View Full Version : I'll be taking a break
tlc38tlc38 08-03-2018, 10:59 AM Not sure how long it'll be before I get back to posting regularly.
My mama is in the hospital with a bacterial infection on top of lymphoma, so I need to take some time away from media and focus on God, family, and getting things in order. My dad is disabled so I also care full-time for him; I have a full plate but I'm a firm believer that God doesn't give you anything you can't handle.
Please say a prayer for her.
You guys are the best!
Svenfan1234 08-03-2018, 11:10 AM I'll be praying!
AMackII 08-03-2018, 12:01 PM I’m praying for you tlc38tlc38. I hope your mother will soon to be healed & recovered anytime.

YOU are the best! :wave:
I took some long breaks too while my mom who has dementia was in and out of hospitals and rehab centers while battling infection as well so you have my every sympathy. The stress you feel is overwhelming but God gets you through. So sorry to hear that on top of everything else she is also battling lymphoma. My mother is also now physically disabled as well as a result of her battle with infection and so I can relate to your situation with your father too.
God Bless you for taking care of your parents the way you do. I had no idea you had so much on your plate, being a caregiver is so challenging and I will say a prayer for her of course and you and your father too.
Sending lots of love your way...:heart::heart::heart:
Sending lots of love and prayers your way. :bighug:

Mr. Television 08-03-2018, 01:05 PM Your Mom is in my thoughts and prayers. I hope everything turns out okay.
MrCleveland 08-03-2018, 02:06 PM Sorry to hear this...
I hope your parents get better...
Theda Bara 08-03-2018, 04:25 PM You and your mom are in my prayers. Many warm blessings to your entire family. You are not alone when it comes to dealing with sick or disabled parents or loved ones. My mom is also ill and has been for quite a while, it is can be quite distressing. Anyway, you are in my daily thoughts.
:)
mets82 08-03-2018, 04:30 PM Believe me, TLC, I've been down the road your on. Just check back in once in a while so we know your ok. You will be in my thoughts. :wave:
PhoenixAcres 08-03-2018, 04:33 PM I hope your mom gets better, tlc. You and your family are in my prayers.
tlc38tlc38 08-06-2018, 07:39 AM Mom not doing good. Cancer spread to her brain. They moved her to hospice on Saturday. We wanted to take her home and do at-home hospice but they said she wasn't a safe transfer, which probably at-home wouldn't have been ideal since my dad's also disable and prone to strokes and seizures...her being there would be too hard on him. I've stayed with her the past two nights. I just hope she's not in pain. She's so young, only 64. If anything this is not in vain; yes, I will miss my mama but it's brought me closer to God and my family which would make her happy.

OH Nuts! 08-06-2018, 09:56 AM I am so sorry to hear this tlc38tlc38. You are one of my favorite posters, and I can imagine how stressful all this is. You and your mom are in my prayers. Take care of yourself! God Bless
(Sorry for not posting sooner but haven’t been on the boards that much lately. Wished I knew your first name as referring to you by your screen name seems a little impersonal. I know you’ll be a mountain of support to your mom.)

I'm so sorry Trent. 64 is young. That's the age my Mom was when I lost her. It's so hard watching your patents suffer. Continued prayers to you and your family. :(
MISST3 08-07-2018, 08:33 PM So sorry to hear about your Mom and Dad's illnesses. Sending many prayers and support your way!
tlc38tlc38 08-08-2018, 11:52 AM Mama passed on this morning. I'm sad but so, so happy that she's rejoicing with the LORD now and she's out of her weary body.
For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people;
He will beautify the meek with salvation.

P.S. I was not aware when I clicked on the thread
that your mother had indeed passed away. May she
rest in peace and may god comfort you in your time of
grief and sorrow, Trent.
tlc38tlc38 08-13-2018, 01:35 PM We laid her to rest yesterday. She had a beautiful service with family members singing "The Old Rugged Cross" and "In the Garden", two of her favorite hymns. Her favorite preacher was also available. I honestly don't think it could've went any better.
I'm doing ok but it still seems like a dream. Just trying to stay busy with dad.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. But I truly believe your mom is in a better place, and that your family will be reunited again this time forever. Positive thoughts to you and your dad. :heart:

I'm praying for both you and your dad.

Happy memories are all I do have of her, so, yes, that's helping tremendously.

Just saw this thread and I'm so sorry for your loss Trent. My aunt passed away 2 years ago of the same thing. I know it is hard. Sending you prayers to you and your family.
OH Nuts! 08-21-2018, 12:03 AM Trent, my deepest condolences. I can imagine the sea of feelings going on. Sadness at her passing, but relief she’s no longer suffering, exhaustion (physical, emotional) from all that had to be done. Please forgive this belated response, I’ve been on SO very sporadically these last two weeks (work’s been insane). God Bless and take care of yourself. Many here are fond of you.

Sorry to hear about work being like that Rich.
tlc38tlc38 08-21-2018, 07:15 AM Thanks again to everyone for the kind words.
I still feel like I've not had time to grieve; things have happened so fast and with me caring for my dad, there's no time to slow down...That can be a good thing or a bad thing...eventually I'll have to breakdown.
