I lost my daughter a few months ago to a horrible cancer, and I, like your mom, was able to lay with and hold my daughter for her last few hours. Please know the peace it has given me to know she was surrounded by those who loved her. I am sure it is the same with your mom. And you are right, they are in a much better place.
So sorry for your loss.
Wishing, I'm so sorry to hear this. I lost my son at age 7 and it's just not supposed to happen this way, is it? Thank you so much for your post.
Everyone, Thank you so much for all your posts. The last couple of weeks have been tough but y'all made it better for me by being here.
I'm home now and on Thurs I leave for CHI. I don't even want to go but.......we're going.
I called my Mom yesterday between flights and told her that when we (my sis BIL and me) left, she was standing in the driveway waving and crying. I told her that I felt like I'd just left a puppy beside the road in the country.
My Mom has "never" lived alone until now!!! And....she's 78!!! I told her about MG's mom and how her H died about a year and a half ago. She's enjoying, for the first time in her life, doing whatever she wants, spending whatever she wants, etc.
My parents have wonderful neighbors and they've all promised to check up on her and take her out. I hope she'll be OK...... She has plans to act/sing in a local play and she wants to volunteer for hospice as they were so wonderful to my Dad.
Anyway, thank you again for all your prayers and support.
