Metastatic liver cancer

It’s almost Halloween: the time when we commemorate the souls that went to heaven.

Mom is definitely going to have a tough time… Previously her blood pressure would go up big time around these days, because she and her father were very close, even after so many years of mom’s father being in heaven.

So now without the support of her husband and with the grief over her husband, we can only imagine what a rough week she is into.

Cancer doesn’t stop when the person you loved passed away…

Since father passed away from metastatic liver cancer 8 months ago, me and my hubby didn’t take any holiday. And last year we were supposed to go on holidays with our parents… which of course got cancelled as soon as we knew father had cancer.

So we are really looking forward to a relaxing holiday, and we read on the Kauai Travel Blog that the best place to go would be the most laid back of the main Hawaiian Islands: Kauai.

I also read that when staying in one of the luxurious Kauai Vacation Rentals you will get a complete gourmet kitchen: ideal for hubby to cook some of the local dishes as these days he is really out of inspiration I find!

We would invite our best friends with their 2 kids so we are 6. Looking to the vacation rentals at Hawaiian Vacation Kailua I reckon the most romantic and relaxing vacation rental is Hale Manu: it accommodates 6 people and has a view on the ocean! Knowing hubby he will surely look for some seafood on the beach and cook up a storm, asking the to show him their culture and cuisine…

Exactly 8 months after father passed away and 1 week before the Christian celebration of the ghosts (Halloween), mom is pretty stressed out.

Not only because of her grief, but also the nephew and niece who agreed to stay in mom’s house and keep her company: well, their company is more stressful than being on your own it seems.

Mom doesn’t feel she owns the house she and father worked for anymore as she feels totally alienated in her own home. Now that I find is quite as sad as father passing away from metastatic liver cancer in the first place.

Only one way to deal with this is for my nephew and niece to move out from the house.
