How does one deal with the time that comes right before a mother's death? In the months, weeks, or days, leading up to that sad event, how is one supposed to enjoy life? Can anything make it easier on a son's unwanted expectation?

Damned death, why must it be a part of life!

Do we not from the moment of birth start the process of dying...for some death simply comes sooner than for others. Some are given decades times several ...whilest others perhaps fleeting moments, perhaps a decade of seconds...you know, like 10 seconds... *sometimes I speak in a way that others not understand so I..well..anyhow...Live Life To The Fullest realizing the fullest is far from perfect...

I am sorry to hear that. I can only agree with Connie. Spend as much time with her as you can, try to make her smile even.

I am also sorry to hear about your impending loss. I say spend as much time with her as yu can, and do the things she loves to, the things you did when you were younger, and just spend time.

Tell her you love her every chance you get, and forget about any bad times there may have been and try talking about the good times with her.

From somebody who is going down the same road possibly depending on how her rehab goes, I'd agree with the others. "Be there!" Really listen to her. Really talk to her. You have my thoughts and prayers.

I am really sorry to hear about what you are going through. I know it han be extremely hard losing a member of your family and it can be equally hard at the same time to stay in controll of yourself. As the others said, it would probably help if you talk about nice things with her and make every moment special for her and the rest of your family while she is alife.
