August 23, 2009

Today is another day of crying together, and trying to laugh together.  Thank God for the great-grandchildren, Thomas and Rylie, who try to add happiness to everyone.

The hardest part for me is when Mom cries.  I try so hard to be strong for her, but I'm not succeeding very well at this point.  I now feel that everyday, from now until we lose her, will be grief-ridden and sad.

PLEASE READ THAT AGAIN.....I FEEL EVERYDAY, FROM NOW UNTIL WE LOSE HER, WILL BE GRIEF-RIDDEN AND SAD.

THAT STATEMENT IS WHY I'VE DECIDED TO WRITE THIS DIARY.

I know that I'm not the first person to go through a trying time like this.  I know many, many have gone through this with their parents, spouses, siblings, friends, and worst of all....children.  I feel I am engulfed in complete doom.  I know I will feel like this until we lose Mom.  It's hard to breathe, I don't want to eat, every smile is forced.  I want to curl up in a ball and cry.  I don't want to face anyone, talk to anyone.  The anguish overtakes me.  No one understands.  How can I help Mom when I am a complete mess myself?  I just cannot describe the sadness and hopelessness I am feeling.  It's overtaken every part of my body.  I will never be able to live a day normally during this time.  I'll just be like this til then.
