Go to SCARY AND ODD DREAMS

- Go to I have stopped dreaming ....

I can't imagine what it must be like to watch your mother in that condition. I'd be terrified completely. I have the childish view that my parents are going to live forever, along with my dog and cat...
With regards to your lack of dreams. Dreams are our method of dealing with our subconscious issues. Maybe you're not dreaming because you're dealing with them consiously - the effect your mother's cancer has on you. You subconsious maybe won't let you dream because you are afraid of being in any reality that your mother is not in.

..do we want to dream.. or simply not remember?
I relate to what you're saying... my mother isn't doing so well either... We know that it's going to come... is one ever really ready for that? ..be it a loved one.. or ourselves? ...like you, just questions ..hang in there, pal ..that's all we can do...

Hi...
I know the feeling, I took care of my mother for four years and the last six months were terrible, she didn't have cancer or any other terminal illness, she was just tired and didn't want to be here anymore... she had a tough life... even though she was a fighter at the end she gave up. Fortunately (?) I was the one who stood by her at her last minutes (we are 3 sisters) and I watched her go very calmly... I was very sad but at the same time happy for her because I knew she finally was where she wanted to be. She was 83 when she died in March last year. I still miss her... I am sorry about your Mom. God Bless her and you.
