We're also facing cancer. My father in-law has been diagnosed with bladder cancer and my 25 year old niece has started chemo for stage 2 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I don't know how people face these things without Christ.T. L.

Take pictures. I have pictures of my mother in her last days. I cherish them. They also create a catalyst for writing. My sister recently posted a pic for mother's day on my FB page of my mom and us girls together while she was in a hospice. I have the same photo but hadn't looked at it for some time. It brought back a lot of wonderful memories even though it was a sad time. <br /> Vickie Stamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078923845655016294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-25946382536884491262014-05-11T16:01:14.984-07:002014-05-11T16:01:14.984-07:00Thanks Sharon for filling our corners with a small...Thanks Sharon for filling our corners with a small taste of what's happening in yours. Interesting how God can round out the corners and move into all the spaces. May it be so as you walk this journey with your sister, her daughter and granddaughter.<br />Journals are so helpful when we look back and note all those mini-miracles we've recorded.<br />Jocelyn Fairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15767357831759356035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-72362218861893851322014-05-11T11:31:33.858-07:002014-05-11T11:31:33.858-07:00Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Bobbi, Vickie, a...Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Bobbi, Vickie, and Tracy. I do need the prod to write in my Journal, even today. I have been journalling about what is happening in my life, but not as frequently as I'd like to. With your encouragement, I will spend more time on this writing. <br /><br />The last couple months I've been writing a more spiritual journal with Bible passages that speak to me, intercessory prayers for loved ones and friends, and prayers of thanksgiving when God works those mini miracles, and big ones too, and this cool cat lands on all four feet time and again. God is great at working out the details when I can't see the around the corners. <br /><br />Blessings to all of you mothers!<br />Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-81362650254626131552014-05-11T09:36:04.386-07:002014-05-11T09:36:04.386-07:00Journaling is my go-to for stressful situations.

The only problem is, I find i don't write in it as often when things are going 'right' - which makes it sound like I'm depressed all the time when I look back at it.! On another note, I see myself in what you are doing, sharon. We talk about downsizing, but like you, we have a lot of those same 'collectibles'... Finally, serious illness sure does put things in perspective, doesn't it?Tracy Krausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066853243062725525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-33459632563306011872014-05-11T05:55:39.689-07:002014-05-11T05:55:39.689-07:00I agree Bobbi Junior.

I don't have brothers so I can't comment on that but I do find that women tend to share more of their feelings with one another. I'm glad that you are spending time together with family. it is really important.<br />Blessings!Vickie Stamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078923845655016294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-65668237408699896972014-05-11T05:10:52.599-07:002014-05-11T05:10:52.599-07:00Sharon, you say this is a corner amongst many that...Sharon, you say this is a corner amongst many that is preventing the kind of writing you would normally be doing. May I suggest you journal about your part in this unfolding story, as you walk alongside your sister and niece?<br /><br />Many Christians find themselves in your position and feel helpless, angry, and lost. One day your journal could become a story of support that could be published as a help to those just starting the journey of walking alongside. It's a needed book. You have the gift of writing, and God is giving you the material. Something to pray about.<br /><br />God bless<br />BobbiBobbi Juniorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16366421883424533929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-18944226437127609122014-05-10T18:49:59.758-07:002014-05-10T18:49:59.758-07:00Thank you, Vickie, for your encouraging comments a...Thank you, Vickie, for your encouraging comments and for your prayers. Today a bunch of my family met in Leduc for a visit together. We were three out of four sisters, plus some of our kids, nieces and nephews.

My mother passed away from lung cancer nearly five years ago. I pray that things go well for your sister as they did my mother. Glad you found comfort when you spoke with your sister. The bible blesses us with comforting passages along the way. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Vickie Stamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078923845655016294noreply@blogger.com
