for yourself - that is so important right now!

My mom is finally FREE

Hi Everyone

My mom, Margaret , passed away last night around 2 am. I was not there as

I had thought I might be, but I left it all in God's hands and I believe my mom

wanted to spare me anymore pain. I have been busy all day with arrangements and

booking a place to have a reception etc... Lots to do. She was 85 and lived the

last 2+ years with a mind that did not work at all. We had no conversation at

all. She could not get any words out that made any sense at all unless someone

was hurting her. I have had several melt downs and I know I will have several

more. She never did officially get on to Hospice. I did lots of paperwork, but

the RN did not get a chance to see her.. Thank you to all of you. I never would

have made it without this group to help with her care and to give me those pep

talks that I really needed to get through to the next thing.

Again, have a wonderful trip to Ann Arbor. I will be thinking of you all. I may

be quiet for a while as family will be coming into town.

So happy to know that you are okay Sandie. I know you will have a wonderful

time.

Dena - Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your

mom... You're not alone in having the mixed emotions. There's relief

b/c she's finally free from the grips of Lewy; but at the expense of

having to leave you & the rest of your family. Expect a roller

coaster of emotions - all normal... We're here for you whenever you

need to vent. Take some time for yourself too during this difficult

time.

Dear Dena,

I write with deep feelings of relief for both you and your mother. You can now

send up

praises that she is free and out of pain. Her end of life was very similar to

Mom's, very

difficult to witness, and to have to deal with. I know you still have a lot of

caregiving with

extended family, but rest well now and heal. We thought of you often in Ann

Arbor.
