  • What a courageous young lady. Wow! I'm crying as I'm listening.

  • Taren... I also lost my Mother and I would like to say thanks for sharing your story. May you continue to be blessed.

  • You're such a lovely woman x

  • Omg! I want to Thank u for making this vid. It had me really emotional and it also helped me to have more of an understanding towards my moms death. I recently, made a vid. showing how my mom is trying to communicate with me and I have footage of that. I tried to send u a personal message however with the way that YT has set up the channel I am not able too. I just want to say Thank u so much for making this vid. and that I am so sorry about your mom. God Bless U!

  • My mom too

  • wow taren! that's not easy at all! especially you putting something so personal out there for us. thank you for that. we appreciate ur honesty and you being open. its not easy (lost my parent too at a young age) , but God has been and always is in control. Your strong, blessed with beautiful kids, vibrant and bubbly yourself! please stay the way you are and good luck with everything! You're doing a great job! Bless you ;o)

  • OMG I get so emotional about your mom passing away!! I can`t stop thinking about my mom, she`s my rock as well. You never think you can lose your mom someday, we really need to appreciate our mothers more and more when they are alive.

  • I have had that happened to me the being held down I still cant explain why, it was often Id wake up at 3am and most of the activity would stop by 3:16, it was scary to me as well...All i know was that i had alot of pain during that time with a divorce and other things that were difficult and i felt alone in all this......I wish i could get into what ive been seeing on clocks its 9:11 day or night its weird i know the sum of this is 11 its just strange to me.......

  • Awww taren ur such an inspiration, I wouldnt have known that youve been through all this, Well all I can say is that ur mommy would love the woman youve become today, you have been such an inspiration for people all over, your amazing, i know things may get hard, but you definately have what it takes to overcome many things....

  • My dad passed away from cancer 2/15/2009. I've been watching your videos for a year and had no idea you went through this too. I just stumbled across this video today.

  • Cont'd- my grandmothers died 4/4/88 and 5/5/99, exactly 11 years, 1 month & 1 day apart.

    When I realized that (after my grandmother's lucky # had always been 11) I was truly awe-struck. My father's b-day is 1/11 btw...he's the only oddball in the fam born on not "doubles", but a "triple". What re we, soul sisters or something? I also tried to get my mother to consider the alternative route as well (my mother was afraid to die too). Check out HEALING CANCER FR THE INSIDE OUT on youtube! GREAT!

  • WOW Taren. I lost my mother to cancer too, just last year. :( Devastating experience (at least for me,...& I have felt no communication from her since she left). Literally EVERYDAY I am thinking about how to heal, grow, bless & be blessed still...quite a journey. I was about to turn away from the vid when you started talking about tattoos but get THIS. 11.11 HAS BEEN A GOOD LUCK NUMBER IN MY FAMILY SINCE MY G-MA'S BIRTH! My b-day is 10.10. & EVERYONE in my fam has double digits-my grandmothers

  • This video literally had me in tears. Very inspirational and moving. Just like to say Thank You

  • Thank you for posting this video and sharing your experience.

  • I also have a son that's autistic and my mom is slowly being taking away by dementia so I can truly relate so much to what you're sayin you are such a strong beautiful woman thank u for sharing your story

  • thanks for sharing your story.

  • Thank you so much for sharing you story and your journey. Very touching and inspiring.

  • I lost my nan to cervical cancer sept 29,2010 it was a shock for me but im gettin on, just remember she'd be proud of u rite now an thank god for gettin this far

  • truly sorry

  • For some reason I could not get my email request to go through but I would like to check out the ebook for possible help for a female relative who was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer. Thanks.

  • I lost my mom to cancer too 8 years ago. When I found out, I was pretty calm cause I expected it but at the same time I was in shock. Your mother reminded me of my mother! My mom was the light of the room when she entered it and was always smiling and laughing so when you mentioned that I was like oh my god, that sounds like my mom! Like you, I was a quiet child, only child so when it came to her baby, my mom spoke up and protected/defended me! Finally feel like somebody understands!

