Hi Helen
Thank you for the warm welcome, when we saw mom we were not expecting what we saw, i'm not sure what we thought we would see, I can't imagine what my brothers went through, they saw her the next day i came in to hte city 2 days later and it was aweful.
In one sense I think this has made my brothers and I much closer if we had lost mom we would only have each other, we have aunts and uncles and a grandma but we would have had to depend on each other so much. this has brought the whole family closer we have always been close but now ..........
I'm glad you are doing well now and hope that it has been a fairly easy road for you. As easy as this aweful time is it sounds like you had good support as well. I think that is half the battle support and your own mind set.
I think my mom has done so well because she has never really thought what if? It was always ok I'm going to beat this thing lets get on with it, what do I have to do next? Her positive outlook was a saving grace for us all, she is such a strong lady I'm not sure I would have been able to go through what she has and be where she is now happy, healthy and back to work. She amazes me everyday and maybe I don't say it enough but I am very proud of her.
