MJ's Mom
 

Passed away this evening. I know you were ready for it, but it doesn't really make it any easier.
I'm very sorry for your loss Pal.

Thanks chum.

MJ prayers to you and your family.

Thanks CB for letting everyone know!

I got a call this morning saying ma had a bad night, we called the nurse and she came out and asked uf if we wanted her home or at the care center? Ma was still aware of things and went to the care center.
Once there she went down pretty fast, but was still with us but lost her abilty to speak, Imade sureshe could understand me then read her the card i made, we both had a tear in our eye! I am so glad she got to hear it!!
After that she just got a little more pain and she got some meds and went to sleep. As the night went on we could see her breathing getting bad, and increased her meds as this went on, then at 9:45 pm she was gone
her\ 4 sons wifes grandkids and friends were there to say goodbye. we had a priest there in the afternoon, and she was able to confess and get last rights which is what she wanted. Her sister from NY is a minster and she also did last righys so I said to her you betterhurry and go as there will never be a better time then now! I belive she smiled :)

Ma we miss you already!! RIP! Your sleeping with the Angles now!! :sleep:

As terrible as it sounds, at least she went quickly and didn't suffer longer. I'm so happy you got to read her your card MJ. I'm sure it meant a great deal to her. God bless both of you.

My bet is she felt no pain at all while you were reading the card to her...took her away from her situation, if only for a brief time...it's hard to see them go down like that and then to pass on as will we all. You did good, MJ...you did a whole lot of good...

Good job MJ. Sorry for your loss.

MJ, Sorry for your loss.

Thought and prayers to you and your family

I am sorry for you MJ. Like you said, it was a good thing she went peacefully and now her pain is gone. Glad you got to read that card you made.

Is there going to be a wake?

MJ, really sorry to hear the news about your mom. Take comfort that you were a great son to her and you stayed by her side and did what you could to make her comfortable. Shes in a better place now and not suffering anymore. Praying for you and your family!!

No wake, she stated that if they could not come see her alive, then don't borther when she was dead!! Thats the way she was, and for better or worse i think the same way! I have a small set of close friends (besids you guys!!) and thats the way i like it, if you have no time for me, i have none for you. That said each and everyone of them are very close and mean the world to me! I love them all!

I always thought the wake was just as much if not more for the living to help with the healing and acceptance. But you are respecting her wishes which is best. We would have stopped by if there was one.

If you are like me, it will take awhile to really believe that she is gone.

Hang in there.

Just now seeing this.....sad, sad, sad....she will live forever in the memory of family and loved ones. Sorry pal.

very sorry to her about your mom. prayers are sent for her and your family.

Sorry for your loss, MJ. You're in my prayers.

I think it was awesome that you were there with her and were able to read to her Im sure it comforted both of you thru such a hard time. i was able to be by my Grandmothers side when she passed, it helped with alot of closure knowing she left with all of her loved ones around. Im sure your Mother felt the same way knowing her family was there with her. God bless you MJ and your family.

MJ, so sorry for your loss. It's good that you got to share your share your feeling before she went.

I lost my Mom 10 years ago this year, April 10 I took her into ER, June 10 she was gone. Like RKC said it hit me harder weeks and months later how much I miss her. I still do but the good memories come up a lot more than the bad now. I hope they do for you too.

She' smiling down on ya now MJ. It seems you all did a great job of taking care of things in short notice. No wake or big funeral for me either. Dump my ashes in Bull River and go back to the house and have an oyster roast/lowcountry boil while playing the Allman Bros.

Sorry for your lose.I hope you take comfort knowing she is with the angels now.Also be glad you and your family were there to say good bye.when my mother passed i was 90 miles away and only got a phone call.
