hi everyone!
today is an awful day…last night my mom had a rough night…today she’s having a rough morning.
and i’m at my wits end.
so then what happens?
YOU happen.
i’m sitting in the hospital and in walks someone with a stack of cards for bunny…
so of course, because i’m a sap, i cry some more…and my mom.. who really is not so lucid..unfortunately…perks up and smiles while i show her some cards…and now i will fill the hospital room walls with all of your love.
THANK YOU.

Jane M says

Today will be better!
Jennifer says
Wow.
People are good.
Lisa Novachek says
Jennifer,
I am thinking of your family each day, feel like you are one of my own friends going through this. I dread the day that I have to deal with my own parent’s health problems, so far they are okay. I’d tell you to stay strong, but that’s a bunch of crap. Cry when you need to, eat what you want to, and lean on your husband and family when you just can’t be the positive one. That’s the only way to get through this.
Take care,
Lisa
Lynne says
I’m so sorry that Bunny is having a rough day. She’s a real fighter though…just like her daughter. You’re tougher than you realize. I know she’s proud of you!
Lots of love, and hugs
Joy says
Just be there for your Mom (and Dad) and forget stressing about dieting. That’s not important right now. You’re a great daughter!
Susan C says
It’s difficult to imagine someone as vibrant and alive as your mom seemed to be lying incoherent in a hospital bed. I’m so pleased you’re able to spend time with her.
Mafalda from Portugal says
I know what you are feeling…
A big hug from the other side of the Atlantic. You need to be very strong at that stage.All my love to you and your family
Jennifer says
Jennifer,
I’m so sad for you and your family during this trying time. I relate to you so much – fear of flying, scared that my kids or other loved ones will get sick, etc. So I just can’t imagine what you must be going through with your mother’s illness. I am sending all of my positive thoughts for peace in your heart and soul.
Jen
boop on the boat says
Jennifer, I feel so bad for you and your family. You’re mom is one strong Bunny and even if she is out of it a bit (thank goodness for her sake) she CAN feel all the love and support surrounding her. My thoughts are with you. Feel the love, honey…it’s pouring in around you!
steven says
Jennifer; You are an inspiration for your family and friends for how to handle such a difficult time with grace, love and humour. That is probably the best gift you could be giving your Mom and family right now. Know that is is life’s natural journey and while not fun, you are going through it very well.
Peace
Steven
daphne from arizona says
Hi jenny I hope your mom gets better did she have an operation or is she getting cemo? I hope the cancer didnt go to far that you cant stop it, I will pray for you and your mom
god bless
Shelia says
Jennifer, You are a good and strong daughter. God will never give you more than you can handle, keep asking him for strength to help you cope. Cry if you need to and don’t feel badly about it. Don’t even try to diet right now take whatever comfort you can get even if it is from food. We are all praying for your mom and family. Prayers and postive thoughts from Atlanta.
Marlene says
Hi Jennifer, sorry you are feeling this way today. My thoughts are with you, eat what ever you want and act how ever you want. This is just a test, are you are the best! My dad and I are also going to Dr. today for results on his resent chemo treatment. I plan to play his favorite CD for the car ride. Music and laughter always get us through the worse times.
God Bless your mom!
Love Ya!
Dinah says
You will be amazed of how strong you can be. Let go, let God.
laura m. says

Dianne says
God bless you all. I’m glad the cards and notes are helping you both. I agree, if I had a daughter, I’d want her to be like you. : )
Linda in pittsburgh... says

Donna in AZ says
Hi Jennifer. I’m sorry your mom is having a rough time. I went through this with my Grandma. Take care of yourself. I’m thinking of you.
Lori says
(((Bunny))) Hugs and healing thoughts.
Jennifer, I am thinking of you every day and praying for you and your family.
Terri says
Jen, praying that Bunny’s nights and days will be bearable. Let her know that she and your whole family are surrounded by our love and prayers.
em says
Jen…It is one of the most difficult times in a person’s life– to watch one of their parents suffer in a hospital bed. It is like being stuck in a vacuum–time still moves forward even though you are still & frozen with fear…kids still need you & daily life raises its usual problems. The love you have for your mom sustains your soul & keeps you strong & able during this time. I went through this last year with my father. Watched him in a hospital take 7 days to pass on while also taking final exams in grad school. You never know what you are capable of until you are called to be there. I wish you & your mother a peaceful, painless journey–whether that is recovery or beyond. Know that you will be okay.
i love whatever says
I’m hoping, praying, wishing, and crossing fingers for the best possible outcome while wishing you much strength, and comfort when ever and where ever you can find it. Like the rest of your loyal listeners, I feel like you are a personal friend more so than a radio personality because you candidly share so much with us. Hopefully we can return the favor is some small way by sharing our concern for your mom and your family.
Karin says
Hang in there! If you need to cry, cry. We are all out here pulling for your mom! XOXOXOXO
Lisa says
Jen…..again I am in the been there done it category and it sucks. Even during this trying time when everything seems to be going wrong there are blessings, including that Bunny does not know how sick she is, you her wonderful daughter who has wonderful friends all of who care for her and a team of health care professionals who are doing everything then can to help her in every way. Keep your chin up, there are a million of us sending you prayers and positive thoughts.
Cecilia Hook from Howell, NJ says
Jennifer,
You know that since I have listened to your show everyday, when I heard the news of your Mom, I felt that it was about a family member. I have gone through many down times in my life, and I only wish that I could do something for you. You have my prayers and good wishes during this tumultuous time. When you and Alexis hurt I feel the hurt also, kind of like a “surrogate mother”. I wish you peace of mind and do not feel that it is wrong to cry, because it is not a bad thing to do. Your emotions have to come to the surface and not be held in. Know that you are thought of and loved.
MM says
Jen, my prayers continue to go out to your famliy. Wishing all of you strength and courage.
Connie says
HI Jen, believe me when I say I know what you are going through. I lost both my parents in the last 5 years to cancer. It was so hard. I also have a 27 year old severly handicapped son(blind,CP,hydrocephalus,wears diapers,must always be in a wheelchair,etc.) I KNOW stress. I had to take my son with me to take care of my parents. Please know you can get through this. Sometimes it seems impossible that you will get through the day. Just keep praying. Lean on your husband a lot. God bless you & your family. PS I live for your show!!! Connie
kenn L says
Hey Jen,
Keep the faith. There will be good days and there will be bad ones. As a cancer nurse I see this all the time.I hope that Bunny will beat this and have a long happy life. Be strong.
Your listeners have your family in our prayers
bernadette says
This post made me cry. Very sweet and honest! Feel better little Bunny!!
HolliefromTN says

