My mother died of cancer a year ago, and I know what the Pope is going through. Mom was strong up till the end, then went comatose for about a week. I'm not Catholic, but I like this Pope and am sending some prayers his way.

I'm very sorry about your mom. It's really rough to lose your mom. I lost mine tragically and I don't think I will ever get over it.

I'm not a Catholic either but I have tremendous respect for the Pope. I'll be sending prayers on his behalf. God Bless him!

Thank you. It's been just a year, and I keep wondering when the grief will lighten up. It just keeps grinding away at me. And now seeing the Pope going through what she did, it brings it all back again.
