Just posting this because putting something to words helps in a way. She’s been battling stage 4 cancer for 2 years now. She was fine yesterday, talking and laughing. But she took a sudden turn for the worst last night and now they aren’t sure if she’ll make it through tonight and I have no idea what to do.
Edit: not that it matters but I’m only 22, it just too early
Update: she was denying the only thing they could do to possibly figure out why she suddenly declined at first, but now she has agreed to it. So that’s good, now we are waiting to see if they figure it out. Should know in a couple hours. Thank you all for such kind words
Update again: they’re going to keep her alive until more family comes in the morning. She will not survive. This will be the last update, thank you all again for your words. It warms my heart through this tough time that complete strangers can have so much empathy.

I’m sorry this has been so hard for you and her. I hope you find peace with what maybe coming and hope that it doesn’t come so soon. My prayers are with you and your family
I hope that you find peace, whatever happens. 💜
I really wish I could give you a hug right now. Fuck cancer.
Just sounds words of love to your mother in your mind and believe her spirit hears it. Say it out loud, and if you see her tell her in person. Thank her for all she’s done. Pray if you believe in it. What else can you do? Be with someone supportive.
Accept a hug from a stranger, and fuck cancer. I’m so sorry.
There aren’t any words that will make it better but just be there for her. Talk and kiss and cry together. Do whatever it is that makes you human. Read. Sing. Talk. Even if it’s bullshit.
I feel for you so much. My mom also left us after battling stage four. It’s so hard to be there witnessing her changes and knowing what is to come… I am so sorry you are having to experience this. I just wish I was able to do more myself. You’re there now with her. Do what you can.
I wish you the best 🖤
She loves you and would have been with you every step of the way, but sometimes life deals us a hand unseen. Love her here while you can. She’ll always be with you, how could it be any other way? I hope you’re surrounded with love.
I’m so very sorry that you are having to experience this. From a girl down in TX with a heart as big as it too I am sending you a huge hug💞.
I know this is scary and the idea of navigating life without your mom is not something people plan for. Everything you feel about this is normal. Please know it’s ok to be angry, upset, guilty, frustrated, and horribly sad. There is no specific way to process what’s happening grief and all that surrounds it is an ocean of emotions. Know it comes in waves sometimes small and other times it’s a typhoon trying to drown you. If you ever need someone to listen or you just want to talk about your mom and tell stories to keep those memories alive I’m happy to listen.

I’m sorry you’re experiencing this. It’s always too early, no matter your age. I lost my mom about a month ago. It happened hard and quick from Parkinson’s, over 4 days and she was gone. I can’t say much except my thoughts are with you.
I am so sorry. These kind of traumas and tragedies are so unfair.
Right now, there’s nothing you have to do except be with whatever you’re feeling. I’m holding hope with you.
I’m so very sorry. Your mom is lucky to have you, and you are lucky to have her – however long you get with her. May you both have peace.
hope all is better tomorrow
So sorry to hear. Cancer is a beast. I am glad she agreed to what they needed to do. We are all here should you have an update, good or bad. Positive thoughts and wishes for your mom. Sending digital hugs
