I am so sorry Sandy!! You will be in my prayers.

My deepest condolences to you and your family, I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. Take Care {HUGS}

THANK YOU ALL for your prayers and thoughts. I'm actually doing OK, just tired. One of the worst things for me is that I've had to sign both my parents off life support and I can't seem to lose that guilt. I keep telling myself that medicine had done all it could and that I had to sign the papers so that medicine could turn it over to God.

My sister turned out to be a "butt head", so I had to do some walking away from a few things. I never would have thought that she'd do some of the things she's doing. But, we gave her remains a very nice send off.

My son had just left on Saturday, so I had to tell him while he was in transit back to Iraq. He wanted to come back, but I told him not to. He sent an e-mail that a couple of my Mom's g-kids got up and read. The funeral was at the church I grew up in, where 5 generations of my family are members.

Sandy sounds like you did the very best you could have possibly done. You mother would be proud of you and how you handled everything I'm sure. Siblings can be a real surprise in situations like this. It's so sad that we can't just all get along. Take care of yourself and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I know this is a terrible time, but I'm glad to read you are holding up well. Siblings can be real buttheads for sure at the most inopportune time. I think sometimes its the stress that makes us all do things we later regret. I'm keeping you in my prayers Sandy.

Oh Sandy, I'm just now reading about your Mother. I'm so very sorry :hug: The right words always seem to fly out the window in these situations but know that I care and you're in my thoughts and prayers. You're a good daughter and you did all that you knew to do for your parents. We're not God and we can't see the future on what will or won't work. You did your best and take comfort in that! Don't let anyone tell you or make you feel otherwise. :hug:

I always love the way you word things - so thoughtful and caring - THANK YOU

What a wonderful daughter you are. I am sorry to hear of the recent loss of your mother ((((((((((((Sandy)))))))))))) Wishing you wisdom, strength and plenty of rest during this difficult time. Don't forget to take care of yourself in all of this...

My Mom's critical
 

I am so sorry that you lost your Mom.
Sometimes, family members don't agree with everything. When through that when my Mom passed.
Will be praying for you to be strong.

Sandy, losing a parent is so hard; it often brings out the worst in people in ways we'd never imagine. I hope your sister rethinks her actions and decides to act better.

In my opinion, signing someone off of life support is one of the hardest, yet kindest things we can do when there's only suffering left. It's easier to hang on for our sake than to release someone for their own sake... it is truly a last act of love. What your Mom had is a horrible thing to battle. Many lose that fight and I believe you did the kindest and most loving thing you could have done in that situation.

I sincerely hope that my family would be that considerate if I ever end up in that position.

HUGS
