I pray wonderful memories ease the grief of your loss. They won't remove it but make dark days bearable.
Update, Mom passed 12/24/2017 about 1:00 p.m. I missed being there by about 15 minutes. The nursing home hadn't had time to let me know and the staff was afraid to talk to me when I told them I thought she had gone to her maker. After I assured them I had no fuss, they became sympathetic and explained the time line. I was so grateful her suffering ended that all my stress left me; though, I now have a profound sadness, but I'm relaxed now. Here's to Frances Jackson McDonald, a great mom, world traveler (lived in 5 countries), and world class party giver; love you!
I did this very thing Saturday. I could tell she was stressed by the expression on her face and ragged breathing. You know, her faced eased and she started breathing easier after I told her my goodbyes and that I'd take care of her and return her to her family. I had a feeling this was my last chance to talk to her.
Thanks so much for your prayers and best wishes. I know I'm not the only one who's gone through this and my prayers are with you too.
Truly have a merry Christmas (I will I'm having kids and fiances over for Christmas Dinner) and may your health never flag.
