Well, Steph's birthday (Feb 12th) came and went, Valentine's Day (14th) came and went and here we are on the 15th. Mom is mostly comatose at the moment and I think we're in the last phase as her breathing pattern has changed. She's in no pain but it is difficult to watch her grasp for breath. Hospice did a great job of preparing us for this stage - it's much worse on the family than it is on her. I just medicated her to hopefully ease the breathing.
The human soul is amazing though. She'll go when she goes. I just pray that she remains in no pain.
My prayers are with you and your family. Your mother is at peace and that is important. I envy you for the relationship that you had with your mother - something that I never had. My mother passed away 4 year ago and there is not a day that I don't think of her and understanding her as well.
ReplyDeletePeace to you all.
