Dorothy,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I hope

that despite the fact your relationship with your mom was strained by

the stresses of the past year, that many years of happy memories can

comfort you during this time.

Be sure to take care of yourself, take the time you need to grieve and

to give yourself that extra attention to keep your nerves calm.

*Hugs*

Hello everyone,

I am signing in quickly to thank everyone for the energy and prayers

that

were sent on behalf of my mother. She passed away at 11:30 yesterday

morning.

In the last year and a half, I lived with my mother and our relationship

ended up being very strained. The nurses asked that we as a family make

up

a schedule so that someone would always be there with her as she kept

pulling at the tubes and they could not be there to sit by her side and

hold

her hand down so that the only remaining IV site would remain viable.

Somehow it was me who ended up sitting with her through the night and I

left

the hospital at around 6ish. I was coming home to sleep for a few hours

and

was going to go right back up there. A big part of me thought that

since

she had made it through the most critical night that she was going to be

able to fight to make it. Unfortunately that part was wrong.

I also wanted to say thank you to Chris for sending that information to

me.

I very much appreciate it.

thanks again,

Dorothy
