Stress...how do you distress?
My mother in law, who has been fighting pancreatic cancer was given prognosis of a week to a month to live, just yesterday. I got home from work at 6pm and felt immobilized with cramping, severe heartburn, lack of appetite, and sleeplessness until 3am. My baby girl was uncomfortable too, I could tell. I tried reading, praying, watching tv.How do you distress?
*I meant to say meditation and prenatal yoga. Also, try to find a book that inspires you, or that has quotes or even angel cards, so you can pick one everyday even a sentence or a paragraph but that can give you perspective in the day to day.

I am also very sorry you are going through this. I will join you in prayer so you can have the courage and strength to get through it.
In my experience, I have learned that the most important thing in difficult times is to take care of yourself first, as much as you can by bein kind and compassionate, moment to moment. There are times like this that it is really hard to stop and engage in activities that can benefit too so in the meantime is good to speak to ourselves kindly and as loving as possible. Guide your actions by that, if you feel like crying, give yourself permission to do that, if you are stress as well, if you are happy laugh... Really just give yourself permission to feel and be yourself, let your feelings flow instead of repressing them.
In addition to that, if you are open to it, I have found that along prayer and the things you mentioned, meditation and prenatal works wonders to remain centered. At the same time, if you can talk to a therapist or at the very least someone who you really trust and supports you. These are the moments to turn to our support network as much as possible.
Many blessings and love to you!

I really like idea of video, thank you. I'm going over to spend the rest of the week and weekend with her. Movie watching e as OK but of course made me cry every few mins so ended up watching history channel.
I love the idea of making a video for your baby with grandma in it! I think it would be a wonderful memory for you and your family. I wish you much strength during these difficult times.
I'm so sorry for what you and your family are going through. How did the movie watching work for you? You need to do something that you can really get lost in. I like watching movies when I'm alone or reading my vampire romance books!!! They are funny and I try to imagine it as I'm reading!!! I also like to play video games on the xbox or if my bf is home I love watching him play so I can tell him go here or over there, lol!!!
Also if you like/love your MIL like I think you do since how you seem to be reacting to the news you should spend as much time with her as possible! Also maybe ask her to make a video for her unborn grandbaby so that your daughter has a little piece of grandma.
I hope this help!!!