  • Thanks for sharing Taren. My mother passed away 9/13/04. She was a Virgo & I am a Capricorn & an only child. My mom helped me with my daughter & I sit her amazed because my daughter was so calm the night my mom passed (like your son). I found so many similarities in our stories. I began my "true" spiritual journey after my mom passed, had comforting dreams of her and signs that she is "here" with me Thank you for sharing, I know how hard it can be to relieve the moment of losing Mom,God Bless!

  • Wow I've had similar experiences with my uncle passing and the wonderful peace I had when I knew he went to heaven even when my dog passed away it's deep

  • What you experienced with your departed mom, was amazing!

  • Beautiful story Taren. It opened something for me to. I hope you'll write a book. You're a wonderful storyteller!

  • سعادة

    and it Pronounced as ( Saadah )

    Big thumb up for the Arabic tattoo BC I'm a new Arabic subscriber

    and I wish you would meet your mom on heaven on the other world <3

  • My father died from from colon cancer 4 years ago. He & I were very close & I still miss him. Sweet vid. Be blessed.

  • It's a hard thing to go through. My experience is very similar. My mom had terminal cancer. I was in complete denial, too. We received the late night call on the only day she was left at the hospice alone. I screamed and cried like I've never done before or since. I held a lot of guilt for many years for not having "closure" because of the denial. Even years later (mine is 20 yrs) we have our moments. Thanks for sharing your story. Love all your videos. ☺

  • omg Taren, as you mentioned questioning what the number 11/11 meant to you, I consiously looked at my computer clock and it said 2:22

  • I'm a new subbie, thanks for (re) telling your story, while our experiences may be different I do understand your plight. In tears as I type this, I understand your pain. I have similar cancer story, my Dad who was my rock went to the doctor for a check up and was diagnosed with stage 3 acute- myeloid leukemia. It was devastating, and I too couldn't handle it. I too have had the peace of understanding come over me sine his passing. May God continue to bless you. *hugs*

  • Comment removed

  • Are you familiar w/ Poppy Day (in the UK)? 1f not, you should google 1t ... and f1nd out more about 1t :)

  • oh gosh im tryin to hold myself together while watching :(...great video

  • My mother has colon cancer and it been hard and keeps on being hard... i really think god led me to this video watching video because i loved you hair but its weird how much we have in common.I was homeless at 12 too... Good luck with everything

  • NO ONE CAN EVER REPLACE A MOTHER <3

  • Wow, this hits home for me in some ways. I really appreciate you sharing this.

  • Thanks for sharing so much of yourself. Your openness is both comforting and inspiring.

  • Hello Taren. My name is Ebony and I used to live in the apartment across from you on Osborn Street. Although it has been some years I would like to share my deepest condolences for your loss. I remember Ms. Lisa vividly and she was an absoultely amazing woman. Fun loving and always a joy to be around there was never a dull moment. I pray that you will continue to find strength in the great memories you have of your mom. Again Ms. Lisa was a phenomenal woman.

  • Hello Taren, I'm a new subscriber and i happen to come upon your videos i wacthed the one about your mom my heart goes out to you!I just lost my mom last month and i am too an only child.Your strength is amazing thank you for your personal journey you never know how many people you help and inspire god bless you and your family!!!

  • 11-11-11 thinking of you today Taren! I lost my mom 4years ago so I know how it feels to have these precious moments in time where we focus in on signs and/or wonders that come from above or within. I appreciate you so much for sharing this video and I hope you have a lucky day filled with God's glory!

  • Taren... Today is 11/11/11 and I immediately thought of u and ur tattoo and this video! Good day!

  • I saw this vid a few times nd i was afraid to watch cuz i new i'd b cryin. I'm glad i watched cuz my mom died Dec 09 of cncr. I didn't fully acknowledge it either, nd i was feelin guilty bcuz i foun out l8tr i cud've don somthin bout it. I don believe in the chemo/radiation thing either. I no now that there are many ways to heal NATURALLY, and god gave us all we need on earth. I was 22 at the time and ppl told me how to feel, and no1's words could help me until now. Thanks so much for this. <3

  • I'm a Capricorn :)

  • I want you to know that I just found this video and it has been such a help. My mother passed in May '09 and like your mother, she talked frequently about "Going Home" ..... so when we were selecting her casket, we knew we'd found the right one when we found one with a dove, a bible and the words.. "Going Home". Thank you for sharing your experience.

