I need help, guys. You were so good to me when my father died this past January.....but now it looks like my mother is also starting to fade. She has had a series of high blood pressure incidents, called TIAs. She is experiencing some memory loss and confusions, but the kicker is that her kidneys are starting to deteriorate.

Her Doctor says anywhere from two months to a year, possibly longer with good diet and constant attention with the meds. But to be real honest, I am starting to feel real dispair and great sadness.

Prayers, smoke, anything you can do....and maybe something for me to hold on to what little sanity and strength I have left. It has taken such a long time for me to really understand and appreciate what my mother has done and means to me....I wish I had been a better son :(
 
I"m so sorry to hear that. We will lift you and your family up in prayers daily. Take care of yourself, too. :(
 
Deathdancer,
Please go tell your mother you love her and anything bothering you. Do it soon.
Prayers from Montana. You hang in there. Talk to us, talk to your friends.

Rene? Hang in there buddy. Munks advice is so true. We are all praying for peace and strength for you, and for your mother.

God Bless

What's past is past. Live life now - be the son you wish you were. Don't get so bogged down in regret that you lose sight of the time you have. Consider this a wake-up call. Any of us could die tomorrow, and we might leave a thousand things undone. You got a warning that you need to make peace with yourself and your past. You have a tremendous chance to support your mother in a very difficult time. As strange as this may sound, enjoy it. On the good days and the bad, remember that you are doing exactly what you need to do - being there like a good son.

Smoke up for you both.
 
Rene,
We're here for you. Tell your Mom what she means to you, and be kind to yourself. Not a one of us has done all that we could. Be strong friend.
