Lori, I am so sorry. I have been there. The morphine and patch worked ok for my mom. Just watch for what is called breakthrough pain. I know this isn't going to be easy. We are all here for you and your family. Love, Karen

Lorie,
I will say a prayer for you and your mom today. It is so difficult to watch your mom suffer. My mom also had SCLC and her decline was very rapid. I pray that the morphine works and she is painfree and at peace. This is a terrible thing to have to go through as a young daughter. Just being there for your mom is a great gift, and I know she feels your love and support.
Stay strong and please know we are all here for you.

Lorie:
It is truly difficult to watch those we love so much, suffer in any way. I know where you are at in the process and recall how I felt when my dad took a turn for the worse. You suddenly realize that your prayers have been answered in a different way that you had hoped. It isn't easy, but, you can get through this.
Loving prayers for comfort go out to your mom this morning and pray God releases her from her pain soon. Hugs Jolene

So sorry to hear about your Mother. Know how hard it is to watch this sudden decline. I went through it six months ago with my Mother who had colon cancer. In the last chapter, Hospice was a God-send. They knew how to manage the pain much better than the traditional medical world. Have you considered Hospice?

My prayers go out to you on this difficult journey.

Hugs,
Sheila

I just lost my mom to gallbladder to liver cancer last month. I looked after her at home till her dying breath. It is the hardest thing I've every had to do; watching her in pain that even the medication often couldn't touch. For the last couple of weeks of her life the only time she woke up (because she was so drugged) was when she had pain. How sad. But I'm at peace that I did all I could. I was with her day and night...as much as I could be. Be there for your mom and tell her you love her as much as you can. God bless you during this awful time and give you the strength you'll need. God be with your mom as well...help her not be in pain and grant you all peace.
