It started out with the doctors thinking she had Parkinsons, but it's progressing really fast and she has all the symptoms. I'm really close to my mom and she lives near me, it hurts my heart to watch her cry about this every day. I try to make jokes and say things to make her feel better, but I just don't know. No one lives forever and life sucks.i'm really sorry and sad for you to read this Sally. i've been through that, and all you can do is be there for her so later on you don't suffer from any guilt or "should haves". my Mom lived next door. it was so hard because we had just lost my Dad. just be sure to take care of yourself too, it's a life-changing time. sometimes i would get in my car and scream at heaven. you need release.
