awww...I'm really sad and sorry to hear this!! I feel your pain...really hoping that things turn around miraculously! I'll pray for you. Meanwhile, I'll tell you what they say in airplanes,"In emergency landing, put on your own oxygen masks first before putting them on your loved ones"...In other words, you HAVE to take care of yourself through all these stressfull times and trying to take care of your mom. As hard as it it to prioritize yourself, now is the most important time to take care of yourself and make sure you get some time to do even 30 mins of workout, time to eat a few low-cal meals, and time to do just 1 non-thinking, relxing ritual. My best wishes to you and lots of hugs!!! 

Thank you 08. I appreciate the pointers. What you said is so true. I'll try to do my best! 

Sorry to hear about your mum,its easy to forget about ourselves when our loved ones need us,but you need to take care of your self, to give you the strenth to be there for them in their hour of need,ive been there time after time and felt the way you are feeling, my heart goes out to you,your mum and you will be in my prayers, 

(((((((mbhpro))))))) I can't imagine how tough it must be for you right now. I'll be thinking of you and sending strength vibes your way, friend. Please do take good care of yourself, even it it's the last thing on your mind right now. If you can squeeze it in, some exercise might take the edge of your stress and help you focus. My thoughts are with you and your mom.  

So sorry to hear about your mom. I'll remember both of you in my prayers. Hugs! 

Sorry to hear about your mom, I pray that things get better for her. I have to agree with 08 because when my mom was dying of cancer (at age 52) I would try to sneak in a workout just so I had somewhere to release the stress of taking care of her. I never ate well, but I did try to workout. Stay strong and take a few minutes a day for you, for your mental and physical health. 

MB, thanks for always supporting me. When I read your comment about dealing with it yourself, I just knew you were speaking of your Mom. I'm so sorry to hear it and I pray you have enough strength, love and support to get through this. I know how difficult it is to watch the decline. Although taking care of her is taxing, I'm glad you have had this time with her in the past and present. It will give you comfort in the end.....Take care my friend...  

Thank you SO MUCH my friends. Your comments mean more than words can say! 

Honey Bunch!!! :-( One day at a time MB is what you would tell me...I know that it is hard and stressful. Mom's are such a beautiful blessing and I know how much your momma means to you. Just do you best to watch your diet...I am praying for you and mom my dear sister!!! I love you~ 

Thanks much B-30.....love you too Sister....... (((HUGS))) 

Dropping by again to drop off some more ((((((hugs)))))) 

Amyrk.....thank you my sweet Friend! :-)  

I am sorry I wasn't around earlier to join hands with everyone else and let you know that my heart goes out to you.I hope journaling here and the love and support of your many FS friends is a comfort. The task now is just to do the best you can....(((((((MB))))))) -you and your Mom are in my heart and my head. 

Oh MB.... I'm so sorry... You and your mom are in my thoughts and prayers..... Hugs to you!! xo 

Aw ... I'm so sorry to hear your mom's health is declining. Very tough, even when you have been expecting it ... I don't know how we ever prepare for things like this. Just take it a step at a time, do the best you can to take care of yourself during this time, if it means a cup of tea, a few minutes of mindless magazine reading, listening to your favorite tunes. My thoughts are with you, hang in there!!! By the way MB ... I love the new photo!!! 

Put your arms around yourself and squeeze really hard. That's the big supportive hug coming to you from this wonderful group of friends here on FS. And hopefully through this difficult time you'll be able to take care of yourself a little. Just a little. But above all, do what you need to do for yourself and your mom, and relax about the small stuff.
