Gifts for dying mom advice?

it would have to be something personal. maybe try to get all family pics you can get a hold on and make a load of awesome scrapbooks. my mom had a few boxes of old pics in her attic and for her last bday i sneaked them out, organized them and made neat albums out of them. she cried when she saw them.
also, everything that you spend time with her. watch movies she used to love as a teen or kid with her. get one of those books like pic related and use the infos there to make her her fav meals, make her a playlist with her throwback music, and so on.
your most precious give is quality time and happy memories. smother her with that.

also, try to find out what her favorite perfume was as a teen and get her a bottle. smells are a powerfull time machine.

I'm sorry to hear of what you're going through. My mother also has Stage IV, though her case is considered inoperable.

The suggestions thus far are all good ones, but I have another that is often overlooked: blankets and gloves. Printed fleece throw blankets are especially great if you can find some that evoke memories or reminders.

All of which, of course, leads to the question: why blankets? Chemotherapy has many side effects, of course, but there's an especially nasty combination that happens in a lot of people: secondary Raynaud's phenomenon (which causes cold to register as pain) and really bad chills. Blankets go a long way in making the process more bearable.

i didn´t know that. but you could also make some cozy socks for her then or a fluffy scarf. or a cute hat.

Thanks. we actually already have all tons of those scrapbook type things

Your link makes me really sad because it would be like asking her to "write your last words". It doesn't seem like it would be a good gift right now, though I wish I could give it to her. I wonder if there is anything I can do/give her that would involve retelling her story but that wasn't like your link.

I will call my grandma and ask if she knows about anything like this. Thanks.

>I can do/give her that would involve retelling her story but that wasn't like your link.
i did just google random "ask your realtives about stuff" books. you wouldn´t just hand it to her but ask her the questions. there´s another, maybe more appropriate way. there´s a project, called storycorps, where you have a very in depth and emotional conversation with someone, record and save it for eternity. you can also do this just for the two of you. but it´s a good source of important and emotionaly loaded questions to ask. ofc the whole purpose is to spark a conversation that you will never forget and that will make her feel like you really care and want to get to know her as a human being.

Yeah, that's why. the thought was really good. I will have to ask her a lot about her life and record it myself. that wouldn't be inappropriate and we could share it and I would love it too. I just need to find a place with great questions.
