I am just writing to let you guys know that I may not be on line for a while but I will be back. My mother is dying of cervical cancer. I have been at the hospital with her for the last couple of days. She is going into Hospice care tomorrow. So I plan on spending as much time with her as I can. I will check in here from time to time. I just lost my dad this past August and now I am losing my mother. It is a very stressful and emotional time so I don't know how well I will be able to do counting calories and exercising. But when all is said and done, I will be back full force. So every one take care and I will check in from time to time.

Stay healthy every one!!!!

    You're taking my prayers with you.

    If possible find time to keep up some type of exercise routine. It will help you to release stress.

    If possible, find time to take time for yourself every now and again. You need this to maintain your sanity.

    Get the most of the remaining time with your mother.

    Take full advantage of the hospice services. They're very experienced in this. Ask all the questions that come into your mind.

    Be your mother's advocate. If somethings not right, speak to the nurse: they can do a lot to keep mom comfortable.

    Please take the Lord with you.

    I am so sorry to hear about your mother, Charlaine. I'm sure it will be a great comfort to have you there with her as she makes this transition. Don't be afraid to lean on the hospice folks - they are there for all of you and in my experience are a great comfort for the entire family.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God bless.

    Take care of yourself and your family. We will all be thinking of you until we hear from you again.
