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.
Prayers for your family!
I am SO sorry but share in your joy of her Afterlife.
Prayers for you and yours.
You were blessed to have her so long. She is home now!
I’m sorry..
My condolences. I know she was very happy to have love ones by her side. I hope I have the same.
May the Lord hold you while you grieve, and comfort you with the knowledge of her newfound glory.
Very sorry for you. I’m sure she heard you in her heart. I lost my Dad only a few weeks ago. He knew I was there too. The worst thing, losing a beloved Parent. Again, very sorry for your loss. May God Bless You.
My heart goes out to you. My mother died Oct. 26, 2013. Prayers for your Mom and all her children.
Prayers and thoughts for you, your sisters and the rest of the family, FRiend.
BTLD, I’m so sorry. Prayers up for you and your family. Your mom sounded truly inspirational.
Never easy to say goodbye even when you know the time is right.
Blessings
I lost my mom many years ago and she was in her 60s.
I know it doesn’t help (I feel the loss to this day) but I do hope you appreciate how much time you had together.
Prayers for comfort for you and your family.
May God richly bless you and your family. We thank the Lord that she was a Godly woman and raised Godly children.
My thoughts and prayers for you and yours
I lost my mother when I was six. Often wonder what sort of person I would have turned out like if I had grown up with her there. Quite different I am sure.
Treasure in heaven.
There is a new Saint in the presence of God.
Thank you Jesus!
