Your encouragement means the world to me. The cancer I've found out today is in the top and bottom lobe of her left lung. You see, this is her 4th bout with cancer. Her right lung is gone and she's had cancer removed twice from her neck, which was not even the same type of cancer she'd had in her lung. The top lobe of her lung the cancer is more than likely grown into the arteries of her heart. This is one reason the dr. said its inoperable. She's tired, and she's been thru so much in the past with her radiation treatments. She said said she's just going to lay down at the feet of her Saviour, her life is in her hands. I definitely wont sway her in any way. I just want to be strong for her, and my two younger sisters, and my older brother is the biggest baby of us all, "smile". So I am trying to be positive and strong for them, and then go hide and fall apart for awhile. My mom is such a sweet gentle soul, and a strong Christian woman. We spoke last night and she's looking forward to the day God takes her home. But she has such a strong personality, she's the foundation of our home. I am so distraught, and am ashamed to say I had to go to the dr today to get some nerve pills just to help me quit crying. Please know your prayers mean so much and I have complete confidence in each prayer that is given to our Lord. I feel like I'm talking in circles. I love you all so much. I don't know what I'd do without each and everyone of you. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
~~Blessings, Mikki Jo

Mikki, I am so sorry to hear all that your dear mom has been through and all the worries you carry for your family.
Bach Flower Remedies have a wonderfull product named "RESCUE REMEDY' which helps go through all sort of emotional distraught. It is made with flower essences. Maybe having each member of your family carrying their own little vial would help. They also have one named STAR OF BETHLEEM which is good when we need to surender to an higher power, maybe this one would help your mom more specificaly ?
I use the Bach flowers a lot and they have been a wonderfull help for all of us, human and animals.
You and your family are in my prayers, hugsssssss.

Praying for God to comfort all of you, bring you the strength you need for each day, and the love to guide you in your care of your mom.
I am not sre how advanced your mom's lung cancer is, but I have heard of miracles with chemo and radiation for this.

Also, OLIVE is giving physical and moral strengh when in need, works well for agging people who become frail. Maybe would be good for your Mom. Read on the web page, they explain what each essence is doing and on what sort of emotion they act and help balance, if one "speaks" to you, go for it.

Mikki Jo,
I have just recently joined the farmgirls, but when I read your posting, it made me sad, and I hope that you will feel comforted. There is a part of a poem by William Wordsworth, that I have always found to be a source of strength to me in my little spots of adversity. It goes like this.."There is a strength in the power of love, 'twill make a thing seem bearable, that else would overset the brain and break the heart."
God bless and keep you and your Mummy and the rest of your family,
with love, Cilla |

Praying for you all Mikki
I second the use of the Bach Flower Essences for emotional/stressful times. It is wonderful to have a non-addictive source of calming. We use it here a lot.
