I'm sitting here at the AL Home waiting on mom to pass away.. They say her lungs are filling with fluid and she might not make it through the night. I've screamed at God to take her away today, I've cried on my mama to wake up if only for a minute. They have her sedated with lorazapam and form of morphine. Her body was fine, her brain is shutting down from Alzheimer's. Never felt such pain and sadness. Ever...

Thank you for all your prayers. She passed away lastnight at 9:58. She opened her eyes and I climbed over her in bed and turned her fact to me. I told her we were all okay and to go home to go see God's face and be in heaven....she took her last breath at that moment.

Diana, I know it has been an incredibly difficult path for you and your mom. She has crossed that bridge to glorious freedom and you are here to cope. Please be gentle with yourself now. There is no "right" way to grieve, no "right" emotion. Just take one step at a time, one task at a time. Please let us know how you are doing when you comfortable coming back to us.

Diana, I am so so sorry. But I am very glad you got an opportunity (or seized the opportunity) to talk to your mom before she passed away. You will not regret it. How wonderful that you were there and were able to release her so peacefully. My heart goes out to you.