  • Well I NEVER EVER comment on anyone's page, however this is like a I guess I can say 'sign from God'. Recently, my mom just found out that she still has a tumor in her head from years ago, and now the doctors decided that she do radiation treatments so it wouldn't grow as fast. And all she keeps saying is "this is my year" WOW! (Writing this through tears) and I have that same attitude that "ohh no mom, your crazy...nothing is going to happen to you." Before, I run out of characters THANK YOU!!

  • Okay SO up late or early (insomnia moment) I have had almost the same dream except it was my aunt. I have had experiences with my aunt and my grandmother after their passing. My grandmother comes to me in dreams A LOT my aunt doesn't as much anymore.But I would be very interested in hearing more stories. It would be a nice change in the game!I wish I could tell you my experiences bc they are VERY similar to yours (lights flickering/dream/feeling of being held "hug" ;) its been very interesting.

  • same thing happened with my brother, my mother had a dream with him and he told her he was fine and all that stuff!!!!!

  • everynight when i look to the clock, it says 11.11pm

  • thanks for sharing your story taren.. it was really touching and also kinda scary! lol Im sitting here at 2 am watching this vid and im like scared to took around me in case i see signs of spirits! that kind of stuff scares me to death!

  • Thank you for sharing your story about you mom. My mom has Breast Cancer and is going through the chemo now. you made me realized that I am in denial aboot her sickness and also that I dont know how act or feel when I am around her. I am a single parent as well and my mom has always been my rock. but i can be a little more sensitive towards her and be her rock now. So thank you, thank you, thank you Taren for making me not feel alone in the journey. & P.S. My Birthday is 11/11

  • Thank you

  • Thanks for being so candid with your emotions Taren. I always feel like I'm hearing from one of my homegirls when I watch your videos. Love, light, and peace to you. Iba Ase, we must remember all those who came before us!

  • speaking of that, Philippians 4:7...4+7=11

  • that peace just makes me think Philippians 4:7 "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

    " what a beautiful gift for your mom to give to you

  • Thx for sharing your life with us! May your mom rest in pease and pease also be with u!!

  • WOW! After reading KNR713's comment & hearing about numbers in your vid, I decided to break down my bday # that I'm constantly seeing and whatta ya know it equalled 11---> 10-09-73=92 9+2= 11 In another arena I dealt with in my past, 1=knowledge, 2=wisdom, & 3=understanding so 1+1=2 also means wisdom...

  • Thanks for sharing. My mom passed in 03 a week to the day of my bday. I had to view her body on my bday and bury her the day after. As a nurse I was given info very bluntly & fully by all of her doctors. I was blessed to make the decision to make the most of her time bcuz she was given <6mo. I also talked her into moving in with me so I appreciated that exp,however, my mom was extremely sad or mad although tough on me I understood. I always see my bday# month & day 10-9 as 109 or 1009...

  • seemed so strong that I cud not believe she was dying. Unfortunately, I've had lots of cancer in my family, so I'll email u soon. Thanx girl!

  • I'm so sorry about your mom's death. U are right about the need to be positive. Example- My maternal aunt was so sick from cancer when, years later, she finally came back home to visit that she couldn't go 5 minutes without throwing up, and was not eating. Fortunately, our family implemented positivity, faith, hope and laughter. As a result, she went from the state she came in to enjoying her days, laughing, talking...lots of eating. In fact, minutes b4 she died, she

  • And Also I want you to know I lost my Mother to Cancer too in 2006 and am also a mixed (Jamaican and English) only child, although a Grandmother myself now :) so I do understand some of your experience. If you would like to talk ever please contact me. Many love and Blessings to you and yours. Nadia x.

  • Taren, I am sorry for your loss and I can see that your Mum meant the world to you. You are a lovely young lady with a Bright Future ahead of you.

