Re: Mom's Prayers Were Answered

[Guest guest]

mary m,

tears rolling down my face for you in pain and joy, the pain of losing your

mom but the joy that she is with the man of her dreams, feel free to take a

break, but know that you are family to all of us here, take care and celebrate

her life and your dads life as i am sure that is what they both would want,

please take care of yourself, you will have time on your hands that you dont

know what ot do with, so please slowly start doing some different things,

something you have wanted to do, but never had time to do, take a painting

class,

plant a tree or maybe a peace lily in your home to remind yourself of the peace

that your parnets now have again together, good luck mary, hugs hugs andmore

hugs, sharon m

a smile a day keeps the meanies away!!!

laughter is a breath of fresh air!

Hello everyone. I just wanted to let you know that Mom's prayers were

answered and she went to be with our Lord and my Dad on Oct. 28. I

was holding her in my arms, talking to her and praying when she left

us and I am so thankful I was with her. I had been telling her I

loved her and that she was the best Mom ever, caressing her forehead

(which would always calm her) and holding her hand for almost 48

hours straight. Even though hospice had told us on Tues. evening and

again on Thurs. morning that it would be soon, it was still very

hard. I miss her so much! We were best friends and we spent so much

time together since my Dad's death in 1986. She was a special person

who touched many lives and we celebrated that at her funeral. I am

so thankful that we were able to care for her in our home the last 14

months of her life. Although, as you all know, it was very difficult

at times, neither my husband nor I have any regrets. Our lives were

changed and I believe that God led us on this journey for a reason.

We laid her to rest on Monday and I still feel like it was all a

dream. Even though we knew the time was near, it is still very hard

to let go. The only thing holding me together right now is my faith

which I shared with her, and knowing that she is now happy and with

our Lord and my Dad. She no longer has to deal with this terrible

disease.

I am so thankful for all of you and such caring and love that I found

here. You have no idea what a lifeline you have been every day.

There were many days that I am not sure what I would have done if I

hadn't had this group to turn to for encouragement and prayers.

I will probably take a short break for a while but believe I will be

back. I feel that it is important to try to help others if I can, as

Sandie does so faithfully, in memory of my Mom.

I will continue to pray for all of you and your loved ones, please

keep us in your prayers, too, as we learn to live without Mom.

God Bless You,

M

I want to send you my support during this difficult time. The love you have

for your mother really shows through in your post and I just know that your

mom felt it to. How very brave of you and your husband to be there for her

for the last 14 months of her life and I am so very proud of you both.

Also, that you held your mom while she passed from this earth - your

kindness will never be forgotten. You have become such an example for me,

thank you.

I am so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. You did so much for your mom and

were a very caring daughter.

My thoughts are with you during this time.
