My deepest condolenses to you and your family. I know how hard it is to lose a love one and then have to handle all the arrangements. Sending you lots of positive energy so you can be strong for those who need you.

Diane, I'm so sorry to hear that you have lost someone so near and dear to you. You have my sympathy.
You were so fortunate that you were able to be with her at the end.......and yes, I believe that she knew that you were there. (My Grandmother, before she died, was in a coma but whenever family would enter the room her blood pressure would go up.) I would guess that the tear was her love for you and your uncle. As for preparing for the funeral.......the funeral home will help you and your uncle with your decisions. That's what they're there for. Wish that I was there to help or bring food.......Hugs Diane!!!! |

Ahhhhh..... Thank you all so very much for your kind words, they really do help, and being able to come here and tell you all helps too.
Well i have had another busy day today...but at least things are coming together. Diana you were right the funeral director's are going to do most of the organising, which is a big relief. The funeral is going to be next Friday (15th), the only thing i am unhappy with is the funeral directors are so busy at the moment, they cant bring my Aunty into their chapel of rest until the day before the funeral - so we will only have 1 day to visit. We can go whilst she is still at the hospital, but i dont want to see her there in a mortuary - as they dont have any chapel facilities at all. My uncle seems to be bearing up really well, but i think when he is alone he will be suffering, he is not sleeping too well - I know all of this is to be expected. So once again a big thank you to all of you for your kind words.

I'm so sorry about your loss Diane! I was with both of my parents and my mil when they died. It felt like such a privilege to me to hold their hand as they took their last breath. I know it's hard, but I'm so glad you were with her. It's a powerful thing.
You are probably moving in a fog. It sounds like it was so sudden, and a shock to everybody. I hope the week passes smoothly for you until her services. God bless you all.

Oh Diane I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It is so hard, but Betsi is right, it is such a privilege to be able to be with loved ones at the end of life.