Jackie says
Sending you and your family a little Idaho LOVE!
JR says
I send you strength and prayers during this time. I have a father who is ill right now and I know this is difficult. But your mother is grateful to have you by her side. You are a great daughter.
jo says
Sending you lots of good thoughts! Stay strong and throw WW out the window why add anymore stress to yourself at this time? Lots of love!
h from bos says
Hugs from us . Hope all is well. Life is so short and time passes fast. I saw my west coast son last nite at dinner in Boston. other son and daughter joined us. Family get together s are good and not often enough. He was working later with a Band at a local club. The band joined us and we all had a lotsa fun. That son got us into the Ringo’s concert tomorrow as a nice Daddy day gift while he has headed back to LA(la la land) for studio work. I believe your Dad feels as I do that family is all you have that is there for sure and can count on. I see how Alexis is about her Mom but she will defend her to the death. Alexis isn’t as crusty as she makes out to be. Time is short make the best of it and spend as much as you can with people you love. My best to Charlie and your Mom from the Boston fans J and H.
John says
I see your Mom got my “Somebunny” card! I wish there was something else I could do! Just let me know.
Jessica says
Jennifer,
I am really praying and thinking of your family. You are a great person and from all of your stories,it sounds you have a great family, and Mom! Hang in there, and keep your chin up!! Know that all of your fans, are thinking of you!
Gigi says
Jen, it’s JoAnn. Your mom is on a morphine pump, right? To control the pain??? If so, she isn’t really all that aware of what is going on, which in her case, if a good thing right now. I feel for you, honestly. I wish there were a magic cure for this but there just isn’t. Why this happens to people is totally beyond me, but it certainly puts things in perspective. Atleast it did for me. Life is short, we are here to make it better for others. PERIOD. God bless you Jen.
Leigh says
Still praying and keeping you all in my thoughts.
Mama Cissy says
Jennifer –
I have tried every single diet in the entire fricking world. I always lost a few, gained a few more, lost a few, gained a ton. Nonstop obsessing about my weight. No matter what I did, I always weighed the same at the end. 176. That’s what I weigh. That’s what I always end up with. I have never felt so gorgeous as I did about three months ago I came to terms with all this. I actually LOVE myself. I love me. I love my weight. I love my thighs (well, maybe love is alittle strong here), I love my back fat. I just said, “ya know – I just don’t give a damn anymore”. You are WAY more than your weight. Just relax, eat responsibly, eat healthy, watch your snacks. Just be happy. You are beautiful. You are a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart. That’s it! Stay just like you are.
Love.
My Mom had cancer too and it is very painful to watch. We are all here with you. God Bless.
EM in CA says
Jennifer. Not a lot to say other than you and your family are loved by so many strangers because of your work on Whatever. We are fortunate to “know” you and stand by you during this difficult time. Sending you love and good thoughts.
Matt V says
Jennifer, hope today’s a better day!!!! Sending all my positive thoughts to you, your mom and your family!
Robin says
I’ve been where you are and you will make it through this and the world stops for a while but then starts slowly turning again. You will be okay…:-)
(( Hugs To Bunny))) says
Big ol (( HUGS )))
Bunny…:)
Amy says
You should be very proud of yourself. I listen to you every day and I know you won’t believe this, but you really are dealing with this well. I know you want to cry often and it’s fine. Just try as hard as you can to find something to laugh at too. It’s that balance that will keep you going on and being strong for your whole family. I’ll keep praying for your mother.
onesnap says
wow!! Now this post made me cry.
See, this is so much more than a radio show!
