I am the daughter of a woman(72) who has a Brain Tumor. She was only given 3 years to live and has made it 6+ years. We have been blessed, but she also has IBS and I swear she seems like it is worse than the tumor. She is recently talking about killing herself and bad mouthing me and I do MOST of any one in my family to help her. Nothing is ever good for her either………..She is on Lexapro(depression meds). She did take 20 mgs and now she takes 10. I wish I could tell you this will solve it, but it doesn’t. She has good and bad days and my best times are when I am at work. My advice is if U have other family, get together and talk. Get a sitter, if you stay with her all the time and she can’t get out and if you can’t afford it, and have family, combine money to pay for it(that is what we do). Pray a lot! If you have a Church family(even if it is by letter), let them know you need their help. Take your Mom to a doctor she could talk with about her feelings. Most of all make time for yourself…………………! Bless You! - written 2 months, 1 week ago
