It is hard on your emotional well-being watching someone pass away right in front of you.
well this is really not a question, I guess just an update on how things are going, mom has pnewmonia again, aspiration of the lungs, she isnly 70 pounds now, and completely delerious........everytime I see her which is daily, she is declining more and more, I ask god why??? when she is lucid and in the right state of mind she knows exactly whats going on, is now extremely humble, and to see her lying there not being able to even use a phone, read a book, or even talk so that I can understand her, is just so so sad and heart wrenching for me, now she is off to the hospital again to maybe get her lungs pumped which the doctors dont even think she will survive because she is so weak, today I bought her a Kindle, something she can at least pick books she might like, I download them for her, and it reads the books for her, as when she is not sick she is very on the ball, and understands everything, thats the thing that makes it so difficult, she see's she cant eat or walk because she has no balance left and will fall, Please everybody pray for us...........thanks you guys are terrific...........Susan

Take care of yourself the best you can,

Every nite now after our prayers, I whisper in her ear and tell her "Its alright to let go" and that "I'll be just fine". I feel at this point she is holding on, waiting for something. But what is it??? All I can do is reassure her.
The lord will take care of your mom. Its only human to question WHY?? But there is a higher power that has a plan for all of us. I pray that the lord will give you the strength thru this difficult time.
Enjoy the time you have with your mom, those will be memories you will always cherish forever. Those memories will help you get thru your loss when the time comes.
