Description

infallible inevitability emotions washing over me the clock counts down slowly, impassively running on a timer no one sees the end draws closer Mom's lost the light in her eyes not knowing when the phone will ring all I can do is cry ___________________________________________ Mom is declining rapidly and the DR has said that anyone who wants to see her should go ASAP. I was up there tonight and spoke at length with a nurse as I was leaving. She could pass within the week at this point, though the DR wouldn't be as blunt with my sister and said under a month.

Cara Mae, I have sat here and read your words. Absorbing them each as they have become absorbed into my mind as my heart and I truly feel your pain. All the comfort I feel I can offer at this time is for you to know I am here as others listening, and if needed to lean upon, and your words are heard as felt. I too have experienced what you are now facing, the passing of your mother. I too like others pray for you and her that this will not be any harder then it has to be.

So sad for you these days. Try to remember all the good times. Lost my father a few years back. Talk to him all the time, still. Your mother does and will live in you. PEACE.

"Mom's lost the light in her eyes" Cara-Mae, the light that is replacing it is one that is so brilliant and peaceful. I know that this is a difficult time for you and it is so hard to understand, because we never want our loves ones to leave us and yet those who have preceded her are with her. That is the comfort and knowing that they are always with you. When I was asked, by Spirit, to do the smudging for her AND for you I knew that she is with the ones who love her, on both sides. The only comfort is that she will not be in pain, she will be whole again. I am crying with you and knowing that she will live on in your heart....listen close you will hear her. The image is perfect, for me it brought to mind breast cancer and the pain of it, thus the red.

Cara this is beautiful we never want them to leave us so many things have gone by but they never replace a parent especially when a family is so close knit, and loosing the last parent is heart breaking its like a closer yet it never leaves you they are always with you, she will no longer be in pain she will be young again and complete most of all she will never leave your side. When we told about my mom she had less then 3 to 6 months so to see her each time knowing it may be the last became even more important to know she will be pain free. God Bless know you are not alone, as we all cry with you, keep holy the good memories always :)

There will be great sadness and great relief when the end comes - I know - I've been there with my mom many years ago, when I was seventeen. Every moment is precious, even the bad ones. CC

You know, the image I used for this was to be a generic place-holder but I just can't use it for anything else...
