The funeral director brought mom's ashes to us yesterday afternoon. We placed them on a shelf in the livingroom. Dad was happy that she was back in the house. He said they can now watch TV together again.
On July 8, 2012 at 11:15 PM, Mom passed away after not eating or drinking for 11 days.
It is hard to believe what we lived through these last 10 months and how quickly this disease can take over. Bless you Mom, we all loved you dearly and will miss you greatly. By the end of June, Mom hardly ate or drank. Then came the time we were told to stop feeding her and giving her liquids because of fear of choking.
Today marks mom's 10 day of not eating or drinking. We have been at her bedside administering whatever she needs. All she has been getting is morphine and ativan. At this time, here breathing is very labored and we are all praying that she finds peace. I'd like to thank everyone for the thoughts and prayers they have given and being there for Mom and us. Bless all of you! |
