I'm sorry i haven't been back. My mom lost her battle October 5, 2016 at 6:58 pm. I was by her side all the way. It was hard to watch, but as soon as I bent over and told her Jesus loves her and so do I, she passed away within minutes.
Thank you all for your kind words. I pray for all going through this and all cancers. I pray for a cure. I wished I found you all earlier as it would have helped in my research with multiple myeloma as well as the support emotionally. Thanks again; my mom is now pain free for the first time in over 8 years.
My heart broke in a million pieces and I need to find out what I do from here now, as I've taken care of her all these years.
God bless all of you on this journey.

I am really sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you have been going through till this moment.
God bless her soul, She is in peace now and most importantly pain free, I wish some day there will be a cure for this nasty disease.

Re: Riding to the end with my mother (fighting since 2009)
Hello Stephanie,
I hope I may be permitted to say a few words. I am so sorry for your loss, I was there exactly thirty years ago this week. It was 12 October 1986 when my mother died, a mere 8 weeks after diagnosis. In fact, it would have been her birthday today, the 9th of October.
The tears represent the love. It is sad if a person dies but there is nobody to cry. Even after all these years, the tears can come, just from a photograph or reading something she had written in her beloved Bible which I have kept close to me ever since. After a time, we realise that our parents live on through us. Everything you do, Stephanie, you will do as though your Mom is right there next to you,
Now I fight the battle, the appointments, the blood tests. It is not easy, and I am glad that neither of my parents lived long enough to learn of my illness. It is a consolation.
Your Mom is at peace now. Nothing can hurt her ever again, for her myeloma is history.
God Bless you and your loved ones, Love from my family and myself.
