My mother dying...


sorabji.com: What are you afraid of?: My mother dying...

    It was never a fear of mine until I discover tonight that my mother is dying. I cant jump in my car and be with her in 10 minutes because I moved here to Florida a month ago. I cant call her because I am afraid to hear the words from her. I want to just jump on a plane right this minute but I'm afraid to see her. I'm afraid to be with her and I'm afraid to be without her. We were never that close but I'm scared to death to be without my mother. I wont talk to any of the family and friends that have called tonight because I'm afraid. I dont want to talk about it at all. With anyone. maybe I want to talk about it but not with anyone. And I dont want anyone talking to me about it. So if I type it, I get what I want and feel better.

    I totally understand what you are thinking as I am this very minute feeling the same. My Mom was hospitalized three weeks ago. She fell at home and was found two days later. They brought her around, operated on a bleeding ulcer and two weeks later she is still failing. No one knows what is wrong. I saw her last night...My God...what is happening...is she giving up. I cannot bring this thought of living without her to my family. Yes they understand but they don't understand me. My Grandmother died on a Christmas morning several years ago. This is really scaring me.

    How old is your mother?

    There is really nothing you can do if her time here is up.

    Just help her to be comfortable and know you are there for her.