    Perhaps it was time for you to grow into the leader you are becoming,

    I get a great sense if you moving into a brand new and powerful acceptance of yourself and think that you may change your career and become a Coach and wellness trainer yourself. In any case what ever you do as a leader you will be great at it and inspire many.

  • Wow. You are a super strong woman! I think you are an amazing role model for young women! I'm sorry to hear about your mom, but I know that she's proud of you and that she raised you to be a wonderful woman. People will talk about a "normal" family but the truth is my dad was married 5x and I turned out fine, because that was normal to me. As long as there is love in their lives, autism, whatever, they'll be just fine. Thanks for sharing momma!

  • you made me cry I'm sorry for your loss I can't imagine how you feel but I really appreciate your story and your will to stay strong.

  • wow what an amazing and touching video thankyou for sharing this... my aunt from my dads side just passed away from cancer about a month ago. 

  • There are sooo many comments on this video don't know if yourself or somebobdy else has already noticed this..Your mom's birthday 1+ 8 + 65 = 74....7+4= 11!

  • @KNR713 my boyfriends birthday is 11/1188!!!

  • @KNR713 Wow! I never noticed that! Thanks!

  • Thank You <3

  • Sorry to hear about ALL of you guys loved ones passing away! I love seeing and hearing from other spiritual people! I believe my uncle (my mom's older brother who passed away at 11 from cerebral palsy) visits us in the form of a cardinal. Many stories as to why we believe that, but I can say, whenever we're worried or stressed, a cardinal appears. Makes me want to cry thinking about it. My uncle who I never go the chance to meet watches over my family...God is so beautiful!

  • I'm watching the video in tears because I too have lost my mom to cancer on 1/18/2009. My sister and I are both due with baby girls on 11-11-11.

  • Hello Taryn, I sooo enjoyed your video, brought up a lot of things with me....my Mother and Father have pasted also. That is a whole nother story for another time. However; your spiritual experiences been there and glad to see you embraced your experiences.

    You have such a beautiful spirit about yourself. May The Most High continue to bless and protect you and your beautiful boys.

  • im going through a rough time now with my mom i made a video about it called THE MASK i cant finish what i want to say sorry have a nice day

  • I sprained my toe recently too xD

  • Thank you for sharing these amazing and inspirational stories. And it didn't even seem like 20 min;)

  • This is soo crazy! my sister has that 11:11 experience alll the time!!! she has been wondering what it meant forever! i need to tell her to watch this video!

  • bless you.

  • I just watched your vid and I can't stop crying. I recently lost a very close friend to cancer. And until I saw this vid I thought I had dealt with the pain of losing her. I obviously haven't because the crying hasn't stpped yet! Lol. I just wanted to let you know that this vid touched my heart. Thank you, Taren. God bless you and your family.

  • Blessings...

  • Wow Taren, thank you for sharing so much of you. You're such a natural, omg I love your videos. Btw which eye lashes do you use.. ? Do you do them daily? Are they individual lashes? I lost my dad when I was 15 it was so hard. I think you're so beautiful.

  • Wow thanks for sharing, it shows how you really honor your subscribers by sharing something that personal...thank you again

  • This is such a powerful video

  • Thank you for sharing all of that! For reasons that I can't explain, I was floored by what you revealed about your Mom. I now feel ancient, realizing that I'm old enough to be your Mom, but your Mom was still so young. Amazing, that you came through it. Were it not for your children, you would have been alone. So teen mom or not, they are true blessings. Your Mom did good work on this earth, creating you. I'm sure she smiles with pride. You are a fine example of her work.

  • alone. You are an inspiration to me for many reasons. Thank you for sharing such a personal story, and i wish you and your beautiful children many blessings and happiness.

  • Taren, this video is so powerful. I've been watching your videos for some time, but never knew we had so much in common. I am also a virgo and my mother passed away in 2003 at the age of 46 after a long illness. She was also my world and i went through a period of denial while she was ill and then total devastation after she was gone. It has been a long slow process of healing for me, but it's good to hear that you were able to gain healing after such a terrible loss. Just know that you are not

  • Thank you so much for sharing. Your bravery is an inspiration.

