Hi Everyone, My former mother-in-law has been very sick for some time

now. In and out of the hospital for one reason or the other. Last

Thursday morning, she suffered a massive stroke while in the

hospital. By the time she suffered the stroke, she was already so

weak, the doctor's prognosis was a bleak one. The family elected to

take home. Although, I feel they made the right decision, the

decision has become one of tortureous consequences for the family.

My children are suffering so much because they are litally watching

their grandmother die. She is deteriating slowly. The family

doesn't believe she is aware of anything. Oh how I pray she isn't.

I was very close to my first mother-in-law and continued to be even

after I divorced her son. She was an amazing woman. I don't

remember ever hearing her raise her voice to anyone. She was a very

soft spoken and kind person.

Sunday, I was washing the dishes and all of sudden her face appeared

to me and she was smiling at me. Then her image just faded away.

This was a very profound and comforting experience for me. I called

my son but he said she was still alive. I feel she is gone already.

I have never had an experience like this before.

I'm sharing this with all of you because I need someone guidance (?)

or your thoughts on this situation. My son says he feels the same

way but my daughter seems angry. I know she is hurting badly.

Can anyone give some insight on this? It is torture knowing her body

is just starving and dehydrating to death. This is horrible for

everyone. I don't know what else to say. Vicki

Hello Vicki,

My heart hurts for you and your family. I have to say that I agree with

what Liane wrote to you already. I think your ex mother in law might

already be out of body. I believe that every person leaves their bodies

at least twice a week while we're sleeping to visit home (the other

side) to recover from the daily stresses of living. It's even more so

if the person's body is shutting down on them, like coma patients. Or

people like your mother in law. They can choose to leave before their

body is completely gone. To the living it's confusing, and sorrowful to

watch the suffering of someone they love so much. But she came to you

and showed you her beautiful smile to let you know that she really isn't

suffering anymore. She's okay, and she loves you.

First it is confusing, then it will be bitter-sweet, finally you will

just be happy that she chose to give you a message and put your mind to

rest about her. She doesn't want any of you to be so hurt over her

death. Death is a beautiful transition, she lived to her best (sounds

like she was an incredible person that left quite a mark), and now she's

going home. She can now be there for you and your family like she was

never able to before.

Still the grief of you losing her is going to happen. So try this,

every time you find yourself thinking of her. Whether your upset and

crying, or just have a passing thought. Try to remind yourself to smile.

Smile for her and the gift she was to you. When her body fails, smile.

Know that she is still with you.

Smile for her because she smiled for you.

Much love and brilliant light to you Vicki,

Stefanie
