So sorry to hear , raven. No matter how hard it is right now, you will always be grateful that you were able to be with her in her last moments. Find peace in knowing the love of family was given your Mom in her last days.

So sorry, Raven. There is no love like the love of a Mother, and I know you will miss her. Hospice is wonderful, we used them for my Dad. I will pray for your dear Mom.

You have my complete sympathy, Raven. I am also "prepared" in my mind for when my mother dies, but I'm sure my heart will break when it actually happens. All my best thoughts are headed your way. Hopefully your sweet mother will pass easily. Hugs to you.

Raven, my sincere sympathies as you deal with this. I've been there, and I assure you that precious memories will remain.

Joining the others in sending caring thoughts to your mother and to you

Hugs & prayers to you & your family.

Prayers for your mother, you and your family, Raven.

Oh Raven I am so sorry. Hospice is wonderful and they will do everything possible to ensure your mom's journey is comfortable and peaceful.

Please use them to help with your emotions as well. They are exceptional people and are helpful to both the patient and the family. They helped with both of my parents and honestly made things so much easier.

(((((raven and all your family)))))

My prayers are on their way to you. Hospice was very good with my father-in-law.

Loving thoughts are with you and your family. Thank God for hospice.

My sister passed in hospice, as did my own mother. The people at hospice are the heroes of health care that we don't thank often enough. Hold on to the good memories of your Mom, let yourself grieve- in whatever way you need to, as hard and as long as it takes. My thought are with you. Rebecca

A prayer has been said for a peaceful and painfree passing for your mom and for God's strength and comfort for you Raven.

Raven I'm so sorry, prayers going out for you and your family.

Hugs and prayers, Raven!

Today she is very peaceful, not showing any pain, she opens her eyes when talked to but we don't think she is very aware of her surroundings.
We are working on his time table now.
She is peaceful, and I thank Hospice for that.
We feel your thoughts, prayers and hugggs!
Thank you so much.

You have my prayers for peace during this time.

You have my sympathy and prayers. I have been where you are now, and I know what you are going through. I pray your Mother passes peacefully. ((( Hugs)))

Sorry to hear about your mother, Raven. I pray she is not in pain and goes peacefully when the time comes. Hospice will surely make her as comfortable as possible. Wishing you and family the best at this difficult time.

I'm so sorry, Ravencajun. Prayers for you and your family.

Raven, I'm so sorry. I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts.

My prayers are with you and your family. This is a hard journey.

Sending a (virtual) gentle hug your way. My parents didn't have hospice care, but from what I've learned about it, you have given her a gift.

Thinking of you, Raven.

Still in the holding pattern, in limbo. Family has been gathering this weekend to visit with her while they can. She has one living sister, she has had several strokes so she is not in good health either. Not that mom knows who they are. But she has been awake, and has smiled, and has eaten a little bit and drank a bit of the special shakes they make for her. She doesn't really chew so mostly soft and liquid but she is choking very easily. She is seemingly no longer in pain so I think hospice has found the right dose of medication. They have discontinued all the other meds except blood pressure.

It's extremely stressful, I find myself just in a lost daze at times. It's the not knowing that is so hard. The back and forth.

Thanks for thinking of us, we appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

((((Raven))))

The stress must be unbelievable. I'm so happy that your mother is not in any pain and seems content enough. I will keep you in my thoughts, Raven.

Raven, my thoughts and prayers are for your family.

Raven, you and your Mother are in my thoughts and prayers. She is already in God's hands, she just hasn't left this world, yet.

I pray that you will find and take comfort in your faith.

Best thoughts for your Mother's peaceful passing and for you and your family.
It is very good to hear that her pain seems under control.
Peace be with you.

the quiet sleep is so comforting....mother slipped away, just with me in attendance.... hospice was so comforting....

I know how difficult this is, Raven. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Raven, you and your Mom are still in my thoughts. One of the hardest rites of passage is when a daughter has to say her last goodbye to her Mother.

(((((RavenCajun)))))) Your mother, you, and your family are in my prayers.

I'm so sorry for the pain that you are in. The constant vigil is exhausting. Make sure you take some time for yourself to get some rest when you can. Hospice is wonderful and I'm glad they've been able to make her so comfortable. (((hugs)))

My mother suffered a severe stroke in 2007 and once it was determined she wasn't going to recover we brought her back to her house and did in-home hospice. She died in my arms the day after I got out there. She cradled me in birth, I cradled her in death. It was difficult of course but also such a gift that i was able, as her only daughter, to be there to comfort her. I don't know if she knew it was me, but I hope so. It's something I will never forget.

Raven.....I'm sorry you are going through this. Just hold her hand and talk to her. It really is a special time you will cherish, although it may not seem like it now. I hope your mother passes peacefully surrounded by her loving family.

So very sorry for you loss Raven.

Thanks again.

Today she was asleep pretty much all day. She is barely eating or drinking and not any out put either. I am very surprised she has not had organ failure. She seems very peaceful now so that is all we can hope for till it is her time.

sending good thoughts to you and your mom!

Moni

I am so glad that she is peaceful. {{{{ hugs }}}}

I wish her a peaceful passing. What a wonderful gift you are giving her, to be surrounded by loved ones. You're in my thoughts.

Raven, I pray for peaceful passing for your mother, and comfort and strength for you and your family.

Raven my heart goes out to you. I pray for a peaceful passing for your mother.
