This may not help initially as the shock is probably all she can bear right now. But all you can do is be there for her - little things like taking her for a drive when she feels up to it, watching films on a rainy day - sat on the sofa wrapped in a blanket, a day when you give her the choice on everything that you do from what you eat, where you go, what you do. This helps. I know. And when she feels up to it making memories for when the inevitable happens - letters, videos, recording of her voice. The littler things sometimes matter more than the big ones.
Sorry to hear that we have two people in our family with cancer at the moment. If she is still mobile take her to a place she has always wanted to see. Hope you succeed in cheering her up. I wish you and her all the best:))
I found 2 books helpful, both by elisabeth kubler ross.Grief and grieving and death and dying. They still give me great support.
i would tell her that she should be thank full that he has a wonder full family at her side, because there are people that does not have any one with them, during there condition and to pray a lot to God, and tell her to do things she never did be for, and for her family to give her a lot of love , love, love.
my husband died of cancer in the colon last year in may, and i can say it isn't easy to accept this, but, we have to be strong
so that they can go thru this, believe me i'ts hard. so try to make her life as sweet as posible, God bless
The first and foremost task should be to make her mind accept the situation. Once you accept the situation, your mind start working on the things other then disease and fear associated therewith and she may fight back effectively.
If she is not able to accept, the next fall back would be try to create a belief that even though there is no options available with modern medicine, still there are several alternative and effective options available - mostly from India, China, Tibet etc.
a show on cable is an amazing hope for cancer patients
know the cause. its on the angel network,
also has a website.
the book, the secret, is wonderful
also... keep all breads, grains, cereals, pastas, rices, out of her diet. caner is a fungus and these things actually will feed it and make it stronger. LOTS of fruits and natural supliments (like pro biotics instead of antibiotics) will help starve the fungus.
