Oh Janet, this is such a hard hard hard time. I'm so sorry that you, or anyone for that matter, has to go through this. Right now, there are not many words of comfort except to say that you have been such a wonderful daughter and you have made the last weeks for your mom really good ones. I hope you know what a wonderful person you are. Your mom is very lucky to have you for a daughter.

Janet, I am so sorry. This is hard for you, and nobody can take the pain from you that she will be gone soon. You have done so much for her, and now God will take care. She is not suffering, and that is because you made sure of that.

Prayers for you, Janet and Mom.

Oh Janet. What a hard thing to hear. I'm so sorry that it's come to this. You and your Mom and the rest of the family are in my prayers. Hugs!!

Hugs to you Janet.
You are doing what is best for your Mom. I know its not easy. I don't even know what to say. Just know that your friends care, that we are all with you and praying.
Judy wrote a beautiful note. God has her in his hands.
Hugs and Prayers are with you.

Janet...so very sorry for you and your family and also poor Mum too.

Janet when i went through it with my aunt, i had a little talk to myself, about how much her quality of life was not as it should be, my aunt was always a very fun, independant, and proud woman, and it really upset her over the last few years that her body was letting her down so much. She always used to say to me "in my head i can do what i want.....but my body is telling me different"
I know she would not have wanted to be here after her illness, which would have made her even more dependant, even though it was hard to see her go, i knew in my heart of hearts it was for the best for her.

You are a strong person Janet, and you will get through it too, as i have had to, it is very hard, i have to care for my Uncle who misses her so much and is just a little lost soul without her by his side. I try to always talk about her with him and we laugh now about what we know she would say in certain situations - but it is still hard.

I am thinking of you all....god bless

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.

[Janet]

Thank you all so much for your kind words, they mean more to me than you'll ever know.

Highlans, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. I hope you can feel my arms around you for a huge hug.

I spent 6 hours at the NH with Mom. I arrived shortly after noon and ate my lunch there. Shortly after I arrived they came in to take her down for her bath. I thought they had been gone an unusually long time and just as I was getting ready to go check on them...they brought her back. When they tried to get her from the chair to the shower, she passed out and they couldn't hold her up. They gently let her go to the floor and the nurse was called. All her vital signs were all out of whack so they called the Dr. because the nurse thought she may need to go back to the hospital.

The dr. said to just keep an eye on her and her vitals slowly came back to normal. On her way down to the floor after passing out, she rec'd a huge skin tear on the back of her left arm where they were trying to hold on to her. I helped the nurse get it cleaned and bandaged. Mom slept most of the time that I was there. When I told her I was going to head home she wanted to know why and I told her because I had been there for six hours and she was shocked....lol. I told her I mostly just watched her sleep. Mom just smiled. :
