Not sure what to talk about...

[grenbear]

As many of you know, my mom has been terminal with cancer. Yet I know I need to vent, I need to talk about it, I need to do something, but what. I cry often, I sometimes will just stare into space, thinking of things I wish I could tell her, but I want to be there

You need to just go and say and do what you have to do. See her, talk to her, be with her and say goodbye. You never know when it will be to late and you'll hate yourself if you put it off thinking there's time.

Your an adult.

This is not just for her, it is also for you.

Can you do 2 trips? If not, GO NOW.

Better to be early than to miss her. She wants you to be happy, you need to see her and talk with her while she can, so you need to go to be happy, her own wishes are filled by you going now rather than when it's almost or too late. Sometimes you have to do things for YOU, and you know she WILL be glad to see you and have you near. Just tell her you couldn't wait, don't tell her your coming, just GO, drive if you have to, the train works, but GO.

Than again, I had the gal at NWA that was helping me book a bereavement fare to try and get to see my Dad before he died last year that he past while she was checking with the hospital. She was great, really great, but I was just too late. My view might be tinted.

FMLA - check into it at work. Fill out the paper work. Federal regs, you can take up to 12 unpaid weeks off for personal emergency, including caring for family.

Do what you need to be ok with yourself. And if you need anything shout.

OMG that is just so frustrating and sad to hear. I wish I was there to hug you and let you cry. I'm so sorry.

Go see her, my dad was kind of the same way. Didn't really want us to see him the way he was. I respected his wishes, but regret that I didn't go see him more often. *HUGE CUBBY HUGS*
