I am so sorry to hear this about your Mom.
Just love her all you can with the time that's left. I hope she will get more time than they think.

I'm sorry that you have to deal with this and if there is any good coming from this, it would be that you know what the future holds and now you have the opportunity, and a little time to say your goodbyes. That's not much of a consolation, but it will mean a lot to you as you get older.

I'm so sorry for the bad news. Maybe she will get more time then they think. They gave my Mom 3 weeks, last June, and she is still very much here. Have hope.  :flower;
