I don't know what will help you cope but if you want to make her last days as good as possible for her, try to find some strength within and show it. It will greatly ease her burden if she sees a son she is confident has the strength and fortitude to carry on without her.
Thanks. It is exactly what everyone is saying, including hospice. Mom actually did her best to make me smile today and did so. Right now I am calm because of that, but I know I will fall apart again. Right now what I need is voice chat and or phone and some have already volunteered that. Never been into PMs online.
Today we thumb wrestled, more that she held my hand and wouldn't let go, but that was her way of saying she loved doing that with me. We also played blackjack. I did the dealing and reading her cards for her and also played Yahtzee, again I did all the writing and rolling of dice. The biggest thing that helped was her smiling. Being able to post about all this in this thread helps too.
To everyone in this thread, thanks for all the responses.