  • taren your a very strong woman and mother and your mom is looking over you and grandchilidren

  • why is ur video at the end werid

  • i had in experience with my great aunt passed n she came to me n like a bumble with just a head...i was young n kinda freaked out but yeah i believe the connection can be that strong

  • Love the video!!!!!

  • LOVE this video!! I can relate to this is so many ways. My mom didnt pass but I have witnessed and my family has dealt with several supernatural experiences. I am a christian, and I know spirits are REAL. I witnessed a very interesting supernatural experience in my apartment, which happened to my best friend. Loooong story! You should have a get together and everyone can come together and share stories :) (positive only) I have so many to share! BTW i am a virgo too (Sept.4th) Be blessed

  • Thanks for sharing! I'm soo interested in spiritual world...I enjoyed your video

  • Your hair looks great. Is that a half wig?

  • Have you sent the e-books out yet Taren? I sent for mine about 2 weeks ago and it hasn't arrived. This video makes me cry :(

  • Hi :) thanks for taking the time out to share so much with all of your viewers. You are an awesome person with a beautiful heart and personality. I love that you are so in touch with who you are, and it really inspires me to become a better person. Thanks again!

  • Such a interesting video, and so spirtual. I have had dreams, that I never forget, I think that means its a communication. 1 of them was of a beloved uncle, he was handicapped, never felt like he was, never felt sorry 4 himself. His life was an inspiration. I dreamed that I was w/him, & that he had such healthy hair, i was in awe of it. His back was to me, & I was just combing it, he said, "Thank you for everything". I said please, please, theres no need for thank yous.. Cont.

  • @supersass2010 Then all of a sudden, I heard a rustle, and I yelled, "He's here", He's here", we looked out the window,God was standing there looking up, and the light outside was on him. That was it. It was years ago, so many yrs. but I still remember it like it was today. The feeling was there, I will never forget it.

    I am a Virgo as well. I was so quiet and shy when I was young. But not when I got older. I can talk, and I think I have been pretty brave in some situations.

  • I kept passing my this video and contemplating whether I wanted to watch this, because my dad died this past April from cancer and it was too emotional for me, but I decided to watch and this was a very good video, even though it really made me cry, which I knew it was..I felt sad for the both of us, btw if it was my mom i think I would have a nervous breakdown...

  • thank you for sharing your story of your mom with us.  you truly are a blessing!

  • my mother passed away also :(

  • Hey Taren, I remember I first came across your videos when you did the series and how impressed I was with your story and became a subscriber. I thought you were an incredible young lady then and I still think you are incredible role model. This was another wake up call bc your mom was born only a month before me and this really hits home. I know she is proud of you, and if I had a daughter I would want her to be just like you! Thanks for sharing and stay strong! Much love!

  • for sharing your story with me and it helps a lot to know that it will be ok.

  • Hi Taren, I lost my grandmother8/21/11, she passed due to breast cancer which eventually spread all over her body.It's been hard to accept that she's gone, I didn't expect her to die because the doctors removed a tumor last year &said she was fine &also because of her strength, she was so strong.We planned on goin away together to celebrate my 18th b'day & her 70th b'day because our b'days were 1 day apart. I never got to say goodbye to her &I miss her so much. I want to say thank you so much.

  • Whoa...this is crazy. I'm a virgo only child who's mom sounds just like yours! She passed away from complications stemming from breast cancer on 9/2/02. We shared the same birthday. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm still dealing with the loss as I'm sure you are. I will keep you in my prayers.

  • CANCER kristynrisom@yahoo.com

  • Your a beautiful person and keep inspiring through your video's.. Cancer is not easy and I so understand the denial involved. Thanks for your advice...My mother has dealt with cancer and this isn't easy...

  • Im soo proud of you, wow thats a lot to undertake at a young age and also you've come a long way. You sharing your story will definately help someone. Your spirit is Beautiful and your Beautiful!

  • Crying along with you Taryn. Stay strong virgo sister you are blessed !

  • OMG Taren...u had me in tears.

    I actually had a baby cousin that just passed away from cancer.

  • Taren, your story was really beautiful! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I'm glad that you still feel close to your mom, even though she has left this Earth.

