Bay, after being gone for several weeks i signed in this morning to see that your Mom has passed. i am so sorry for your loss. i know you love her dearly and you have done everything you possibly could to honor her wishes. this time last year i was sitting with my mom, who was also on hospice, and we talked about life and death and the things she did and didn't want. you are a good daughter and she is so proud of you. you and your family are in my prayers. Gods comfort and peace be with you.
I too have been absent due to the AR grands being here.
I still have my mom, at 84 and healthy. But I know I'm facing her time over the next ten years or so. I LOVED all the supportive comments and heartfelt phrases from this group. I join them, but without the eloquence of words, to let you know that you and your Mother were something special. Hugs...
@baymule , I know I am a new member here and am not as familiar with your Mother as most of the members here. Know that my thoughts are with you and your family. I am not much of a hugger but if you need to grieve, share, or remember the times you've had with your Mother, well I am a great listener. May she rest peacefully.
The funeral went well. Mom was carried by 4 grandsons, 1grandson in law and 1great grandson. How appropriate. The church had lunch for us and family got a chance to relax and visit before hitting the road. It felt a little weird to be the one on the receiving end, instead of cooking a dish and serving.
I did my grieving and crying watching Mom die a little bit at a time. I was saddened by the loss of her brilliant mind. My grief is done. I am happy for her, happy that she has relief, but most of all I am happy that she has her reward in heaven. No more grieving for me. I'm good.
