Hold her hand, talk to her -if not for her then for you.

So I held his hand and talked to him. Death brings out such tenderness. I wish you lots of rest, when you can, and the chance to really rest and heal when the time comes. I am thinking of you.seahorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04006649663400552591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10847768.post-62041344110362327632007-09-12T20:29:00.000+01:002007-09-12T20:29:00.000+01:00I think maybe Norah is right.

I remmeber when my own parents were dying it was like the longest, cruelest waiting and guessing game. <BR/><BR/>In fact your waiting for a peaceful end and it does sound as if your Mum is peaceful which is a blessing.<BR/><BR/>Take it carefully, one step at a time. Be gentle with yourself.<BR/><BR/>Much loveCusphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717783581169397585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10847768.post-72547870550015905222007-09-12T18:07:00.000+01:002007-09-12T18:07:00.000+01:00Maggie, big hugs.

I can't offer anything to make things ok all I can say is grasp every moment you get to stroke your mum's forehead and tell her that you love her. There are so many who never get the chance...<BR/><BR/>Whilst I know this is so terribly painful for you I am pleased that your Mum's friend was able to bring you some comfort at this time.<BR/><BR/>My love and {{HUGS}} to you and your family, Natalya (talj) xxNatalyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565960816777440474noreply@blogger.com
