I use to stay strong for my family but these days I find I cant hold back the tears. I drove Mum to the hospital on Mondayand it felt as if it was the last time I would. She was so yellow and so sick!! I drove the whole way fighting back the tears.
The doctor are doing all they can to control the pain but have said they have nothing else they can do for her. So know its a matter of trying to tell her everything I want to before it's to late and making sure I organise everything she would like. My only problem here is what do I want to say and what do you organise?
I feel lost, in shock and mostof all helpless.....

The conclusion to my post is that Mum mother did pass, we had her funeral and I feel like I told her everything i needed too. Mum passing will always be a shock and I will always miss her. But I know that I did all I could for her when she was her esp in the last 3wks of her life. I know she knows I love her and will always. I think her funeral was a wonderful celebration of her life and I know she was there on the day feeling ever so proud of her family and probably shocked by the hundreds of people who came to pay her respects. Mum would have also loved the facted we asked that people not send flowers but donate money to the breast cancer fundation. Breast cancer affects so many women and there families. Its really very sad... |

Emma. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I will pray for you and the rest of your family as you adjust to the gaping hole left in the fabric of your tribe. How wonderful that you had the wisdom and insight to spend such deep and quality time together..... saying things of importance to each other. Your last days together are significant memories to tide you thru the cold of winter and the reality of your loss. What a blessing you were for her in those final days.

I am really happy for you that you were able to talk to your mother about everything before she passed.... I know from experience because my mother passed a lil over a month ago and i didn't get to talk to her about important things that that one conversation with your mother will make all the difference... i know it's hard... i know there is a whole in your heart that will never go away but i also know that God will help us all... |
