Mom has gone home.

[phdwannabe]

I was able to spend a little over an hour with my mom this morning before work. At about ten o'clock I got a call telling me she didn't look good, so I went to be with her. My sister and I sat with her, stroking her, touching her, trying to release her and comfort her, but really afraid to touch her too much for fear of causing discomfort. At 1:15 my niece walked in and closely enfolded Mom in her arms, rocking her head and shoulders and crying. Mom sighed and let go. I think she just needed to be held tightly. I'm very grateful to my niece for helping her. It was time. With her Alzheimer's she's really been gone for so long. Still it was a long, hard day. I'm very tired and I face another long day tomorrow making arrangments for her.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Good night to all of you.

Love,
Lynn :(

*Hugs* Lynn. My thoughts and prayers are with you... even when expected, a loss of someone so close is very, very difficult. Just know that you're being remembered in this really tough time.

Lynn, I am sorry for the loss of your mother. How fortunate that you were able to be with her until the end. My MIL had alzheimers and died alone at the nursing home. DH was very upset that no one had informed him that she was going downhill. He has been haunted by the fact that she died alone since he would have liked to be there for her. We felt the same way about MIL, she had been gone for so long and only her shell lingered here. We were uplifted that she died on Easter day and felt that it was a sign that she had been resurrected to a new life.

Lynn, I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family. My mother had Alzheimer's or some other form of senile dementia, too, and, while you do some of your grieving beforehand, as your loved one loses her facilities, the final loss is still very hard.

Lynn,

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom, Don't really know you yet, but wish I could give you a big hud, because I know how you are feeling this morning. Take care and remember God is taking care of her more now than ever.

[myrap]

Lynn, Sorry that should be give you a big hug, not hud.

Dear Lynn - please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your mother. I just lost my dad two weeks ago and can really sympathize with you. My dad's physical health had been going downhill for sometime, but, as you know, even though you expect it, it is never easy to "let go." We can both be comforted to know that they no longer are suffering. Take care, Lynn. I will remember you and your family in my prayers.

[ShrinkingMo,]

My dear friend, I'm SO sorry for you loss, but glad that you were there with you mom went she went to our Lord. I just can't express to you how I feel for you right now but know that you & your loved ones will be in my thoughts and prayers during this troubled time.....God Bless You.

Lynn,

Even though we've only just met, I want you to know you and your family are in my prayers. Two weeks from today is the 6th anniversary of my mom's passing. Like you, I was able to be with her right at the end of her life, and it was a beautiful thing.

Looking at all the messages here, it's easy to see how loved and cared about you are by the Buddies. May it be a consolation to you.

With deep sympathies,
Tony Florida

Lynn: Please accept my condolences at this sorrowful time in your life. I just wanted you to know that even though I'm not with you, my prayers and thoughts are. :(

Lynn, my sincere condolences. Sheila

[redhotmama]

Lynn, (((((((((((((((HUGS, dear buddy)))))))))))))))))))! My deepest condolences to you and your family. Be glad you were with her at the end - it somehow makes the progression of grieving easier. My mom died in 1990 in a hospital and none of us kids were there: she was in for observation and was to be released the next morning. I never got a chance to say goodbye. My prayers are with you, my friend! smile.gif

Lynn I send the deepest regrets to you and your family. It has been a year today we lost my FIL and he was starting to slip in his mind. My MIL and her sister are room mates and they don't know each other so when I say I understand this is the biggest understatment. The family both sides are in this condition and last year lost 4 with it, the thing we (DH) and the whole family knows they are in better place when they pass. So glad you were with her. ********{HUG}}}}} Dianne

[kittycat]

****{LYNN}}} So sorry to hear of your loss. Although you were expecting it, that doesn't make it any easier to bear. Try to remember the happier times and that may help get through the grief a little better. Hugs to you and your family.
