I’m sorry to hear of your experience. My mother went to a Christian hospice where we stayed with her after she experienced a massive stroke. My mother was prepared to meet God and looked forward to eternity. We were with her every minute of the day and someone from the family stayed with her each night; friends and family came to be with her, although she was not capable of responding. The nursing attendants prayed with her and with us, read scripture to her. They administered medication to manage pain. She died in less than three weeks.

It’s been four years now and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think I should give her a call. Still hard to think that she is gone.

Yeah I miss them all, Started in ‘95 and in ten years we buried a whole generation on both my wife’s side and mine.

They were the greatest generation, Salt of the earth, honest hard working, war hero’s and everyday hero’s every last one. There is a gap there that I do not think will ever be filled

I’m sorry for your loss. I believe our experiences are the norm.
