Dear Sue,

This is so hard. You have to make the transition from fighting with everything you've got to letting her go. You've been fighting by her side for so long, that it's almost unimaginable that you would stop. But I think your Mom may need your help with the next step.

When my mother was nearing the end of her cancer of the esophagus, she took my hand and said: you have to let me go now. You belong to life, I have to move on. I need for you to let me go.

What do you think your Mom would want you to do? How can you help her now? I know that letting my Mom go made her passing easier. I am glad she went in peace.

Wishing you wisdom, strength and hugging you from the other side of the ocean,

Jacqueline
