Jennie,

It is not an easy thing to watch our parents pass away, both of mine lingered for about 30 days from the time they were admitted to the hospital, both of them went through periods of clarity and then confusion. I felt guilty about a couple of times I lost patience with them while they were in a confused state. I truly beat myself up over it.

When my mother was in the hospital I took a leave from my job, my sister would travel in from across the state for a few days and then go back my wife would also drive to Orlando from Tampa as often as she could but most of the time it would be mom & me. My mother had gotten to the point where she only wanted very few people around her, this transformation happened rather quickly after she was diagnosed with liver cancer. Before then she visited people all the time as well as write letters, chat online and on the telephone with old friends, new friends and our extended family.

Once she was sick she pretty much only wanted to be around the immediate family, my sister and her husband their daughter, my wife and I and our daughter. During that last month we were never able to all be there at the same time, we were finally able to all assemble together one day and she seemed more lucid than she had in a couple weeks. She was talking smiling and enjoying the visit especially of the young ones.

We started making plans to split off into 2 groups at lunch one group staying with mom while the other group went to lunch, she heard our plans and said rather firmly "no, you guys all go together, you can enjoy your lunch and then come back, please go, I need a little rest too," we all kissed her bye and went off to eat. Right as we finished up my cell phone rang, it was the nurse, you better get back here" she said.

I immediately knew why, mom had passed away but she did not want to die in front of us, that was on March 28 2001, the day before my birthday, I guess she did not want to die tomorrow either. She wanted to hang on until she could see us all together again one last time.

Jennie, I can certainly empathize with you Sister, but do not feel any guilt for what is past feel the joy of His promise for the future.

His Peace and Love to you,

Joe

Hello Joe

My Mother also went to sleep after liver cancer ravaged her body and morphine had to be given to her due to the pain. She stayed with us and tied up all loose ends in the six months doctors estimated that she would remain alive. I saw her often during that time and stayed with her helping her out for a long stretch towards the very end. In the last week of her life I was not there with her and that was a mercy. I was falling apart.

I had just met my husband to be and was not in  the country when I recieved news thatmy Mothersr spirit had returned to God. I was devestated through my loss but the sweetness of finding my other half eased the pain! The sweetness of finding the truth has put to rest the trauma of loosing a most wonderful friend and Mother. God is love.

Peace to you

Arcturus,

I know how you feel.  When I lost my mother, I completley lost it for days.  At that time, I was still in the pigpen of life wasting my Father's inheritance, and it wasn't until He dragged me back to Himself and then brought me here with all of you, that I was finally comforted with the knowlege of her eventual salvation.  My earthly father died a very slow death from Alzheimer's; it was absolutley devastating.  But again, knowing that God will have mercy on him and save him too, is such a comfort that only those who have seen what we have seen can have true hope.  Thank you our dear sweet Jesus for your mercy and grace.

In His sweet love,

Dwight

Thank you.

We share the wounds of Christ through the cross He has made us to bear in our own lives of pain suffering and  loss that He has overcome for us.  He leads us to recieve ultimately what He has in store for us. It has been hard and harsh but He knew and knows all that. He was first and remains so!...He has marked our paths for us and it is precious to see and share our moments most deep that Jesus has shared from His life and suffering that marks us as His sheep......His children....We hope to be faithful and found so for HIS suffering we only know in part!

Peace to you too brother

Arcturus :)
