how do u cope with the news when a doctor tells u that your mom has 2-4 weeks left?
do u tell her the truth? or do u keep it from her and continue praying for a miracle, hoping that she wouldn't give up and lose faith?
the past 2 weeks have been the most mentally draining period of my life. end stage cancer is the worst terminal illness one can ever be diagnosed with. it was a tough fight that my mom has been battling with the past 20 months and like most cancers, it took a turn for the worst. i don't know how much longer she has, but i wanna thank those who has been smsing and keeping her in your prayers.
sometimes i wonder if i'm in self denial, or have i really prepared myself mentally for it. deep down, i still do hope God's listening.
and no, i'm not aneroxic. it's not easy shuffling between work, hosp and home, staying overnight in the hosp and not getting sleep because my mom has difficulty sleeping. the only time i get to eat is when i'm travelling between destinations and i have my meals in the car.
i'm really, really exhausted. how much faith can one have?

hey, i'm praying for you too. *hug*
don't give up
Dear Xiaohui,
I would just like to encourage you to keep hanging on to your faith in the Lord; for he is always with us. Once we lose that faith in Him, it's very easy to let the negative things overwhelm our lives.
Ps 91:14-16
"Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
Keep pressing on; keep believing. Reach into that inner core of strength that is fuelled by the Holy Spirit.
Trust in Him, and also surrender everything to Him.
Will be praying for your mom and you.
When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
Hang on there.
Jesus took everything at the cross.
just remember that.
AMEN.
