If you pray, please pray. DH left Thursday for South Dakota with his sister to see their mom. She's had ovarian cancer for at least seven years, with multiple surgeries and treatments. Her liver is now full of cancer and we know time is limited.
DH and his sister were estranged over the past 8-9 years due to her choices and treatment of people. They recently began talking again, so this trip has been an opportunity to heal their relationship. I am sure MIL would dance, if she could, over this development.
Anyway, DH is tasked with asking for her funeral preferences, picture finding for funeral program/slideshow, etc. I encouraged him to tell her it's okay to stop treatment and definitely okay to go to her final home.
We will take the kids next month for the holiday when they're off school.

Prayers for your family - this is a hard time, but with my dad, I got a lot of really cool memories out of him as he was telling stories in his last days.

So hard to do, but glad he has an opportunity to see her and reconnect with his sister.
I lost my best friend last month to an aggressive cancer. He was gone in 6 weeks, but we had a chance to talk about our friendship and what it meant to both of us, in essence saying goodbye. That brings me so much comfort. Hugs.....

Sending prayers for your family. It's good to know that your DH and his sister are trying to mend their relationship. It's important for family to be there for one another, and especially at a time like this.

Thank you all. I just talked to him and he said the visit is going well. MIL has another scan in two weeks. Her liver was so full of spots last scan they stopped trying to count them.

Prayers during this difficult time. Making end of life decisions can be difficult. I'm glad to hear that DH and his sister have been able to put aside their differences during this time.

(( hugs )) and prayers sent up... On a positive note, it's so nice that your DH and his sister are speaking again; and that it is making your DMIL happy!  I've read many stories about dying people holding on to life until they see a specific person(s). Perhaps your DMIL has gotten so much peace from seeing her children getting along, that she'll be more relaxed and feel as though she can let go. |
