[QUOTE=Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor] Been doing this. She threw out her coupons & had me clean out her closets over the last 2 weeks. She knew. She’s unconscious, & on morphine. Family is taking turns by her bed. Holding her hand for hours on end. Oxygen down to 80%. [/QUOTE] I am so very sorry… (Stay with her; don’t post here to the likes of me…) ☹ If you can, talk about anything and everything; apologize for misbehaving when you were 5. Forgive her for any fights/disagreements you’ve ever had. Even if you know she’s forgiven you & knows you forgive her, try to get it out & get it said while she’s with you… ---

I’m so sorry, you’re in my thoughts. We lost my mother’s father very suddenly last April, I feel for your situation. Like others have said, keep talking to her. She must have had so many worries in the past few months, trying to keep the bad news from bringing everyone down. I hope that your family can all be with her. ---

So sorry to hear about your Mom, **Bosda** ; you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. It’s sad that she hid it from everyone, so it’s coming as a huge shock, but forgive her because as you said she was being a good mom and not wanting you all to worry about her. {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} (I lost my Mom to ovarian cancer in 2003) ---
