My mom has become unresponsive, won't drink, won't eat, and all bodily functions seem to be coming to an end. I feel bad because she is going and bad because she has stayed this long in that condition. I am coming apart at the seams little by little and now is not a time I can afford to do that. Keep me strong, friends. These next few days should be the end. Pray for a quik and peaceful passing. She has suffered so very much. Pray especially for my father. They have been married 63 years and have not been apart except when he was drafted. Oh, God. I wish I were someone else today.

You will be in my prayers. I am so sorry.

Will do.



I'm so sorry you are going through this.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you. Stay strong.

I am praying for you right now. God give you strength and peace.

You are such a good kind soul to be there with her. Deep inside she knows you are there. I will pray for her peaceful release.

This will make you stronger in the long run.



You and your mother and father have my prayers.

You and your family are in my prayers.

My thoughts are with your family. I'm so sorry.

*hugs* VB loves you, and by extension, we love your mom.

Sorry to hear this Life2k, try and keep it together for your dad, he's gonna need you

Wishing and hoping you find the strength you need now and peace when this is done.

Wow, you are in a really rough spot. My thoughts are with you and your family. I’m sure this will be hard for you and your family but I know you will find the strength you need.

i wish you all many blessings through this coming transition.



my thoughts and prayers are with you.

life2k, i am thinking of you and will include you in my prayers as well.

My thoughts are with you and your loved ones. Please, stay strong.

This sounds like a really hard time for you and your family. I will be thinking of you and your family. I wish you the ability to do what you absolutely need to do, but don't feel as if you need to be a superwoman. It's ok to be sad, or even crazy in these situations. It's ok to ask friends for help, it's ok to tell people you just have to lose it for a while so someone else will have to take over. I'm sure what ever happens you will be a great daughter to your mother and father in their times of need and they will be thankful for your presence and help and comfort however stressed out you feel.

You and your family are in my prayers.

x 1000, L2K. If you need someone to talk to, or someone to just listen, don't hesitate okay? My thoughts are with you and your family.

We all feel that way sometime, it's hard.

Just checking in with you. Mom is still with us, but the hospice nurse says any time now and no more than 3 or 4 days at the most.



I so appreciate your love and kind thoughts. Your shared strength and prayers are working. I am hanging together relatively well and so is my poor little Daddy. My sister has come in from Texas and is being a blessing. My boys are resigned, but oddly enough, my husband is taking it hard.



Thanks again for your kindness, Friends.

Life

Life, x100



I'll do everything I can. I wish your mother and the entire family only the best

i'm so sorry your in this situation l2k, your in my thoughts & prayers tonight.look after yourself

You are in my thoughts. Best wishes.

Still thinking of you, Life2K.

Me too.

Mom died about an hour ago. It was peaceful and now she is no longer in pain.



I too am at peace and want to thank each of you for your support. I am entering unknown territory, but my family is together. We will make it.



What is proper etiquete for us at this time? I have no idea. I know hiding won't be acceptable, which is my first impulse. Can anyone give me suggestions?

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, Life. That's good that she went peacefully and that you have support of family. I can't imagine how hard it would be, or what one would do to cope. My thoughts are with you though.

Life2K, I am so glad that your mom went peacefully and that her suffering is over. But I am also so sorry that you lost her.



I think it is OK to hide a little. Don't let anyone make you fell like you "should" be doing something...this is your time to work through your grief as you need to.
