Mom died on Wed at 2pm. She didnt have any pain & Dad & I were with her. It was

loving, lovely & peaceful.( exactly what Mom wanted, she & I had talked about

it)

My sis didnt stay, Dad & I caught her stealing antique hummels on sunday &

her embarrassment kept her away most of the time. We didnt say anything to her,

just took the hummels & we made sure she knew she was welcome to be there with

Mom. She visited mom whenever she wanted.( we locked everything up) She came on

Wed, said goodbye to mom, said she was going home for her meds & never came

back. I m glad I was there for Mom & Dad. Dad was glad too. It was the hardest,

yet most rewarding thing I ve ever done. I loved her dearly & I was honored to

be with her at the end. Her other children opted not to be there, I understand,

it was very hard.

We talked to my other sis about my sis s bizarre behavior & encepholopathy &

she s keeping an eye out on sis. There s nothing else I can do. My sis is

drinking again & stealing meds from relatives. Since she s so unstable, we

changed the locks on dads house after Mom passed. Its all horribly sad but we

didnt know what else to do. I feel so sorry for her, her mom died & she s very

sick. But I have to protect my dad too.

I m in horrible pain & I m exhausted but it was worth it. I 'll be ok thu. I

m at peace, Moms at peace. I take solice in knowing Mom is in a better place

now, without pain. But I miss her already.

Abijann,

You & your hubby are in my prayers. I ll pray for you both hun. Your hubby

has pulled thru before & I pray he pulls thru this too. My heart goes out to

you. Please take care of yourself sweetie.

warm hugs & many prayers,

tilly

Dad called last night, mom can no longer eat or drink & is in a semi

coma like state. Because she s on hospice, shes just getting comfort

meds. The bone cancer she has is VERY aggresive. I dont think she ll

last much longer.

Dad asked me to come & stay w/ him,my sis & our mom. I wont be around,

he doesnt have internet. He needs my help w/ mom & sis. ( & for him, he

wouldnt say that thu) I m happy to help my family but this is gonna be

hard. Pray for us. Mom doesnt need prayers, I know were she s going

A better place She & I talked, we both think she ll still be able to

see us ( I told her I expect her to haunt my ass, she laughed) I can

feel spirits & I ll look forward to her visits.

Yes dear friends, I ll take care of me too. Tom ll make sure of it. He

s my rock.

& Dorothy thank you for your post. Been there done that. I had to go

to a chronic pain clinic to get over it. I m not dying but I am severly

disabled & in constant, nonstop pain so I do understand. Thank you for

the reminder. I drove my family NUTS trying to control everything. I

coldnt control my own body, my life was totally changed. I needed to

control something !!

I m in a daze, I didnt think it would be this soon. Her last meal was

the fresh strawberry pie I brought her. She loved it !( on thursday)

Pray that mom goes peacefully & that we can handle it.

thank you for being here.

love,

linda tilly

love ya

I'm so sorry. It's so rewarding to know someone like you. You are teaching me to

see the positive in what most people would only find negative. May your mother

rest in peace with

all the angels.And God bless you, Tilly.
