Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
Jen,
Please know we do understand your fears, fatigue, and frustration having to sit ideally by while your mother is in the battle of her life. The helplessness of it all is overwhelming, and fear is exhausting. I met your mother 2 years ago. She is an amazing women, vulnerable and honest about matters. I found her so refreshing and counted myself in awe of her. I imagine you have inherited a few of those fine qualities. You sound brave and selfless like your mom. Sending love and prayers to both of you.
