What does it mean? UPDATE: very bad news... :(

Post Reply New Topic

So I got a call from my Uncle's wife today telling me to go to my grandparent's house tomorrow at 1. She didn't tell me why though... usually they are quite detailed in the reason.

I am started to get paranoid that something bad happened... and they are inviting me over to say it to my face.

What could this mean? I guess I'll find out tomorrow... but it's kind of making me nervous.

Is it your birthday? Maybe it's a surprise. How did she sound?

Nah, it's not my birthday or anything. She sounded kind of serious... but it was hard to tell.

Hmm... it probably is serious then. I hate it when people are so tiresomely mysterious. But some things are better said in person, it's true. Maybe it has something to do with a will. That's the first thing that comes to mind.

If something unexpected like that happens it takes me by surprise... it knocks me a little bit... so what I do in such a situation is try to calm myself physically... I try to tense up my muscles from toe all the way to face, holding each muscle, then after a few seconds release... this is a stress relieving technique. I've tried it and I find it helpful.

I doubt it is serious personally. If it was then I think they would want to see you sooner. It sounds more likely to be a family meet of some description to me.

Pugly, whether it's serious or not, and no matter what it is or how serious it is, you have us to talk to about it. I wish you luck!

The news is very serious and terrible. My Mom's fight with cancer has taken a turn for the worse...

Cancer is in her Liver and Bones... Doctors gave her 3 months to live. A couple more if she gets chemotherapy.

The cancer is very aggressive... her state has weakened dramatically in the last couple of weeks. She is normally a very strong and determined person...

I love my Mom.

In Canada (I forget where) there is a special, new treatment for cancer that WORKS that is not chemotherapy. I think it may be in Alberta. Research it! Quick! Now!

That sucks.

Sorry to hear that. My mother died last year from a heart attack after having been very disabled for a couple of years following brain tumour surgery. I was really surprised when I heard she had passed away, but I didn't feel much, she had died way earlier in my mind anyway.

So sorry to hear this, I cant imagine how it must feel.
I cannot think of anything reassuring to say because it is so serious, but I hope you manage to deal ok.

She was very healthy a year ago. She's only 45 years old...

I always thought she would outlive me.... that's how healthy she seemed.

Cancer comes and flips everything...

I'm close to my Mom, and hold no bad feelings for her.

I cried a lot, way more than I have ever cried. She hasn't even passed yet.

Largely though... I haven't really changed the way I've acted. I feel very sad when I think about it... but I have accepted it mostly. I am still in generally positive spirits... I can still joke around and find humor in things.

To live is to die.... it just sucks that it has happened so soon.

Oh my!

I'm so sorry, Pugly! How awful.

Words just don't suffice.

Thanks everyone for your responses, it means a lot.
