You guys are helping more than you know.

Mom began having what we thought was a bad case of flu about the middle of January, but it just wasn't getting any better and she was losing tons of weight. Her regular doctor wasn't doing much to tell you the truth and we finally persuaded her to go to the emergency room when she nearly collapsed. After a lot of tests the only thing they could come up with was "gastritis"; it was sounding like she was getting better, and they had transferred her to the rehab section of the hospital. She was doing rehab twice a day for three hours at a time, and we all figured things were going fine. Then Friday morning she was literally fine one moment and gone the next.

My brother is out there with Dad now; he's done this dance three times before, with his wife's mother, father, and an aunt that was close. So he has things wired tight and when I talked to them this morning they are doing better than I am to tell the truth. I'll be going out probably Monday or Tuesday; it's Easter weekend so of course nothing can be done right now.

Makes me at least glad I never took having her for granted and the last thing she ever heard from me was a phone call the night before telling her how much I loved her.

Ah, Misty, please take care of yourself during this time. I lost my stepdad 2 years ago and while he had suffered from a stroke and Parkinson's Disease, it was still so very difficult and is still hard on my mom.

:hugs:

Oh, Misty, that sounds pretty close to how my grandmother passed a few years ago. I'm so sorry for your loss!

victoriavictrix what a shock, I am so sorry for your loss- but glad you spoke to her prior.
You just never know......

Sorry for your loss, victoriavictrix.

[victoriavictrix]

You do never know. So make sure you tell the people you love that you love them, often. You never know when it will be the last time.

I'm sorry for the loss and the pain but I'm glad you were able to have that kind of loving relationship and to share your heart with her like that.

My Mom died this morning.

So sorry to hear of your loss. It is always too soon. Keeping you in my prayers.
What a blessing that you got to speak to her on Thursday! {HUGS}
