Mom passed away today shortly before noon
with my sister Judy and I by her side...
we were fortunate to have a wonderful team from
Crossroads Hospice
with us once we started the morphine yesterday
I know she is with her family in Heaven now
right where she belongs
I will grieve
of course
my heart is filled with the JOY of her life
the end to her earthly pain and suffering
I have been such a lucky daughter
My heart goes out to you with the loss of your Sweet Mother. Know that God is with you. I love the words of In The Garden...it's my favorite. Hugs and Prayers, Carolyn

ReplyDeleteI have subscribed to your blog via Feedly for the last couple of years and am fairly confident I have read all of your posts during that time. I have been consistently struck by your devotion to and love for your mother. You didn't just pay lip service to being a good daughter; you were in the trenches day in and day out, being there for your mom and demonstrating your love. You gave us a sweet, yet unflinching, look at a real mother-daughter relationship. Thank you for that. I wish you solace.
ReplyDeleteEchoing all of the above comments. You know, I hold you in high regard for the loving caregiver that you've been. Peace be with you, Kelley.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you, your sister and especially your mom.....she was a lucky lady to have such a loving, kind, caring daughter...you were her world as well as she yours.....may you all find comfort and peace......may we each have someone in our lives as you had in yours.......

Dear Kelley:
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. Your mother had the best care and love anyone could ever hope for. I loved reading your posts about your Mom and prayed her passing would be safe and peaceful. You see I lost my mom April 4th after a long illness and we were able to keep her at home, because my sister quit her job and stayed with her 24-7. God bless you and I hope you find peace and serenity now that your mom no longer has to suffer. Take care care of yourself.
Lila
My heart is heavy as I think about your dear mother's death. I lost my mother four years ago in April and I still grieve for her. May you find comfort in that, just as I was, you were there when your mother needed you most. We were both blessed to have a very special mother, weren't we? Please know that you and your sister will be in my prayers during the coming days.
ReplyDeleteLove from Diane in North Carolina.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your Mom. You were an amazing daughter and friend to her.
