Single women often do not have a much needed support system when they themselves are fighting cancer. They may have children that require a mother to care for them, cook dinner, help with homework, etc... We all know even in the healthiest of women that being a mother is a full-time strenuous job, so being seriously ill makes it so much more difficult. Most moms put their children first, then thei
r own health on the back burner, just to make sure the kids are happy and content. There comes a time though when the mother "Needs" to take care of herself for the sake of her children. We'll babysit, do laundry and cook dinner while Mom goes through chemo. We'll provide a safe haven for the children who need to talk about it (with a person who's parent also suffered through cancer). A volunteer can take mom to the grocery store or will go to the store for her. We'll assure her that the household chores are taken care of. She is unable to mow her yard or pay for lawn care. We'll find a volunteer lawn care service to take care of that for a short time. That's just a few things we can do to help. Providing that much needed support so she can focus on getting well.
