Yes, this! It doesn't matter what happened 40 and 50 years ago between us. Mom did the best she could with what she had to work with and the fact of the matter was...she had a mental/emotional illness. She wasn't entirely responsible for the things that happened, and she did bring me into this world. Hopefully they can keep her comfortable during this time, I understand that bone cancer is very painful. I greatly appreciate the kind words from everyone here, far more than you can know.

Catrin, perhaps this is too specific, but my DIL's dad just passed away from the same scenario. They did an excellent job of pain management. He was in palliative care and I believe was treated very respectfully right through the whole thing.

I'm sorry to hear for your mom and for your family, Catrin.
I just heard last night that my father's cancer is accelerating. (Am wondering if/when I will change my plane ticket from this Nov. to sooner....)My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.

So sorry, Catrin. I missed this thread completely while we were traveling. My mother went through this with my grandmother and I pray I never have to face it myself. Stay strong.
