Wow. And also wow---the changes so evident in the photo this June. The fall, the other symptoms snowballing on her. All of that takes me back to the last year or two of my mom's life. <br />I am telling you, Dyanne, I wish I was there to hug you. The good daughter in you is so right to not want her to suffer. And the smart daughter in you is so right to know that even though you know it is right and good, you sooooo don't want to lose your mom. I don't care how old or lets say mature we get---we are never ready to lose our moms. We just aren't. My heart goes out to you and to her and to your dad and to your whole family. Peace be with you. That's all I got. It's hard. It stinks. It's life. Just peace---if I could wish peace on you, that would be great!Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485338098212307793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-65601683232925357212016-07-12T05:00:17.843-05:002016-07-12T05:00:17.843-05:00💕💔💕💕💔💕Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864898827831713032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-59005191064655578202016-07-12T04:59:53.214-05:002016-07-12T04:59:53.214-05:00💕💔💕💕💔💕Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864898827831713032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-63240378395773780642016-07-09T13:38:40.825-05:002016-07-09T13:38:40.825-05:00Wow.

I remember many in our family feeling similarly when it was time for my Grandmother to move on - she was showing some early signs in addition to her cancer. Enough, Lord.

My heart truly goes out to you and your family, as mine have been through the same thing, but with my Dad, a few months back.<br />When he passed, we all cried, and still miss him so very much but, like you with your Mum, we realised that Dad was finally at peace, and that does help, a little :/<br />I will say a prayer for your Mum, along with my prayers for Dad, and I hope she has as peaceful a passing as Dad had - that's all we can ask for when it comes to this stage, I fear :(Ouch Potatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342564916734604495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-39228988004425982652016-07-02T18:32:21.673-05:002016-07-02T18:32:21.673-05:00I'm crying as I type this, as what you are goi...I'm crying as I type this, as what you are going through now is exactly what I went through ten years ago with my dad. He didn't have the same illnesses and conditions as your mom but what he did have had the same effect - my mom and me caring for him at home initially, then the nursing home when we could no longer cope, his gradual then rapid decline until it got to the point that when I left after a visit I didn't know if he would still be alive the following day. I must confess I'm not terribly religious but although I couldn't bear for him to go I've never prayed so hard in my life before for his suffering to come to an end, and in a way it was a relief when it did.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this, I know what you're going through is hard in more ways than one. Sending you and your family hugs and prayers Tigermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386636767916316587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-15331254275123022832016-07-02T18:30:46.254-05:002016-07-02T18:30:46.254-05:00Written as only a daughter who loves deeply could ...Written as only a daughter who loves deeply could do. It made me cry for her and for your father, and for you. I wish that leaving this life didn't so oftem have to be a slow, heartrending experience, but you have done the very best for her, and most importantly, you have been there with her all the way. That's love, and her heart knows even if her mind doesn't. I add my prayers to yours.
