Just an Update on My Friend Bruce's Mother...

[Harrybaby666]

Hi Gang,
I just wanted to post to let you know that Bruce's mom is still hanging in there, although the nurses have told Bruce that when his mom starts to not want to eat, that the time is drawing near. She is sleeping alot more now and everyone has finally accepted the fact that this is going to be her time to enter into eternal rest. Bruce is getting so worn out from this, I am worried about his health, so if you all could keep up the prayers for this rough time for him I would be soooo grateful. Thanks for listening and your prayers once again. Harrybaby

You know you can count on mine........

You know you can count on mine........

I hope her passing is peaceful. Sending hugs and prayers for both Bruce and his mom..............while I'm at it, Harry, I will say them for you, too. It's hard watching your friend go through this, knowing there is nothing really you can do..............except be there for him.. YOu are a truly wonderful and loyal friend. Sending hugs. Janet

Will do Harry. It brings back memories of when I was taking care of my mom in her final days. That is hard to watch and even harder to do.

Thanks Harry for the update on Bruce's mom. It sounds as if she will have a peaceful death, and there is much to be said for that. Of course it doesn't stop the pain of those left behind, but it makes it more bearable.

Keep your strength up Harry, so you can continue to be there for Bruce.

Harry,

You and your friend are still in my prayers. The only "nice" thing about a loved one lingering is it becomes a relief when they finally do pass (and you get a little longer to say goodbye). Their passing is still painful for those left behind but you do feel better for it.

I went through my parents deaths both ways. One went instantly without being ill, the other lingered for way too long. I still don't know which is best (if best is the right term).

I will pray that this does not continue much longer. I guess God still has some plan for her here yet.

Take care.

Hard to tell!

Hard to tell!

My step father who was like a real father to me had a very hard time before he finally passed away, and although I was well aware that ALS is a killer, it hit me really hard when he finally passed away. Then, three weeks later, one of my best friends, Vania, who was only twenty years old, was shot dead by her ex husband. Now, that was really a big shock and took me a while to believe what I had just been told over the phone. I reacted differently to both deaths, but until today I feel just as bad about losing two such important people in my life.

thanks for keeping us in mind. My sincere wishes that her passing is peaceful and accepted easily by her family. They will at least have time to let her know how much they care and love her. Prayers for all of you.

That is what happened to my mother, who had RA. She suffered with the disease all her life and she just started to give up. SHe would only eat jello for a awhile. Just hope his mother goes peacefully. My mother did and it was such a peaceful feeling that she was not in pain then. Keep us posted, it is never easy to let a parent go.
