Since I am (at least at this point) low income and we live on opposite coasts in the USA.
Have a one way plane ticket to come back to see her, thanks to a family friend, but, I'm trying to save that for my birthday in just under 2 months or coming back for her memorial/burial which most likely will happen before then.
It's very very sad and almost heartbreaking. Very aggressive form of cancer that almost came out of nowhere. If you're in a particular situation, how did you hold up? It's not like she lives somewhat close where trips every weekend (or even every other would be somewhat feasible).
Thanks.
Don't wait. Go as soon as you can and stay as long as you can. Better to see her while she's still around than to pass up that opportunity before it's gone forever.

I've already have been in her city for 5 weeks. Next week will be 6, have to go, since I have no money and need to start working again. Good luck trying to do that and focus with a dying mother.
I don't know what your religious beliefs are but I truly believe that you will see her again and that she will remain near you in her spirit form until then. Prayers for your difficult transition and hers.
Beenhereandthere, I am sorry to read this and can only imagine the pain and heartache you must be experiencing. I'm glad you had a chance to visit with your mom and spend quality time with her. No matter where you are or where she is, those memories live on in your heart. All the best to you and your family.
I understand completely what you are going through on all levels. Lost my Mom six months ago. 3000 miles away, not sudden yet unexpected and could not go to the funeral. Being with your Mom in her final days is much more important, to me than attending a service after she is gone. She knows you love her and so does your family, but you still have to deal with your own life and situation and what is right for you. Are you more concerned what the family will think if you are not at the service or how you will feel?
