Waiting To Pass Away

[rivermom]

The phone rang last night, it was my hubby's sister. She said "Mom only has hours maybe a day or two to live" to my hubby. His Mom hasn't been doing that well for months now and we knew this. But honestly, there truly is no way to prepare I don't think for losing your Mom.

I cried for my hubby, I couldn't help but cry as I look at his face and see his own tears well up. He's the baby and he's losing his Mama.

It's just like that country song that sings about being the baby in the family, and the son has to hurry up and drive to go kiss his Mama before she passes away.

My hubby just left to Kansas about an hour ago. He's left to go kiss his Mama goodbye. Oh my heart just aches so much for him right now.

She's not eating or drinking, only thing going into her body now is Morphine. The doctors say she has hours possibly a day or so left. It's just a matter of waiting now for both of us to return to Kansas for her funeral.

Death is so natural, we all know it's coming...but it's never easy to see the hurt in those you love so very much. My husband is such a strong individual but all I could do was hold him last night when he cried for his Mama.
