As many of you may have noticed I haven't been on TheRx since last weekend. And even today, it's hard to sit and type this. I do consider many of you "Internet Friends" and I'm also aware many of you do not care for me the least bit. But I do want to take the time to let you know My Mother passed away last Monday, December 10th.

Many may remember my thread that I started back in August, titled "Pray For My Mom." It had thousands of views and hundreds of responses. I was updating it daily for quite some time, then after a few very negative responses I just stopped giving updates and let it go.

In short this is what happened...My Mom Got Sick On JULY 31. She had Chronic Pancreatitis.
She spent 21 days in ICU. She had 2 surgeries. Her entire pancreas was full of dead cells and tissues. It ended up just dying off and turning into scar tissue, therefore she became a diabetic and had to monitor her blood sugar, take insulin and take enzyme pills to break down any food she was able to eat. My mom completely lost her appetite & couldn't eat anything, and ended up losing 53 LBS. She also became very depressed. Yet, My family & I still thought she was going to pull through, b/c the doctors told us that it would take up to a year for her to regain her strength and appetite. I could go on and on, but my mom lost her battle last Monday. She died in her sleep.

It's been a really rough week, but I'm trying to reflect on all of the good times, and carry on, but it's so hard....being an only child and never having a dad in the picture. Now I'm in for another battle as my mom didn't have a will, and I have a very, very evil stepdad. So not only am I hurting for losing my mom, I have a long road ahead of me dealing w/ legal issues concerning property, etc.



To My Rx Bothers: Do This For Me...............

If You Have a Mother, Give Her a Call and Say, "I LOVE YOU!" Or If She's Close By Stop In and Give Here a Hug and a Kiss. Tell Her It's From, Phil(Mr. Newlywed) She'll Understand. Moms Always Understand.



I Wish All Of You A Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year

Mr. Newlywed

Condolences to you and your family.

My own mother, rest her soul, passed away suddenly on December 15th (years ago) and it is always a sad event both my sister and I remember every Christmas more than any other time of year.

Been there. What helped me through that time is to try to think what your mom wants you to do. She does not want you to feel sad all the time and hurt your own family.

Try to remember the good times and be a good spouse, parent and friend. I know it is VERY hard but your feelings are selfish for your loss, now that she is gone. She does not want that for you.

Hope it helps and you and your family are in my thoughts.

All the best.

NW-

I feel your pain. My father passed away 1 year ago today.

He died in my arms. Sad, sad day for me here.

People say the pain eases after time, but it hasn't for me yet. My Dad was one of my best friends. He was a gambler as well and enjoyed life to the fullest.

I miss you big man!

my condolences Mr. NW, sorry to hear this. I don't believe anybody really dies, they just move on. I'm sure you'll reconnect with your mother at some point.

Stay positive and battle through this time.
