Sending my prayers with you. You were there for me with hugs and support, so I am here for you. It is hard but she knows you are there with all your family. She can hear you, so speak loving words and let her know it is okay to leave here to go home as you have been. You are a great daughter and I am so glad you get to be with her.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

Your mom is lucky to have you by her side. She raised a wonderful woman.

Sending hugs and prayers to you, and your family.

I just spent a week with my beloved aunt, and I am grateful for that time.

May your Mom find the peace and love on the other side.

I was blessed to spend the last few days with my mom as well, and I am so glad I had the opportunity. We had a very difficult relationship when I was younger, and I was able to let go of a lot of that as I waited with her for her to let go and move to a better place. It was very cathartic for both of us, I believe. Prayers for you in this difficult time, and I hope you find peace and closure.

There is a special thing about loved ones. If you are holding their hand you don't need words. Love, thoughts and feeling travel through osmosis and are received and welcomed.

No actual words need to be spoken,

Oh, sweetheart, I am so sorry. I lost my mum a few years ago now and was able to be with her as she passed, and in the days leading to that day.

It is still a great source of comfort to me that I was there with her at such a special time.

Please lean on people as much as you can in the coming days.

I am here day and night if you need to talk. Grief is a special form of madness.

Much love to you.

Thank you all. You have no idea how comforting it is to know so many people have my family in their thoughts.

Several siblings are heading home this weekend, hoping to see Mom one last time and hold Dad up in the final days. I will be heading back on Sunday for another visit as well.

Arrangements have been made for her services, her obituary has been drafted, and photos have been gathered and scanned to share with those who come to mourn.

Our attention is now turning from the bothersome but necessary logistics to the memories, stories, and legends that Mom is leaving in her wake. We are sharing laughter, eye rolls, inside jokes, and bittersweet tears: celebrating the life of a remarkable and singular woman.

You can call me NIK

((NIK))

My father just passed away on Wednesday afternoon, I was with him when he took his last breath

Just before he passed, I told him that we loved him, that he was the best son, husband, father, grandpa, and great grandpa we could ever have

I assured him that our mother would be fine with three grown children to look after her, that his request to "go home" could now happen because the door was open and his loved ones were waiting for him

I stroked his cheek and forehead while holding his hand, soft classical music was playing.

It was so peaceful and I feel so blessed to be there when he went to be with God <3<3<3
