I don't normally send internet hugs, but this warrants an exception.

:hugs:

Do what you need to. We'll be here when you get back.

So sorry to hear of your mother's passing.

My dad passed away a bit over 7 years ago; it feels as if it only happened yesterday. I drove his old pickup until it just couldn't run anymore, just because it
was a tangible reminder of him. Over the years, loss has turned to remembrance, and while I still feel his presence constantly, that presence is now more
comfort than grief.

I hope that you and yours will also reach that point where remembering the joy your mother brought you will ease the grief over her loss. If there's anything we can do to help, let us know.

*hug*

You guys are helping more than you know.

Mom began having what we thought was a bad case of flu about the middle of January, but it just wasn't getting any better and she was losing tons of weight. Her regular doctor wasn't doing much to tell you the truth and we finally persuaded her to go to the emergency room when she nearly collapsed. After a lot of tests the only thing they could come up with was "gastritis"; it was sounding like she was getting better, and they had transferred her to the rehab section of the hospital. She was doing rehab twice a day for three hours at a time, and we all figured things were going fine. Then Friday morning she was literally fine one moment and gone the next.

My brother is out there with Dad now; he's done this dance three times before, with his wife's mother, father, and an aunt that was close. So he has things wired tight and when I talked to them this morning they are doing better than I am to tell the truth. I'll be going out probably Monday or Tuesday; it's Easter weekend so of course nothing can be done right now.

My father died about 8 years ago. I had to be the one to make the hard decisions. The U of M hospital was going to operate but my dad was so weak they decided not to. My brothers and uncle tried to argue with the chief of surgery to operate. I finally stepped in and said there is something worse than dying on the table, surviving but being too weak to ever go home again.

They all stopped and actually heard what I was saying.

The doctor offered to tell my dad but I said, "Doc thanks, but you don't love him and we do." I told my dad he was going home now and he instantly knew why. "So that's it, then?" He said. "Yes, one of the best hospitals in the world can't operate." I replied. I can never forget those few minutes ever.

My dad looked at the nurse and said, "You have 10 minutes to get these tubes out of me and then my sons are taking me home to die. I will give you 10 minutes of the time I have left after that I am taking them out myself."

I understand your pain, but as TonyV said - talk about her tell the stories that made you laugh, cry and love her. It is what makes us human to share loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Ms. Lackey. Take the time you need. I agree with TonyV, talk about the funny stuff, the good stories, the weird stuff she told you over the years. Laugh as well as cry. Laughter makes the pain go faster.

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to their passing. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. Hold tight to memories, lean on your friends for strength, and always remember how much you are cared about.

So sorry VV. {{{hugs}}} to you and your family. Yes, remember the great times. The funny stories. She is always with you in spirit. She gave us a great author and I'm guessing the fire to make you a MAJOR fighter for our cause. God Bless.