  • You know I'm loosing my grandma now to cancer but I lost my hubby to suicide, so I have a sense of your pain. You're such a strong woman

  • Please share information on cervical cancer. Make it a round-table discussion. It will save and educate others. Also information on how you try to prevent it. May the Lord continuously keep your mind and heart. You have an awesome spirit and I see why.

  • Know the feeling. My mom died August 2005 and I miss her dearly. BTW what is the name of that wig u have on its so cute

  • Thank you for sharing your story in such a pure and honest way without fear. I can't begin to imagine what it feels like to lose a parent. I can say that from our weakness grows strength. I'm certain your mother knows just how strong and beautiful you are. She walks with you in ur growth. Continue to smile beautiful.

  • omg whenever i look at the clock usually at night i swear to god it always says 9:11 ..like for the past year or so..its starting to freak me out

  • You had me in tears....THANKS for this Video! PEACE & BLESSINGS my dear!

  • I'm so sorry for your mom. I lost my dad three weeks ago. He had a brain cancer. It made me cry to see you like that. Stay strong.

  • Your video is very hard to watch because I lost my father to lung cancer when I was 8. To this day I still find times when I just get kinda depressed about it.

    Sorry for your loss. ((hugs))

    Jen

  • Seriously, you are so strong. This is such a beautiful story! I cried. Thank you so much for sharing it.

  • Thank you for sharing your story about your mom. I had also lost my mom so I know how you feel.

  • Very touching video.

  • You have an awesome story Taren, glad you shared it with the world!!! Keep being fabulous you!!

  • Taren I can't believe it but when you started talking about 11:11....my computer clock said it was 11:11

  • love ur story hunnie beautiful my grandmother comes to me and is with me as well were blessed

  • Beautiful Story! Thank You for sharing. God Bless :)

  • Hi Taren, I just wanted to thank you for being so open and vulnerable with sharing your personal story with us. It made me think about how my relationship with my mom fell apart when I came out to her... Hearing you story makes me thankful and appreciate that we both were able to move past that and mend our relationship again. Life is way to short to let such small things like that drive family apart.

  • I just had an experience with 11:11 after watching this video. I was taking my dog outside and I came back in. I looked at my phone and it said 11:11 and my computer had 11:11. The interesting thing was that I wasn't really thinking about it or paying attention to the time.

  • @Babygirl89jks Welcome to the experience : ) It's a great thing to be aware now... I'm glad that I talked about this cause so many ppl are seeing it that haven't seen it before... It's a great energy.. Just keep it up

  • I'm so sorry about your Mom. OMG...when you started to get emotional I started to get emotional. I had like this big lump in my throat, trying to hold back the tears.

  • Thank you for sharing....Great story.

  • Thanks for sharing!

    

  • Very touching video, Taren. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

  • You are such a strong, beautiful woman. I have been through similar situations in my life. Keep getting the word out about natural cures and continue to help young women with their self esteem.  Love ya and God bless you!!

  • I just started to really get into youtube and I ended loving your page so much. I couldnt really explain why you were my favorite but after watching this video, I connected with you so much more. This video came at a time when I'm questioning so much in my life-not negatively-but I'm evolving. The video didnt answer a lot of my questions about life, but it was very reassuring, that I'm not alone; and that makes me feel a lot better about things. Keep up all the wonderful videos!!!

  • Thank you sooo much for sharing this story with us

  • I really appreciate your video. I am going through a medical condition and I would like to learn about other treatment and I would like the Ebook . I feel you need to do research to compare other information out there. Thank you so much.

  • love u taren. ur such a great person. sorry to hear abt ur mother. i didnt get a chance to watch the whole video but it was sooo touching. happy u were able too be healed.

  • Omg your story was amazing. My grandma had swine flu and pneumonia in the summer of 2009 and she actually past away. Her heart stopped beating and the doctors revived her and brought her back to life. She told me that as she was going she saw her and Jesus walking on the ceiling. She didn't wanna be brought back becuz of the pain and she didn't want to suffer anymore. She has diabetes and heart problems. She just wanted to be done. But it wasn't her time yet. She's still here and living. Which

  • Such a beautiful story, although I can't relate because I haven't lost a parent however I can empathize! It took a lot for you to open up about something so personal and I commend you for it!!! Great vid!!!

