My Mom has been slipping away for the last few years due to Alzheimers, the last year she has been bed ridden in a nursing home. She started forgetting who I was in early 2012 and by the end of 2012 delusions had become her life and they didn't include any family members. She was admitted to the hospital under Hospice care last night, tests showed pneumonia in both lungs, fluid building up around her heart and her kidneys were shutting down. The doctor felt she had maybe 24 hours, she made it through the night. They are treating the pneumonia and keeping her comfortable. She is 87 yrs old and wants to go be with my Dad who passed in 1995 after 50 years of marriage. Prayers and good thoughts for an easy passing would be greatly appreciated.
Toni, not only will I pray for your mom's easy passing, I'll also pray for you. You are in our thoughts at this difficult time.
I sincerely hope that your mum passes away peacefully in her sleep Toni as that way she won't be in any pain. My thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time.
Be strong Toni it won't be that long for us to be in that boat. Prayers and thoughts be with you and yours.
Praying for your mom that she passes on easy and her wish is fulfilled to be with your dad. Holding you up also, that you will receive strength and peace through this difficult time.
Prayers are going for you now,Toni! It's sad to hear about parents leaving us. She's had a good long life and probably enjoyed most of it. Think of the good things now! dooley
My prayers go out to your mom, you and your family during this very hard time. I pray all goes smoothly and painlessly.
I pray that your hearts are comforted and your family draws close to one another during this difficult time Toni. Bless your Mother and you.
Thanks everyone. Her passing was easy...she took her last breath a little after 11 a.m. So we figure that she has been fussing at my Dad for leaving her alone for the past 18 years and at God for making her wait so long. The funeral home in Ranger, Texas is making arrangements to take her there from the hospital. We have to go out there tomorrow to fill out the paperwork and whatever else is involved. We are hoping to have the service on Friday, it will be a much warmer day for the grave side service she wanted, her friends out there and two of my aunts are elderly and I don't want them standing around in the cold.
Toni, please accept my condolences, and also, remember the happy times with your mother. How typical of you to consider the comfort of some of the elderly mourners.
