Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 I am sending a note to let the group know that on Dec. 22 at 10:05PM Mom passed into the other life. I was with her and I must say that I feel certain that she is now at peace. We were unable to have her funeral until yesterday the 30th. but felt greatful to be able to have it prior to the second holiday. I feel it very important to say that I found so much comfort in belonging to this group. I know that when we were going thorugh each change, to be able to compare notes and read of others and how they faced a situation was such a help. I know that the knowledge gained about medications, cautions, and discussions we were able to pick and choose what medications at any given time we were willing to try, and we also knew when it was time to face the big (guns) meds that could and did in deed cause some major changes in Mom's ability to remain walking, etc. By the time we lost her she was unable to verbilize at all, but thank God that was only about 10 days proir to death, at that time Mom also was able to name and converse with my Brother and his wife that Mom didn't get to see very often. Thank you thank you thank you each and all for the good that you are doing by being willing to share information and not be afraid to face facts as they come. I will continue to monitor this sight and will share what we went though as questions come up and when others need what I was able to gleen from this group. At times this sight was my salvations in being able to move forward and to do as I needed. As I told Mom at the end " I done my best. " It hurts to lose your LO but, it hurts a lot more to see them suffer ith their lose. Joanne in Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 --Joanne, I have been off of my computer for some time now and just read your post. I am so very sorry for your loss. But you are right at least her suffering is over now. May God be with you and your family. I was afraid that I was going to lose my mother during the holidays also. She went through 3 days of not eating or drinking, she could not communicate at all and could not even walk. But she bounced back on the 4th day. I just do not understand this disease at all. One minute I think I am losing her and the next she is fine. I don't mean do sound rude but I thank God that your mother's suffering is over. I am sure you will have some very difficult times ahead of you so don't hesitate to log on and talk to us so we can help. Love and hugs. - In LBDcaregivers , " rebecca_j_recla " <jjrecla@h...> wrote: > I am sending a note to let the group know that on Dec. 22 at 10:05PM > Mom passed into the other life.
