Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 , I used to work for a wedding and party shop that did fresh flowers, too. I know how much it takes to put a wedding together, coordinate everything, and hold things together. I've seen many very healthy mothers of brides collapse just before their daughters walked down the aisle. Don't feel that you have failed in any sense of the word to fulfill your daughter's dream. Think about it, honey, you will BE there, and that is more important than who does what for the wedding. Having Mom be present, alive and happy is what your daughter really needs and wants. You can give her that gift by not lamenting what is lost, but by celebrating what you have together. Blessings upon your family at this festive time.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 You are always in our Prayers. Hospice is wonderful and they do care. even when we know the time has come and is near, it still is hard. my sister and I went through this with our Momma when she had Alzheimer's for 2 years plus. It's not easy to stand by and slowly watch them go down a bit each day and then the time comes when Hospice says the end is near. the body simply starts shutting down and it is the best way to let them go. knowing he is going to heaven though is why it will be easier on your mind. my sister and I both spent the whole day with our Momma on her last day on this earth. she never knew we were there, but we knew she would have done the same for us. those Hospice folks are a grate group of folks and they have been through this kind of thing many times over. I just don't think they could work for such a organization if they didn't care. you have done the best you can and knows it and so does God. always know we are all here any time you need to vent or talk it out. Prayer is always the best answer for what ever it is that bothers us. God loves you and feels your pane. you are never alone when you trust Jesus!

But that night he continued to get nausea and some came up on him. I had to clean under his right shoulder and then I put a pillow case to protect him and his bottom sheet. I called Hospice and they sent and she gave him a strong medication for nausea in a suppository. She said to give him that every 12 hours. I said I could do that myself. But Dr. told me on Tuesday morning that if he no longer had nausea to hold off on that. Then on Tuesday morning Washauna came. The night before, told me that she did not think he had much time left. She said she could tel by the way his heart sounded and the way he looked. Washauna listened to his heart and lungs and even his bowels. He said his bowels were silent. She gave him liqued morphine in his mouth. She said for us to give him half of an eye dropper every four hours. But even before the morphine he was not responsive to her talking to him, calling him, and also tapping his chest. She called it pain but I think she means it was suppose to stimulate him abruptly. He showed no notice. We brought Olga, his mother, to see him in the late afternoon. I took her into the kitchen and told her there is not much time left and he is going home to The Lord. Elvis has been giving him the morphine through the night. I hope Dr. can come. A chaplain named Jerry is coming to talk and pray with me at ten this morning. I also met the social worker, Danette, yesterday.It is rough but I am so thankful for everyone's prayers and support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
