    Prayers to you and your mother as the two of you go through these difficult times. I only have my 92 year old mother left and she has been the backbone of the family. Let her know how special she is and try to comfort her through these times. Stay strong my friend.

    Medicated is good.

    I watched my grandmother struggle, fight and claw to hang on. I think she was scared. She had done things she had never said she was sorry for or I think repented. It is a hard way to go.

    Your mother will go when she goes. It is out of your hands. It is in the LORDS hands.
    And when she is ready he will call her home. I don't think she is scared, or afraid, or not wanting to go.
    I think a lot of people just don't know how to let go.

    And at 67 I will admit the subject worries me some.
    But I have talked with the Lord about it and he tells me not to worry.

    He knows who I am and how I feel, after all he made me.
    Why would he not plan an ending that makes sense for me?
    I trust him, hopefully you can too.

    The machines are not good, not good to keep the body alive for long once the mind is gone. Just makes money for the hospital.

    I can admit that a part of me still feels some guilt over a conversation I had with my mother some 6 years back.
    We were visiting, dad and my wife left the room for something. I leaned over and told mom straight up. 3 days without drinking mom. No IV's, take no fluids, don't eat, just stop. And the pain will be over inside a week.
    2 months after we lost my dad she had a little cold. And after that she refused to eat or drink. And in 5 days she was gone.

    As I said, a part of me feels guilt over that. A bigger part of me says "bill you opened the door so your mom could rejoin her love. How can you be said, or ashamed of that?"

    And mostly I'm not, I know she is with dad. I was crying one night some 3-4 months after her funeral. Some show where the mom died.
    And I'm sobbing, tears rolling down my face. And I feel her hand on my left shoulder. Her voice whispers "Bill you are doing just FINE. Just carry on as you are, all is well" And then I felt dad's heavy hand on my right shoulder, and a very soft "love you son"

    And then I see in my mind a picture, mom with her hand on my left, dad on the right, both smiling down with love.
    And behind them is the LORD with his hands on their shoulders, looking at them, and me, the same way.

    But what do I know, maybe I'm just a crazy ol man who hears and see's crazy stuff.

    So be it, I'll own it.

    Dave, I can't say how sorry I am for your loss of your mom! As you know moms are so important to us and I pray that God grant you please and healing. May God bless you with a flood of good memories and those special moments you shared with her over your life. Dave, God will get you through the grieving ..... but I believe that your mom is still there with you .... you just have to listen to your heart and she will be there for you....Paul

    Dave I feel your pain. But quick and easy is the best possible way to go.

    2 weeks ago we heard that the aunt we spent 6 weeks with in New Orleans had passed in her sleep. She lived a long full life and did it with style and grace. No tears here for Skelly. We miss her of course, as do her children, her friends, her neighbors. But no tears, no regrets.

    I hope that in a short amount of time you will be able to feel the same about your mom. Mom's are special, period. Sorry you lost yours.

    Best regards

    Bill in Fargo

    Dave, my friend, you are the living testament to your Mom. In every interaction I've had with you, you've been kind, generous, and thoughtful. The kind of man every mother wants her son to be.
    I'm sure she is looking down on you proudly and lovingly, from Heaven.
    I am so sorry for your loss.

    I'm sorry Dave. You will still feel her and hear her if you listen. My Mom has been gone for almost ten years and I still can hear her now and then if I listen or talk to her. Prayers sent.

    Dave the Lord finished her Mansion and came to take her to be with him. Take time to rejoice. Grieve and heal for the loss of a beloved mother. But know this was not the end of the story, you will see her again for eternity. Let the joyful memories carry you because those memories will carry you forward. Praying for you as you go forward.

    Dave,
    It will take a while, but the hurt will become less intense. Keep all of the good memories up front, and smile for the years and the love. Our hearts and prayers are with you.
