Thank you to all whose thoughts and prayers have been with my family. Mom rejoined her parents earlier tonight and is finally free of pain.

I'm here if you need me.

*hugs back* Thank you.

As bad as it might sound . . . I'm glad to hear it. Now /everyone/ can finally move on. And like you said, she's not in pain anymore. Still, SO sorry for the loss!

*HUGGLES TIGHTLY*

*huggles back!*

I know what you mean. There have been several times where I've thought, "Why can't this be over already?".

*Hugs*

My condolences.

Thank you. *hugs back*

My condolences and best wishes.

Thank you

It's such a mix of relief--who wants to see their loved ones in pain--and despair. *hug*

*hugs back* She's been in pain for about a year, but it was really the last month and a half that it was completely out of hand. No one should be in the kind of pain she was in, and that's what we've been focusing on--getting rid of her pain. This is just the most complete way.

I am so sorry.

Thank you *hugs*

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry hon; if you need someone to talk to, let me know.

I will, thank you. *hugs*

aw hell. *hugs* I'm so sorry, flyby. I'm keeping you in my thoughts.

I want you to do something for me, hon. Going to sound a little crazy, but I'm speaking from experience here: start taking some zinc, vitamin c, and echinacea. Or any other supplements that will help boost your immune system to help reduce the cold/flu you'll probably get within the next few weeks. All the stress you've been under and will be under, is going to take what's left of your immune system and run it over like a freight train. You need to take care of you. Don't forget that.

Also, I'm really glad to see how you phrased your post. It's okay to feel relieved. It really, really is. Please don't forget that. Feeling relieved that she's not hurting anymore doesn't mean that you didn't love her. BUT, also feeling relieved that your life doesn't have to revolve around the same things anymore doesn't mean that you didn't love her, either. Feeling those things doesn't mean that you're selfish; it means that you're human, and it's okay to feel those things.

I hope that you don't need any of what I'm telling you. I just remember that when I was 17 and going through this, that I learned to hate myself for many many years. I wish someone had told me these things then, instead of having to spend a couple decades figuring them out for myself.

If you need anything, Flyby, don't hesitate to ask, okay? We're all here for you when you need us.

*hugs back* Thank you.

I'll pick something up at the store. Probably orange juice--that's always been my favorite way to fight off/prevent illness. I'm more worried about my dad. I've been making sure to take care of myself during this, but he hasn't really been doing the same. He hasn't been getting enough sleep or eating enough. I'll pass on your advice, though.

I remember from when we went to Florida for the service for my paternal grandmother (who died of alzheimer's, three months after my grandfather died). My parents were talking about how my aunt felt guilty about feeling relieved that Grandma had finally passed, and they mentioned that she shouldn't. That always stayed with me, and they hadn't talked to professionals about it at that time.

*hugs* I will. Thank you so much for everything you've said during this. I helps to know someone who's gone through something similar.

*hugs* I'm so sorry for your loss, though I'm relieved she is no longer in pain. If there is any way I can help, even just being an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on, don't hesitate to ask.

*hugs back* Thank you. I will.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's never easy. ♥

Thank you. It never is.

*hugs*

*hugs back*

I am so sorry.

Thank you
