Your words resonate with me in a way I can't begin to explain. I wrote a memoir, "My Life With Rita", as a tribute to her. I think you might find tremendous comfort in it, as I wrote it for other family members and caretakers in the same boat I was in.

That should be comforting to you..as much as Hospice or anyone can try and prepare you for the death of your mother, they never will..my own experience when my mother passed away is that it was nothing like what I expected, but it was everything it was supposed to be I guess. My prayer to God was that I did not want her to be alone when she passed and she wasn"t, I was there holding her hand which also allowed me to see such a peaceful look wash over her face as she took her last breath. That bond that you"ve had with your mom all your life will never be broken, even long after she is gone, the bond will always be there..My prayer for you is the same, and I pray that God gives you the strength to get through this with a peace for yourself as well...Debbie (Maine)<br />campmoxie@yahoo.com.auAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
