...Really sad tonight...

[shais_mom]

I am so sorry to hear this Anna - you and Mark will be in my thoughts and prayers.

You have my prayers during this very difficult time.

All of us will be here for you - and Mark DOES know that you are there for him too.

Oh Anna, I have shivers down my spine. I can totally relate with your emotions. Watching those you love suffer so long and being helpless is unbearable and heartwrenching. Be there for her, comfort her and tell her how much you love her. I will keep her in my prayers . Please PM or email me if you want. It's still "fresh" for me too.

Best thoughts and wishes to you and your family Anna. Get strength from those you love.

I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL; it's a wonderful thing to have someone like that in your life and horribly sad when they leave. I can relate to what you are feeling because my MIL was like that, too. She was just as precious as my own mother and I still miss her to this day.

Lots of prayers going up for her, your husband and you.

(((((hugs)))))

Anna, I'm so so sorry. I wish there was something I could say that could help you. Just know that you can come here and talk about things whenever you need to. We all care. I will keep you, Mark and your mother-in-law in my thoughts and prayers.

Anna, I am so sorry. I can't imagine how hard it is to keep up the "happy" face when you are there. I don't think it hurts for you to let her see how emotional it is for you because you love her so much. At this stage of her illness, I'm sure she already knows what her future is and there is no reason to pretend, but constantly reminding her of happy times, how much you appreciate how she has treated you, etc could do nothing but make her feel good. Cry together, laugh together and try to keep your chin up. I know she appreciates the fact that you and Mark are there for her.

We'll keep you all in our prayers.
