Music, CD's, or Books on tape for my dying Mother to listen to.

I am looking for Music, CD's, Books on tape or anything along those lines to help my mother during her long, losing battle with metathesized breast cancer.  My mothers fight started when I was 16.  Now at age 32 I realize that I am very lucky to have had the time I have had with her.  She has seen both of her children get married, watched my stepdaughter grow from 1yo to 10yo, and was there when I gave birth to my happy and healthy son, now 3yo. She has never given up the fight with this stupid cancer that never let up and consistently reappeared in her small 5 ft & 115lbs body. Now that she is no longer taking chemo and we have call hospice care into my parents home she has had trouble letting go.  She is an amazing woman that I am so proud to call my mother.  Her eye's, mind, and body are fading fast and I need something that she could listen to when she is resting that will put her mind at ease.  She is a very faithful woman of god.  Something about letting go and meeting our wonderful lord.... Please any ideas would help. - Thanks

I am so sorry, and my heart aches for all of you.  I lost my mom when I was 25.  One of the most important things you can say to your mom is "it's okay to go."  I know this is very hard, but they will hang on for us causing themselves more suffering.  Everyone should say their "I love yous" and let her know she can go, that you will be fine.  My son suffered horrendously and just kept fighting a battle he had already lost, we told him it was okay to go and be with his dad, and he left. Heart wrenching for us, but he is at peace.  Big hugs to you and take care.

I'm so sorry to hear you are going through this.  My mother died when I was 29 (I am now 40) and she had asked me to find a music CD that would help soothe her as she slowly slipped from the earth and towards God.  I found a CD titled, "God Will Make a Way."  One of the songs was "It Is Well With My Soul," and that seemed to be her favorite one.  Now that she's gone, I find that CD helpful to me from time to time.  Here is a link to the CD that can be purchased on Amazon or in a local Christian bookstore.

Peace to you and your mother.
