Some sad news: My mum (my boss, mentor, etc.) just told me she has breast cancer and has to undergo chemo and radiation treatment.
She'll be off for at least 6 or 7 months I think.
I'm not religious at all, but she is and if you could pray for her I would really appreciate it.
The shop runs itself okay with me there, but she's the only manager. So it's up to me to get it done now.......wish me luck
 
I'm so sorry. Been there, done that (with my mom, boss, mentor, etc). It's no fun... hellish at times - but you will do great and she will be so proud of you!!! Cry when you need to cry, blow off steam when it builds up, lean on your friends, family, staff and of course save time to help your mom. Work helps a bit... a diversion. Plan some time for yourself too. Do what you need to do to de-stress and be a better daughter, boss and businesswoman
 
So sorry to hear this. I am a volunteer with the Look Good Feel Better programme and each month I work with women who are dealing with the appearance related side effects of chemo and radiation treatment. If your mom can attend one of the workshops that are provided by this organization, it will help bring some control back into her life at a time when there are so many things she won't be able to control. There is wonderful support available and lots of information, too. I wish you and your family all the best during this time.
 
thoughts from NJ, for quick healing for your mom, and quick strength for you!
 
If you need help, please let me know... I'm just down the road you know. Take care of you and I send thoughts for a steady recovery for your Mum.

So sorry to hear that news, what a lot to deal with.

But, you have your fc friends for any flower related help so use us also.

Thoughts and prayers for you and your mum and family xx
 
My mom is a 4 year survivor of late stage breast cancer.

I found out in the middle of a mother's day weekend when I had 2 weddings, and one of my best friends was dying in a hospice at the same time....it was bleak.

I will pray, and remember, a little faith goes a long way.

Hugs to you.
 
lil_goldie...

It has nothing to do with "religion" but everything to do with faith, and believing in a power stronger than ourselves. That there is One who does care what happens to His children no matter their age, nor their beliefs.

He will see you through this time, and you'll know He's there if you take the time to be quiet and listen for His still small voice. He's not pushy, He will not intrude, but He will be there when you cry out to Him to console, comfort and give you strength.

May He be with you, your mum, and those caring for her, may His wisdom flow throughout every fiber of the doctors, nurses and family surrounding her.

Peace be within you...

My prayers to you and your family.

Also if your Mum wishes to come in one day , just to putter around, let her do it. It will be great (greta) therapy for you and herself.