  • Thank you for sharing. You are a very strong young woman.. B+ ..

  • I was the 1,111 like. WOW.

  • Thanks for sharing your story. I have those type of dreams all of the time about my loved ones that have passed on. Next month will be 9 years since my mom died so I've been thinking of her like crazy. Unfortunately many of my friends have lost their moms since then. It's not a feeling I would wish on anyone. Time does heal though.

  • Amazing story! You're such an inspiration in so many ways.

  • Hey Taren, your story really touched me. Your tears also brought tears to my eyes. However please take caution when speaking of chemotherapy and natural healing. Chemo has saved the lives of a lot of people. And the people that refuse chemo and decide to use natural methods can end up risking their lives. I agree that chemo might not be the answer for everybody, but that is something i would suggest someone dealing with this to discuss with their doctor.

  • @MegaLittlesmile completely agree with you. Chemo has saved MANY lives.

  • Love you Taren, and praying for you. <3

  • lost my father to cancer on 10-16-10, just wanted to say thank you for sharing u had me in tears.... God Bless T

  • I just lost my mom on 8/15/11 , she dies from a host of different illnesses that were unknown to me ...her only child! In the months prior to her passing, she became very distant with me, I just couldn't understand why; however I now realize she was preparing me for the day she would be called home. it was and still hard to accept she is gone, but there's signs everywhere to assure me that she ok :-) RIP Mommy I will always love you...Tears!!!!

  • Thank you so much for this Taren. My Aunt passed away 8/24/11 after suffering from Breast Cancer for 6 yrs. My grandmother, whom she took care of with Alzheimers for 10 yrs died 3 mos prior to her diagnosis. She sacrificed so much. During the last 4 months she suffered greatly and was also ready to 'go home'. I know she is in Heaven singing with the Angels! :)

    I also understand about the Teen mother concept and have worked with Teen mothers a long time. Self esteem is important.

  • May your mother's soul be at peace (which she already is)! What an amazing journey. My father passed almost 5 years ago and it took a awhile before I could talk about him w/o losing it.

  • Stage 4 is terminal.

    Not 3

  • I can so relate to your situation I lost my mom in Jan 2011 I too think about being more understanding of my mom because she was strong and I had never seen her sick and the cancer really took its toll on her...anyway I understand you thank you for sharing

  • Thank you for sharing something so personal.

  • I lost my mom to

    Colon cancer in 2008 and like

    You I was also in denial and treated her " regular" as if it were just a phase... I regret it

    So much I wish I would of been more compassionate or not so in denial.... I miss her everyday... Thanks for sharing...

  • Bless you, sweetheart.

  • Cancer is so sad to deal with, I should know 1st hand Im 24 & took care of my grandmother while she was suffering from breast cancer. I could not sleep for the thought that she might past away in the next room without me knowing. I gave her over 12 meds a day took her to every Dr. visit until she reached stage 4 and was admitted. Looking at her vanishing in front on my eyes one night I said " Grandma I'd rather you go home than to continue to suffer like this". She died the next day Dec. 3, 2010

  • I wanted to thank you for sharing this with us. Your story was so touching and brought up something in my life that I have been closeting. I was raised by my dad without knowing anything about my mom except her name. I never really took an interest in finding her. Long story short, your story made me want to find my mom. I probably thought I had all the time in the world to find her, but your story made me face reality. She may not even be alive. I started my search today. Thank you!

  • Lost my mom on 9/3/11 just returned home from her home going service, she passed from complications brought on by the treatment of her cervical cancer. They managed to get rid of the cancer but it just brought with it a host of other problems. I just wanted to let you know that your video has given me another piece of hope. Thanks for sharing your story.

  • @dirtyhollowlife O wow, you just lost your Mom.. So sorry to hear that... Keep your strength up.... I know exactly what you're going through and time definitely helps in healing... And I'm sure she will still help you cope in spirit
