My aunt is dying. She's not the aunt that I've talked about so much in these forums, that's the middle sister. She's the oldest sister, and I never got as close to her as I could have. She's a complicated person. The worst part is, she lost consciousness before my mom and I could call her to say goodbye. I'm devastated, and my mom is barely hanging on, though she's being strong and stoic on the outside. And I have to leave for work at the job I just started a couple weeks ago, but when I'm done I'll be at my mom's side.

Really sorry to hear your news Fickles. All the very best and sending vitural hugs in a time bubble that should be with you before I typed this.

Thanks, guys.

She's still being watched. We're simply awaiting the inevitable.

I am full of regret for all the chances I wasted at getting closer to her. She had nothing against me, but I had problems with the way she treated a lot of close family members, and I also held a grudge against her for not being there for me during my early twenties. Young and foolish I was. My mother told me later that, at that time, my aunt was mediating between her son and her husband, and it really had nothing to do with me. Too late now for anything. Sigh.

I just spoke to my mom.

My aunt is gone. She is now at peace and has reunited in heaven with my grandma and grandpa.

As much as I try to reassure myself and my mom, I know that the days ahead are going to be rough.

Thank you, Ibby. I can't afford to take off another day from work, but I'll be going in knowing that my wonderful co-workers will be comforting and acommodating me.

Sorry, Sweetie. hug

Of course, we're here for you, but if you need to take a break and spend time with the family, I totally get it.

Thank you, Cleome. I might do that at some point, but for the moment it's very therapeutic and cathartic to keep on posting here in these beautiful forums. hug love

Thank you so much, Sarky.

My mom and I are indeed both drawing on reserves of inner strength we never knew we had.

Guys, hey. I, this is the only place I felt I was able to talk about this in the open.

My mom's situation has gotten worse. Ann can tell you guys I've been dealing with my mom being hospitalized twice this month due to an infection caused by a bile accumulation. They drained like eight liters out of her last week, which is like someone shoved four whole bottles of soda into her abdomen. Last Saturday was horrible; I had to leave work five minutes after clocking in to stop her from trying to leave the hospital.

And today they dropped a bombshell. My brother and I went to the hospital and sat down with our mom as the doctors told us how the cancer has spread in her abdomen. It's now near her colon, and the growth on her liver's nine centimeters long. They can't do chemo until they take care of her infection and the leakage near the drain they put in her, but, they're not even sure if the chemo will be effective.

I had to hold my brother while he cried in the hospital hallway.

I'm, um, not doing great right now.
