Just been through a cancer diagnosis myself (although nowhere near as serious) and it is not easy. Don't be too tough on yourself OK? My prayers go out to you, your mom and the rest of your family. xoxo Very sorry to hear this Nadine. Just been through a cancer diagnosis myself (although nowhere near as serious) and it is not easy.

But I'm not sure what to say. I'm sorry? Words of hope? Words of sincere condolences? I cannot find the words to type here, and I cannot figure out what to type to ease your pain. Perhaps there are no words. I think your instinct to spend as much time as you can with your mother is perfect. I genuinely wish all the happiness in the world for you and your family at this time. And being a practicing atheist, I'm not usually one to pray, but I'm sending my thoughts to something- whether it be God, Zeus, or the vast Universe. Best wishes. Dear Jolie,

Things can get hard, but you just have to focus on every little thing that is good or else your life just becomes worse. All my luck to your mom and you and I hope things get a little easier in the months to come I’m sorry to hear about your mom, after having many people pass in my life at a very young age, including my father when I was 14, i have found that the only thing you can do is be there with her whenever you can.

A bright bright spot in many people's lives. And who says your dreams have to come true at 27? (Or however old you are now) You are on your way more than anyone!!

Sometimes being in the moment is just giving in to the grief and forgetting the zen altogether. Allow yourself the anger as well as the peace. I know it must be so hard for both of you right now. There's just never the right time for something like this and it's one thing a new lipstick can't cure. :( Feeling sad with you....Jen, The Closet Therapist Prayers for your mother and my heart is with you.
