Members Adam Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 That post from Corbin was so sad, but beautiful. I can't believe this vibrant, full of life woman is now wasting away. Its so sad, but she has had a great life and I am sure is at peace with whatever will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted May 4, 2013 Members Share Posted May 4, 2013 I have to admit that I'm a bit humbled at the grace and compassion Corbin Bersen has shown through all this. He's let the public and Jeanne's fans be a part of what is a very painful and intimate time for both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WillenFan21 Posted May 4, 2013 Members Share Posted May 4, 2013 Corbin Bernsen · 59,693 like this 24 minutes ago · Clearly from my messages you all must realize the situation, and that what I had hoped and prayed for - more time - may just end up being the brief moments I had with mom earlier this week. I asked God for time, I got it and tried to fill it with as much love and laughter as I possibly could. Sitting in a movie tonight, mildly distracted from it all, I got a call from my brother and he said we have to stop being unfair. She's struggling too much. We have to let her go. I took it in, calmly, and walked back into the theater, finished the movie - Darn good Iron Man 3. I then went back to my hotel room, where I am now and broke down, conceding any fight I had left. I don't want her in pain. I don't want her in fear. I don't want her in agony. And Jeanne Cooper, Katherine Chancellor, Wilma Jeanne is a fighter! She will kick ass as long as we let her but I know now it is only for us, not for her. I had to think back sitting in her bedroom several days ago... she pointed to several objects, paintings, telling us their "value." Not much really but SHE WANTED US TO KNOW. I think she knew she was ready then, to let go. But she needed to test us to see our reaction - My reaction! Of course I immediately said, "not ready to go there mom," demonstrating exactly what she suspected; that I wasn't ready quite yet. So she hung on. Went another round. The boxer pleasing the team in their corner. I said goodbye to her yesterday, and even then not fully meaning it or expecting that would be the last time I saw her. But now it will have to do as we enter this weekend letting her final voyage begin. And I'm good with it, honestly. Enough to be saying it here. You all have been a tremendous ear for me, to verbalize my struggles with all of this... even now with these very words... I am good. I am good. I don't want her in pain. I don't want her in fear or agony. Along with her tremendous success she's had too much of all that in her lifetime. And she's shared much of it with all of you, candidly. So I'm giving her this weekend, take the holiday, mom, make it yours, let it take you where it will. My final words to her last night were, "I'll see you again." And I will, either here or there. Prayers please for her safe and peaceful journey. I may take a break here for a bit and stay silent in prayer and mediation for the next few days... Then again, I am my mother's son and staying quiet isn't always an option. May the light of God grace shine upon us all this weekend. Make it about love, compassion, and honesty, and in doing so you will honor my mom and the examples she has always tried to set, to this very moment.

Members quartermainefan Posted May 4, 2013 Members Share Posted May 4, 2013 It's strange how he is willing to share some very personal things and yet he won't disclose what exactly the medical condition is. Getting old sucks, no two ways about it but still better than the alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted May 4, 2013 Members Share Posted May 4, 2013 My heart is broken for him, and his family. Thought it was my grandmother, not mother, I was a similar place last fall and it was the hardest, yet easiest decision I've ever made in my life. I was actually similar in thought to most of what he has posted along the way. It's brave to let the world in on those thoughts, I couldn't talk about it at all. as was posted, she lived a long, full and interesting life and that's all anyone can ask for.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 4, 2013 Members Share Posted May 4, 2013 No matter how old the person is, death is always a shock to the system. Can one ever fully find peace in letting someone you love go? It pains me a bit to read such agony but I am thankful that he is posting these thoughts and giving all of us some time to gather our sentiments and say goodbye to the Duchess of Daytime. Even in his pained musings, he's sharing his sense of grace with us. I guess we can sort of the cause and the why but for now, I'm focused on making peace with parting with that feisty and dear lady that has been on my TV screen for as many years as I can remember now. If this is to be the end, may she have the peace and dignity of the journey's end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted May 4, 2013 Members Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm very sad for Jeanne Cooper and her family. I'm confused. I understand Corbin Bernsen has Psych to shoot, but can't he skip out to be with his mom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted May 4, 2013 Members Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm sure they're working on arrangements to make that happen. Given this family, I wouldn't be surprised if Jeanne made him promise to show up to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
