I was 17 when my dad passed and then my mom 6 mo. later. There were many words left unspoken, and I do my best to now say what needs to be said. Thanks for sharing your story and I am sorry for your loss. Comment

I'm glad you and your Mom found peace with one another. Kristine, It’s always sad to lose a loved one so early in life. I’m glad you and your Mom found peace with one another.

So sorry you had to loose your mother while she was still so young, but so glad you had an opportunity to make things right first Why is it that so often we don’t take these steps to mend relationships until something horrible – like cancer – happens?

I was not that close to my mother either and she died at the age of 58. She had cancer of the pancreas and it was terrible to see her suffer for 11 months. I have really missed her.

It is tough when we lose someone that close to us, I know from experience. There is never anything we can say that can totally make the pain go away but the one thing I have found that helps is family and close friends. Comment So sorry to hear that.

Many of us never get a chance to realize that we need to make amends, and thankfully that happened for you, Kristine. Cancer is definitely a nasty, ugly disease, but I'm glad all of us are sharing our stories and trying to do our part to help. I think it, not only provides comfort for all of us, but also does a lot of good for everyone else who is reading as well.
