I'm very sorry to hear that your mom is doing poorly. I hope she recovers both well and soon!

Thoughts and prayers are with you, your Mom, and your family.

Healing for your mother, your family, and you during this difficult time..

Dear Sarah,
My heart hurts for you as you care for your mother. Even though these moments are hard and you are caring for her in ways you never thought you would, they are precious and even magical. This time spent with her will change you. You will eventually look back and realize what a gift it has been. I pray for your strength in the days ahead. I look forward to your new book, but I understand where your heart and soul need to be focused. Hold onto your courage and compassion, but look for joy each day.
I have walked in your shoes. It is not an easy path.
warmly,
marlee marshall

Lots of love and prayers for your mother; I also admire that you keep yourself stronger during tough times. It's a kind of trait that I would also want to possess when life gives you difficult obstacles.

"But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begins." - Mitch Albom, For One More Day

You and your mom have all your readers' support!

Prayers for you and your family. My mother passed early this year after a 16 month struggle, in and out of hospitals, rehab centers etc. Very stressful as you want so desperately to do something, anything to make it a little easier. Take care of her, and yourself. And thank you for your wonderful writing, your world's are magical, a real escape. Thank you and be well.

Sarah, i will send prayers to you and your precious mother, many blessings,

Shani

Oh Sarah! I am so sorry to hear about your mom. Please give her all of our best--she's in my prayers!

So sorry to hear about your mom. We can wait. Hang in there!

Stay strong during this difficult time. Sending prayers for your Mom and hugs to you.

You are in our prayers!!

So sorry to hear this. Hope she is well soon!

Sarah, I always enjoyed visiting with your mom when she would stop by and shop at my mom's store in downtown Asheville (frock boutique). She gave me a pen to promote your newest book at the time (First Frost) and I think she is a wonderful, feisty, and beautiful lady. I've wondered how she was doing lately and will keep her and all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Jenny Lane

(((Sarah))), I lost my mom back in February, to congestive heart failure. The blessing was that Alzheimer's did not take her. I was blessed to share her last six days with her, and it was truly incredible. Relish all this time you have with Mom...

I miss your writing, and look forward to whatever you bring us, next.

May you and your mom grow all the more thru all of this...
With love,
Donna

So sorry to hear about your mother, but very excited that there's a new book in the works. I only just discovered your books recently, and read them all in the space of a few weeks. Love love love them all; so glad I found you.
Best wishes for you and your mom.

Sending hugs and good woo to you and your mother.

Sarah-

You only get one mother, and you are doing the right thing by being by her side right now. Fans will wait, while you tend to her needs.

I am so sorry you are going through this, and I will say a special prayer for your mother. Sending you both a hug, and strength to you both to get you through this rough time.

Dear Sarah
As Audreyz says, you only get one mum. When my own mum was terminally ill 4 years ago, like you I put my life on hold to spend as much time as possible with her. It is painful and difficult to watch your dearest lifetime friend vulnerable, but so worthwhile and valuable to you both ultimately.

Kindest wishes to you and your family - your fans will all still be here, waiting patiently when you feel ready.

I am very sorry about your mother. This blog post was months ago, so I hope there has been an improvement. I just finished Garden Spells and it was so purely lovely that I can't stop smiling about it. I read The Girl Who Chased the Moon (which I also loved) and will be reading the rest of your books with purpose. I am looking forward to a new one in 2017!

hugs and strength to you and your family.
