Seeking Support Update: July 10th, 2025
After a battle with cancer my mom peacefully passed away this afternoon.
I went to go shower since I was at my grandparents with her and didnt shower at all. The nurse and health aide were with her bathing her, so I figured I could take a couple hours to clean myself up. When I got home I got texts that her heart rate was extremely high with her oxygen low. Minute by minute they dropped. I was at home in the shower awaiting to go back to my grandparents but it didnt work out that way. I got a call that she was gone 10 minutes later.
I miss her already so deeply. I will see her in the future but I'd do anything to hold her hand one last time.💔 My heart hurts and words are at a premium.
Rest easy Mom, I love you and I will see you again. ❤️

I am sorry for your loss. I know even when our loved ones have cancer and we anticipate the end, we are truly never ready for it. I wish you peace and healing.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure it helped your mom to know that you loved her and supported her.

So sorry for your loss, it’s never easy.
if it helps at all, when my Mother in Law was at the end of her life (lung cancer in the lung and brain, same as me!) we were all afraid to leave, look after ourselves, do anything to leave her alone, the staff pulled my husband and I aside and said not to be afraid, we were there when she was awake, but often at the end they somehow “wait” to be alone. It could be a quick trip to the ice machine. But that’s when they’ll go. It gave us a little peace to hear that, and it’s proven true a few other times, trust that she knew your love was there.
