I lost my Mom last night. The good news is that Jesus was there to welcome her home.

My Mom is finally at peace in the arms of the Lord. After more than a year in a nursing home, she suffered a setback that she couldn't come back from.
She had a history of "mini-strokes" or TIA's over the past few years. She always battled back, but she always lost a step or two each time.
Two weeks ago, she suffered a severe hemorrhagic stroke. Bleeding on the brain finally left her helpless.
After a 5 day stay in the hospital, she was returned to the nursing home this past Tuesday. My two sisters sat with her during the day and I stayed with her overnights.
After a short conversation with her last night, which I'm not sure she heard or understood, one where I assured her that I would take good care of her daughters, she decided that she could stop worrying about them and let go.
It was peaceful.
She loved Jesus with all of her heart because she knew how much Jesus loved her.
I'm so sad and so happy, all at the same time.

My mother-in-law died of a heart attack in our house on Christmas day, and my mother’s health deteriorated over a period of three years. There is no easy way to lose your mother. I will pray for you, and your family’s comfort and strength.

Thank you to all FReepers here...
It’s always reassuring that one can come to this wonderful place that Jim and John have provided for us and receive much needed support in times of happiness as well as grief.
