got it...
-
Thanks, Trey... it\'s definitely been weird dealing with someone who knows that their life is close to being over. She looks okay, just very thin and frail. She\'s going kind of ballistic as of lately, but I think it will be ok in the long run. I dunno.
Either way, it makes me so thankful that I\'m still alive with a living, breathing heart and I challenge each person who reads this to do something a little deeper than they normally would. (and yes, that even goes for you, yoda -- complain, whine, & **** more than normal - just to do it! ;) ) Thankfully, we\'re all still here trying to work things out.
-
Awe, Robyn, my heart goes out to you.

Hey jill... I\'ll give you a quick update on things as of right now:
Her spinal surgery went well, but the doctors have all agreed that she\'s terminal. Her breast cancer has fully spread throughout her bones, and they are suggesting many different medications and chemo.
She has refused all forms of treatment, and is coming to terms with the fact that she\'s at the end of the road. As of the last week, when I fought with her to start some type of treatment, she hung up on me. When I called her back a few hours later, her phone # had been disconnected. I think I also need to start "accepting" her fate, but it\'s so difficult to think that she\'s just giving up. Anyway, thanks for thinking of me... I guess right now vibes are needed to help her (and me!) deal with what will soon come to be.

-
Any bfam is like family.....I send your mom Light in meditation.

wow...that\'s awful. i hope everything is alright. just stay strong and supportive...

RE: Chemo.
I know it may be a weird convo but don\'t leave the herbal remedies off the table. It does help and I really don\'t care about the legal ramifications when it comes to someone getting healthy and winning the battle.
I had it with my mom when my Aunt got diagnosed. I offered my help if they wanted it etc. The conversation with my mom was a little weird as she isn\'t really "hip" so my tip toe-ing around the subject didn\'t sink in, which was kind of funny. So I finally had to be blunt.
But really glad to hear that the first step of her recovery has been positive. That is a great sign
-
hooray for good vibes!!! hooray for robyns mom!!!
-
Wow - all the positive thoughts must have worked... for now! She just got out of surgery, and the doctor had really amazing news. They said she has made extraordinary progress already. She is in recovery now, and will start rehabilitation tomorrow afternoon. If she does alright with rehab, she can start chemo in 6-8 weeks to begin knocking the cancer out of her body.
Thanks so much for the great vibes & energy everyone! (((hugs)))
I was worried about you when I didn\'t hear from you Sunday.
I am so happy to hear the surgery went well!! and now she can work her back to complete health :) I know its hard to go through what your going through. If you need anything don\'t hesitate to ask.
lots of love
xoxoxox

Sorry to hear this news, Robin. My thoughts are definitely with you and your mom. Best wishes to her!
A similar thing happened to my grandfather back in the 80s. In his case, he was averse to going to the doctor. Finally couldn\'t live with some severe pain he was having and went to a doctor. Found out he had cancer and it had spread to his bones. Really a shame because the guy was in his 70s and was athletic enough that he would jog in the Oakland Hills.

I just got a phone call yesterday saying that my mom was in the hospital, and might not survive the next few days. Turns out she had breast cancer, but it has spread to her bones, spine, and liver. She\'s going in for surgery in a few hours and I could use some positive vibes to send her way. I\'m on my way to the hospital now, and will update any news I get. thanks :)
