(10,064 posts)31. Thank you. And I'm so sorry you lost your mom in that way.
I guess there isn't an easy way to lose a loved one, but some ways take more strength.
Neither my brother-in-law, my husband, nor I are believers, so we can't turn to God. We have to look to medical science and to one another for support.
Jim would turn to mother nature. Being unable to enjoy the great outdoors would weigh heavily on him, even if he weren't facing such a difficult battle.

Neither am I, mainly because of how religion is used by so many to take advantage of others.
