I went to the nursing home this evening to see my MIL. She hasn't been awake at all today. She is just slowly declining and filling up with fluids. It's really hard to tell how long she'll be with us, only God know that, but it really doesn't look like it will be very long.

She looked so helpless lying there. She had no idea we were there. This is so sad....and heartbreaking. She is not in any pain...

Thanks Diana, I appreciate it! It's not that we want to let her go, but why does it have to be like this and just let us watch her go slowly? I guess it's not ours to question...I'm sure there is a lesson here somewhere.

Janet, I know it's got to be hard to watch her like she is, yet if she was afraid and struggling, it's easier for her to not know what's going on now.
I'll keep you both in my prayers.

God bless you and your family, Janet. It's so sad to see someone you love in such bad shape. It sounds like she's been a wonderful influence in your life and someone you've been truly close to. I pray that God will give her peace of mind.

Has a pastor visited her? If not, even though she may not be conscious, I think it would be good for her. I believe that people are aware even if they can't respond.
