that I would love for you to send some of that my MILs way. She just called and the hospice nurse told her to get the family to NC because Grandma is not going to make it through the weekend. I'm not asking for extension of life. She is dying of cancer and more than anything wants to go home and see her husband again. What I am asking for is strength for my MIL. After losing her husband and father a few months ago, this is almost too much for her to bear. We are leaving either tonight or in the morning to go down and offer any help we can and be there for Margaret as she leaves this world.
Thank you.

Sending up prayers for your family, Ami, especially your MIL. You mentioned Grandma Margaret's name, but what is your MIL's name - I like using names when I pray if possibel (although I know for Certain God knows who I'm talking about anyway).

Praying for peace and comfort.

You're absolutely right! I prefer to pray with a name myself. My MIL is Dianne. Thank you so much!

The prayers are on the way. I have spent a lot of time with people in life's final stages, I know what it is like to wish for a peaceful transition for the patient but at the same time worry about how to comfort the survivors. I only wish there was an easy way to take care of both.

Thinking and praying for your MIL. You take care, too. Let us know when you get back. :hug:

Awwww, Ami. This year has really taxed your family. Death is so bitter-sweet. You don't want to lose your loved one, but neither do you want them to endure the suffering. I will keep your entire family in prayer, and especially Dianne. Be safe, dear one.

I'll be in prayer as well for your family...as well as a prayer of Thankgiving for you Ami...for being a kink daughter and grand daughter in law. No every one has that! What a great example for your children.

Ami I'm sorry for yet another loss for your family. I hear God never gives you more than you can handle and I believe it as I had the same thing happen in 99. Stay strong and pray HARD! It will get better for your MIL!!!! Bless her!:grouphug:

I'm home from NC. I wanted to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I could really see them working in my MIL this weekend! She had her moments where I wasn't sure she was going to make it, but they were few and far between. For the most part, she was a pillar of strength, a gracious hostess to all who came by to offer condolences, and a remarkable daughter who managed to carry out all her mother's wishes.

Unfortunately, we made it to MILs about an hour too late. We got there at the same time as the funeral home. She was surrounded by lots of family when she passed, and I hear it was peaceful....maybe even joyous because she got a big smile on her face just before she took her last breath.

Please continue to pray for Dianne. She has lots of support, but I know the next few days will be especially difficult, now that she is all alone. She told me yesterday that she has worked her a** off for the last few years just so everybody could die. I think she feels a little lost now. Despite this, and as bad as it sounds, I'm sure that there will be a sense of relief now too. She can leave the house without needing somebody else to stay. She can do what she wants, when she wants. I'm very grateful for that and looking forward to her having that freeing feeling.

Thank you all again. I am so appreciative of all of you!
