My mother did a thorough examination the other day and found breast cancer.
It has spread all over the body, and it seems that only life-prolonging measures can be taken.
The doctor told me that it would be a few years if the measures went well.
The cancer has spread to my legs and I am unable to walk.
I try to meet up on weekdays when I'm in time for the holiday and meeting time.
I want to do what I can to make my mother happy,
If so, what would you do?
Here are 20 good things about my mother.
Write a letter of thanks a day because it's okay to keep it short.
Burn the way of life into your eyes.
I'm not sure if I can do it now,
Based on my relationship when my relative got cancer,
What I wanted to do next is what I've listed above.
At that time,
If you regret not being able to do it,
I wanted to do what I could for them,
The side effects and pain of anticancer drugs were beyond my imagination.
Listen to what your mother cherished and pass it on to later generations.
Inherit thoughts.
I think about health.
Is that what we can do?
I'm a Jodo sect monk who believes in the Pure Land of Paradise, so this is a Jodo sect story. If it doesn't seem to make sense, please go through it.
People don't end when they die.
It's not an eternal farewell.
When they run out of lives, they are born in the Pure Land of Paradise.
Life expectancy in the Pure Land of Paradise is very long, so someday you will run out of life, be born in the Pure Land of Paradise, and be reunited with your mother there.
Let's assume we won't see each other for a while.
With that in mind, why don't you treat them as usual? It doesn't matter if the conversation is unfriendly.
If there's something you want to eat, I'll give it to you while it's ready. If you like karaoke, enjoy it with your family with a handy karaoke microphone. If you're concerned about your hair, you can ask your favorite beauty salon to come to your hospital room or home.
In that way, I believe in having conversations as usual, helping things they can't do, and if possible, being reunited in the Pure Land of Paradise. For my part, I think so.
Please, I hope your mother recovers even a little bit.
I also lost my grandfather to cancer in July of last year, I was 80 years old
Speaking of the average life expectancy of men, up to that point, we hadn't met for 3 years, and after all, we couldn't go to the funeral or wake due to study, and the first time we met in 3 years was Manchu-yin's ossuary day.
Being able to directly say words to the person you are living with now without regrets is while living together like this now, and you may feel embarrassed.
However, if you think so and avoid it, days will come where you will never be able to stop even if you regret it, and that one is probably much more frightening.
Direct if possible, but I don't think that's possible, so I don't think that's possible, so it doesn't matter if it's a phone call
However, please say “every day,” “thank you,” “thank you for giving birth,” and “thank you for being my mother's son.”
I think words of gratitude to my mother are the happiest thing of all.
I want my kids to come and see me.
And I want you to talk about what happened in one day.
The fact that Sojo-sama is going to see him
Your mother will already be pleased.
