It's Been A Rough Day!

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.

So Sorry to hear this janet. it is upsetting that she isn't ready to go. I will be praying for her to have peace. I'll also be praying for you and your family. God Bless.

As of this morning....she still hasn't eaten since yesterday. We all have been giving her a little water, by putting our thumbs over the top of the straw and by swobbing out her mouth to keep it moist.

She did open her eyes enough to know her son David was there (he came yesterday from Atlanta, GA) and that's about it. She's too week to lift her eye lids let alone any other part of her body. They upped her morphine, because she was starting to moan because of pain.

Hopefully we'll all be with her when the time comes....God willing.

Somehow I missed this thread until now ?? Sorry for my delay in posting. Janet, I am so sorry you are going through this difficult time. Recently going through what sounds like the same exact thing, I truly feel for you.

From what I can tell about you, I can see that you have laid this all in God's hands. I hope you find comfort in knowing many thoughts are sent your way.

Thanks Sheryl

It is tough, but I know it is not in our hands, so I have faith that God will take away her fears and pain. She'll be in a much better place than what she is in now in this condition. Even though we know her death is inevitable and we're trying to prepare ourselves, it still hurts. None of us like to see our loved ones in this condition. We will be there for her till the end....she doesn't know this...... but I'm sure God will tell her everything when she arrives in heaven.

I just re read your post....I'm sorry you've recently gone through the same thing. Are you doing okay now?
