Morning. Winter is raising it freezing head here. The holidays are upon us again. After Halloween the rest of the holidays can fuck right the fuck off.

Have the best day you can.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

I am feeling sad because my oldest daughter is suffering from metastatic cancer and has just gone into hospice. While I realize it is normal and natural to feel this way, I am fighting to keep it from pulling me down to a place I don't want to be. I have already lost one son; it's not natural to outlive your children. So, I keep doing what I regularly do, which is browse the internet and occasionally post in the Lit forum. And playing golf twice a week. Fortunately, my other children are helping her and she has a good husband and friends. This is a comfort.

I realize she will probably pass away soon and not sure how I will handle it. I know it is not about me, but I want to be brave for my children. Shit...

My daughter is a fighter and is still holding on to life. Mostly she is sedated for the pain. Her husband and her siblings have maintained a vigilance with her for several weeks now and I feel for them as well. I hate to say that I hope she will pass, but it would be best for her, and her caregivers. It's like a fog that sits in one's brain. I can feel the depression trying to recapture me, but so far have pushed it away.

Hang in there, think of the great times you have had with her. Her presence was a blessing, be strong for her and for your family.

I am sorry you, your daughter and your family are going thru this. I wish there was something I could say or do.

It is a very difficult time. I am sorry.

I try to help lift my own and other people’s spirits. I hope these flowers will help in some small way. Perhaps they will brighten your day just a tiny bit.

Thank you for your update. I understand your hope for her passing and the end of her pain. I hoped for that as well when my mom was ill.
We’re here. Please know that and know you’re not alone in this.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

When my dad was bedbound after losing a foot and suffering alzheimers, I had a similar hope. He's passed, and I miss him intensely, but I'm glad he's no longer confused & suffering. I'm sorry you both had similar experiences - I'd not wish that on anyone.
