I'll be back here soon, really hectic right now...

[azasadny]

I haven't been on the board much lately as my mother-in-law is dying and we're spending a lot of time at the hospital. As soon as things settle down, I'll be back but right now there's just too much going on. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, everyone who has contacted me... that really means a lot to me!!

Sorry to hear that Art, but you take your time we'll still be here, but at present it's more important that you spend time with family. Here's hoping she doesn't suffer too much in her last days.

So sorry to hear that Art. Tell your wife I know exactly what she's going through as I just lost my Mom 6 months ago. If she needs anyone to talk to about it, I am available. It's taken me this 6 months just get back to the land of the living. It's a hard thing to deal with, loosing a parent, especially if one was close to them. I didn't think it would hit me as hard as it did...and here I thought I was the strong one....but it effects everyone differently. So chin up and buckle up because this could be a very bumpy ride for you....just ask my wife....I truly don't know how she did it.

My prayers are with you and your wife, may GOD bless your families.

I lost my Mother a while back.
It was hard.
I like to think She is in a better place.
She suffered a lot before passing on.
I wish you & yours the best.

Thanks for the kind words, thoughts and prayers! We are spending as much time with her as possible and she's never alone at the hospital. She will be discharged to hospice (at her home) in the next few days and we'll be busy, helping take care of her. She is the matriarch of the family, so the rest of her family is struggling right now... Thanks again!

My thoughts are with you and your family, Art.

I wish you all the best!

Art,

You and your family have my deepest condolences. Please take your time and spend as much time with her as possible.

 

[azasadny]

Thanks everyone! I'm at the hospital, in my MIL's room. She's completely unresponsive but we are taking turns, being with her and talking to her (sense of hearing is the last sense to leave us). It won't be long, now and the family is making plans, which is a normal part of the grieving process. This is hard on my wife and she is very close to her family...

 

[HippsieGypsie]

I know you know that death cannot defeat us. The battle already won. Be strong.

I bet you are the best son-in-law a woman could ever wish for!

 

[azasadny]

My mother-in-law just passed this AM after a lengthy illness (COPD) and she is no longer suffering. We have spent the past few weeks with her and my father-in-law. To say she was a wonderful woman is an understatement of the highest order. Those of you who know us know that we have had our share of sadness the past year, but our faith is strong and we will carry on.


Our daughter and exchange student both made the School Superintendent's List and have their award banquet this PM, so we have a lot to be thankful for. We are sad because we'll miss Patricia but we know she's no longer suffering and she's in a better place... I will do what I can for my wonderful wife and her family as they are wonderful people and I'm blessed to be a part of their family...

Art, you and your family have my deepest condolences.
