Life update

16 years ago

Just after lunch yesterday the hospital called to tell DH to come in. My dear mother-in-law finished her battle today and is now at peace. These past 2 weeks have been a real struggle for her. It has been hard to see her so uncomfortable and distressed. But now she is at peace. She was lying still and peaceful when we got there. No grimace of discomfort on her face, no struggle to breath, no look of unhappiness.

We have had her with us for so many years now, there will be a big hole in our lives. But it is good she is at rest and with her husband, parents, and brothers who have already gone.

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes, they are all greatly appreciated. I will be gone a few more days and then we will try to get our lives to a new normal.

((hugs))

Sometimes life's best and most treasured blessings are measured in the peacefulness following a struggle. May you be comforted in knowing she now has that peace. Prayers to you and your family.

Bev,

So sorry for your DMIL's passing. My heart goes out to you and Tim. Maybe, knowing that you all had a wonderful care-giving time together will ease the pain you feel right now.

Hugs,

Beverly, I send my deepest sympathy to you and your DH. I can relate as I lost my loving step-mother last Thanksgiving time after seeing her condition deteriorate. The loss is to we who live on as sometimes it is a blessing for those who are released from suffering. God Bless. Fondly Jayne
