I request prayer last fall when my mom was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. I have been with her and she has been under hospice care since..there have been so many ups and downs, but mostly downs.
She has had a lot of health problems over the years including this..seems so wrong for someone at such a young age. At times I have hoped that there would be a miracle. It is a miracle that she is still with us and it is a miracle that she is in good spirts. But it is taking so much from her and today she told me that this is her time to go and she will be at peace when it comes. I didn't want to hear that for sure. but her body is so miserable and often the comfort methods we are using are just to help one thing and then something else starts bothering her. pain. fatigue.. Her coughing spells are horrible the fluid keeps building up in her lungs. I have been so angry at God at times. either anger or fear. This disease is so evil and no I don't blame her smoking cigarettes because she doesnt blame them herself. She doesn't blame her smoking habit.. because as nurse she has seen this in non smokers. But please keep her in your prayers. and our family.
i dont think i have much time left with her
God keep you. And her.
This is a brave thing you are doing, being with her now. Thank you.
God Bless to both and prayers for you and Mom.
Having been through this with my Dad and my Aunt, they seriously are ready and both died peacefully.
God Bless.
Prayers the Lord’s comfort and peace for you, your mom and all of her loved ones.
My prayers and thoughts will be with her, you and your family.

Prayers for you, too, ZG. There is nothing more difficult than being there for a parent or child at such a time as this. God keep you.
Mike, you know that I have prayed for your Mom for a long time. And I know how close you are to her. Of course you are devastated. We all die and it is up to God when our time is up. No one is promised another minute of life. You have been given time to say goodbye to your Mom, and that is a good thing. She is at peace with what lies ahead. Thank God for that.
Lord God, be with Mike’s Mom as she prepares to make the transition from this life to the next life with you. Keep her in comfort and peace of mind. Be with Mike and remove his fear as he faces the loss of his beloved Mother. Give him the strength to face the valley of death with you by His side. And give him the blessed assurance that you, Lord, will never leave him, but will comfort him as his life goes on with the blessings of his sweet wife and beautiful daughters. Thank you, Lord, for the care that you will give him. In Jesus’ name. Amen
One year I had two relatives pass away from cancer and Iost my faith. I’ve come back to Jesus in the past two years, please dont be angry at God he will comfort you. I’m praying for your mom and you and hope you stay strong.
I join in urgent prayer for your mother and for you!
I will pray for your mom that she will be at peace. Prayers going up for you as well. Stay strong for her and cherish each moment you can spend with her.
Prayers for both of you. I lost my mom last July.
I can’t explain it, but I can tell you from MANY experiences that this world, and the next are very close indeed. I too, lost my parents...and I swear as the day is long, they are so much closer to us than we think. So many things have happened where the odds are soooo unlikely, since they’ve gone; that I’m convinced we are still very close. Be happy for her every pleasure while she’s still with you and happy for her after she’s gone—no pain, in the arms of God, and watching over you for as long as you live....that’s pretty incredible. May God wrap His arms around you and help you get perspective and comfort in this transitional time and beyond.
May the Peace of God that passes all understanding keep her heart and mind in Christ Jesus.AMEN
thank you so much...reading all of this brings tears to my eyes.. im so thankfull for the support I have here on FR. it means so much to me.....
i try my best to trust in God..i just feel really crushed inside and cheated out of the future i want with her and the future i want my twins to have with their grandmother.. my grandfather had his mom until she was in her 90s... my mom is not even turning 50.. i think i needed to hear from her that it is just her time and its ok..I needed to hear that from her and not just the hospice nurse.. as much as it hurts..
You got it! Prayers up!
Prayers lifted.
I am keeping you and your family in my prayers.
Hugs
Prayers up for your mom, and for you too!
Prayers along ... God Bless
I know just what you’re going through because I am living it too right now.
Dear Lord, please heal this dear mother and restore her to perfect health. Help se_oh_yo_co in every way. Send strength, patience, peace, discernment and an abundance of faith to them both. Help them to each be exactly what the other needs them to be. Send them a powerful sign of your love and concern for them every day. I ask all this for them in Jesus’ name. Amen
