I'm glad you will have good memories of your mother. I'm sorry for your loss.

Wanda, my thoughts and prayers are with you darlin', I'm glad she went peacefully and your last memories with her are good.

Wanda So sorry.

 

[2dream]

Thank you all so much. Just to let you know - I am ok with this. Not happy but ok. She lived a very long life. Much longer than most of us can ever hope for and she had a good life. In her lifetime she had very little illness but like all of us suffered heartaches which is all a part of this life.

She is in a much better place with no trials and tribulations, no pain or suffering. We are all sad but at peace.

For those of you who notice. I am just a little crazy. I had todays date as the day she passed. My mother passed yesterday. Saturday the 10th not today.

I loved the Funeral Fork....such a great story! 2D, I'm so glad you had hospice for her and I'm so glad you had all those good years with a wonderful mom. That makes all the difference in one's life.

I think she did a great job, BTW!

Thanks for sharing with us 2dream. Life is not so much about what we "do", but who we are.

to you.

I have never had to deal with anything like this before. When my brother died, I was young and my mother and father handled it all. When my Dad died, my mother handled the majority of it. Hospice was not something I had ever dealt with at any time in my life. When my husband was diagnosed with Lou Gehrigs we both knew I would be faced with many decisions. Neither of us had a clue what was to come or how it really needed to be dealt with.
A few days after his diagnosis my mother fell ill. I have learned so much in dealing with her/Drs/Hospitals/Hospice and it has given my husband and myself time to talk and really understand what is coming. Finding this Hospice Ministry was a God send not only for my mom but for me as well. My husband loved the place and has already told me when the time comes it is where he wants to be.
So even in her final days, she gave me an education that will be much needed in the days to come and the knowledge that I can meet any future trials head on and armed with the necessary stamina and fortitude. So even in her last days she was still teaching me lifes lessons. What more can you ask for from a parent?

What a blessing she has been to you! I know the loss is hard, but how much better to know she is home in heaven.

 

[Beekissed]

Yes...HOME....doesn't that sound good? I will meet her someday there and some of you as well. Home safe...remember that game SORRY? I always picture Heaven as that one spot where all your little pieces arrive and can no longer be picked off by another player and then you win.

Home!
