My Mom is winding down
« on: May 03, 2019, 08:01:08 AM »
My 94 year old Mom is going home to be with the Lord.  Hospice was called in yesterday.  She has struggled with dementia for just over 2 years, but is wasn't terrible up until the last several months.   Really got bad this past month and her body is wearing out.  Otherwise, she has been blessed with good health.  She has had a good life overall.

I ask for prayers that she will pass peacefully and not suffer.  Thanks

So sorry to hear that Phil. I was fortunate enough to be able to do the hospice care for my mom for 9 months but only 2 weeks for my father. It was a big help having my sister there who is a nurse and in fact she ran the hospice program. I would not trade that experience for anything and it greatly eased my parents transitions by being there for them.
You have our prayers Phil.

Thanks guys.  My mom will have family around her 24/7 until she goes which will likely be within a few days

You've got it Phil.

I am so very sorry to hear this but at least she has loving people to be with her.
