hi,
Last night at 9:50 pm we lost our mother. She was sick for a long time, and she was happy. She didn't want to go to the hospital, and she got things her way. She caught a cold bug from someone, it doesn't matter who, and she wasn't strong enough to fight it off. Maybe she was tired of fighting, and was ready to see her own mother and father again.
She was lucid Monday, and still making demands Sunday, then yesterday, she just sat there on her couch, and wouldn't talk, didn't watch T.V., and although I was able to give her a small drink of her favorite wine, she wasn't drinking wine.
She had me on her left side, and her son, my husband on her right, and we watched over her and were there until the end.
I was stubborn, and tried to give her air in the end, because she meant so much to me, as me husband cried and accepted the inevitable.
I have learned so much from my mother in law, and I am going to miss her. She is happier now, and I wanted to thank Kaye for suggesting that our home for her was her Heavenly luck, because it was. I believe the manifestations I put into effect helped her go smoothly and quietly. She went so fast I still can't comprehend it.
