~My Angel Mother-in-Law Has Earned Her Wings!~

[Believe51]

Thanks to you all during this sad time in our life. Ed and I looked for a nice picture for the obit but no luck. I just wrote her obituary and it is simply devine, I will have to share it when it is official. I guess the peace I feel about this has allowed me to write without really crying. I can only hope I can speak when I do the reading I wrote for her 'Celebration of Life'. Right now we are waiting for out of state relatives travelling from Colorado and Florida. She is getting cremated so the grieving process feels like it is ongoing and without some closure. It will all happen with time. Thanks again for giving me the special thoughts and strength to do such hard feats no matter how relieved I am for her. I miss her already and I keep thinking I will wake up.>>Believe51

Marie,

My Mother-in-law passed away January 6 after a lengthy suffering of Alzheimer's. What you had written about your Mother-in-law could well be a description of mine. So I can understand and feel your grief.

Please be strong for both Ed and you. My husband had supressed his grief for quite a long time after the funeral. It's often hard for men to process their emotion. Especially that Ed is the one who's battling cancer, you are really shouldering lots, lots of the burden. Be sure to take good care of yourself.
