Re: Very exhausting experience....

[Guest guest]

I am so sorry. You must be feeling a huge range of emotions right now and that

is never easy to deal with. We all miss the mothers we will never have. I know

part of the dream dies long before they do, but there is always still a glimmer

of hope. It must be hard for you to know it is finally coming to an end at last.

I hope through it all you can find peace in time. In the mean time, don't let

her run you ragged LB

me. I realized that even though our relationship has been rocky over the years,

all that drama has been such a common thing that there will be a huge void when

she dies. I am an only child and my father was never in the picture, everything

falls on me. Not a pleasant experience! And now that she's out of the hospital

and starting to get her strength back, she's going back to her frustrating,

demanding self and it's so hard to feel sympathy and compassion for someone like

that.
