I pray wonderful memories ease the grief of your loss. They won't remove it but make dark days bearable.
She's in God's care now. May you and your family find peace and strength during this sad time.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.
