So many hugs to you and your mom. It will be so hard, but that doesn't mean it has to be awful. You are strong, and so is your mom.
Please don't apologize for needing support right now. You absolutely are NOT an eeyore! You have lots of really tough stuff on your plate and are trying to face all of it instead of hiding. It's SO hard, and you are not meant to do it alone. Rely on your family, your friends, and us (internet stranger friends) to help carry you through all of this. That's what a community is for!
Ok, also- they don't want her getting manicures at the salon anymore. That's my moms THING. So I'll do them. But I bite my nails, so I need tips and links to products. Help! loonylunalovegood ? iamali Anyone?
HUGE HUGS FIRST OF ALL!!
Also, a good base coat and top coat will do her wonders. I use Orly Bonder as my base and Seche Vite as my top. Zoya is my favorite brand for color. A good glass file will do wonders too.
This! Both of them are my favorites as well. And he blue Sally Hansen gel is great for cuticles. get a little bowl and put marbles in it so that she can alternate soaking her finger tips in the bowl and fidget with the marbles in the water. I find that relaxing.
I'm so sorry about your mom. Hopefully she can embrace it. My mom shaved her head when she was going through chemo and it was a lot less scary than pulling out fistfuls of longer hair. Hugs for both of you.
Hugs. I'm so sorry. I remember doing it to my dad when I was a kid and he was sick. My mom saved some of his hair and put it in envelopes for us. I still have it. <3
It's really hard to do emotionally. I had to shave H's chest before radiation and keep it trimmed. I've also had to shave his beard and head. I fought back the tears and we made jokes about it...but we tried to laugh instead of cry. Will be thinking of you both.
