My mom and sister are both nurses and they have said over and over that someone will not pass until people leave the room. People hold vigils and finally after days and days everybody says "let's all go for a bite to eat" by the time they set foot in the elevator the person is gone. I don't know what that is.. I guess we'll have to wait and see. I'm glad she went in peace and without pain.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905054093214176999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203784860612271549.post-3458675517962610882008-08-01T19:35:00.000-05:002008-08-01T19:35:00.000-05:00Shelley, Your mother was very beautiful and lucky....Shelley, Your mother was very beautiful and lucky.

I try to let each of them know how special they are to me as often as possible. I know your mom had to be very proud of you, being there with her at the hardest time of her life. Your story of her lasts days speaks of a strong woman with an equally strong daughter. Just know I'm praying for you and yoursAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203784860612271549.post-72228829191545216142008-07-29T14:30:00.000-05:002008-07-29T14:30:00.000-05:00Shelly, I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am deeply sorry for this difficult period and the eventual loss of your mother. <BR/>Your mother's picture is very beautiful. Your post is an equally beautiful eulogy of her last days. Thanks for sharing.<BR/>I commend you for being such a 'rock'--not many people could face such difficult times with the mental and emotional fortitude that you've displayed. I did not say spiritual fortitude because I realize that perhaps it is because of your spiritual strength that you were able to deal with these past years and especially the last 2 weeks.<BR/>As children of God, we recognize that this is not the end, and also not a time of despair or grief.<BR/>I pray and hope for God's continued blessings for you and your family.<BR/>Take care and God Bless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203784860612271549.post-47537376918258484562008-07-29T13:11:00.000-05:002008-07-29T13:11:00.000-05:00Shelly, again I am so sorry about your mom.

I can still remember the sound of her breathing and the darkness of the room. I believe she's in heaven as well, hopefully with my grandma. be grateful that you have no regrets. i can tell that you were a great child and she loved you dearly. From what you've said, we can see that you took great care of her and she apprecieated it. She will forever be looking down on you from heaven. Bless you and your family.Amiyrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791445635682913190noreply@blogger.com
