Wednesday was my Mom’s 92 birthday.
The past two weeks she has been very sick. I took her to the hospital on the 5th, as she didn’t feel well.
They said that there was really nothing they could do for her. She was transferred to the Hospice House on Wednesday.
Things would get better than worse. I sat with her all night for her birthday. At 7am Thursday she took her last breath.
I want to thank everyone here for their support.
Ed
So sorry Ed... :-(
Prayers for you and your family. It is so hard to lose a mom. {{{hugs}}}
Very sorry to hear. I went through it in 2015. Condolences.
Prayers and condolences to you and your family.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Ed. She had a long life and a son who cared for her ... pretty good!
So sorry to hear of your loss. Losing your mother is very difficult. Prayers for you to capture the wonderful moments of your lives together in your memories. She’ll be proud to look down on you into eternity.
Peace be with you, Ed. I’m glad you were able to be with your mother during her final hours.
Prayers for you. Hang in there. It can be a rough ride.
Lord have mercy. May her memory be eternal.
I am sorry. Praying for you and your family.
I’m so sorry.
Prayers sent.
Ed thanks for posting. Husky Ed and I are brothers. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
She was the definition of a mother, and I know that she passed through the gates of Heaven that second her last breath left her body and met her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Losing our parents makes us orphans at whatever age that happened.
A good friend told my wife and I that reality, when we lost our Mothers.
Everyday, that reality is there. No more phone calls, birthday cards, hugs, and “I love you!”
Their love lasts forever! So do the good memories!
You are in my prayers, Ed. It sounds that you were there for her in her last days and hours.
I am sorry to hear. May she rest in peace.
Prayers and condolences from me. Though you feel grief, know that she had a long good life. And take comfort in knowing her life was fulfilling.
So sorry for your loss. I am happy you were able to be with her during her final hours. I’m sure your presence was very comforting for her.
Ed, sorry to learn of your loss.
I can relate, since my mother is in skilled nursing, at age 93. Her dementia is growing worse, but they can’t tell us if she will die in days, weeks or years.
My sister’s fulltime job is caring for her. The plan as of yesterday, is to take her home tomorrow.
As I remind our family, it is “one day at a time.”
