Members BillG Posted October 1, 2018 Members Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I'm in my mother's room at her nursing home and waiting for her to pass, sometimes I feel strong and know she will be without pain, loneliness, and will be rid of her wheelchair, and has hope she'll see loved ones her parents, my father and my brother who passed away this last Christmas. But I also feel selfish and can't stand the thought of losing her, and it's just tearing me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sharing something I wrote about waiting and trying to keep it together. I lost my mom in 2011 after she had a massive heart attack. You never stop missing them but it does get easier as time goes by because you have those good memories to hold onto. While we wait for this journey to end, we just wanted to tell you how much we love you. While we wait, we wish we could take some of your pain away. While we wait, you will need to forgive us if we try to hard to make things right. While we wait, we want you to know that we would give anything we had if we could make this go away. When this journey is over, we won't shed tears because your pain is over. We will be crying for us because we are going to miss you. When this journey is over, those who have gone before us will be waiting at the gates of heaven to welcome you home. When this journey is over and your spirit is free to fly we will gather together and celebrate your life. Knowing that one day you will be waiting when it is our turn to be welcomed home at the gates of heaven. KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
