Re: It's happening
Sue,
You are nothing short of amazing. I am so deeply saddened for your loss, but I know your mom is so very, very proud of to have you as a daughter. What a true testament of loyalty and love you are.
God bless you through this difficult time, and may he give you and the rest of your family strength, comfort and peace.
Please keep in touch.
Hayley

Re: It's happening
Sue,
It is important to be with our loved ones on the journey every step of the way.
I was with my Mother-in-law during the last night she spent on this earth. My Sister-in-law took over at 10 pm and stayed with 'Mom' until her very last breath early next morning.
As my Father-in-law (and my own Father) likes to state:
It's more important to have treat the loved ones right when they are with us than to spent a huge sum on the funeral.
You have been a wonderful daughter to your Mom, as we all have been witnessing here. I pray (and believe) that you will go through the next stages with the same kind of grace and strength you have been demonstrating to us.
'Love never fails'. Your love for her will last forever...as will her love for you.
