We...Walking down this path is hard, isn't it? <br /><br />We like to think we are in control. In the little things, we can at least put on the facade of control. Events like this, not so much. And letting go of the illusion of control and trusting God to see her through the journey, especially when you know that journey will end with your mom's death, is so hard. There are no words except I love you, friend, and I'm praying for you and for her and for easing of pain.mibi52/ The Rev.

Knocked out, gorped, and (Fran will appreaciate this one since it's Yiddish) plotzed. Esp. plotzed b/c it has a double meaning. Broken beyond repair, and literally "crapped out.")<br /><br />But there is no doubt you are very matter of factly describing what I call "death by inches." I am so sorry to hear it.<br /><br />What makes this hard is that everyone knows it is happening but no one knows "when." What do you plan for? What don't you plan for? Then there is that place where you find yourself feeling guilty as hell because you catch your self wishing "this was over" yet do NOT want to lose someone you love.<br /><br />All I can say is, you are loved, and there are plenty of us here for you and to pray for all of those in your family.Kirkepiscatoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02651684515435040529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948195760517749367.post-82520043130968281272009-06-26T19:35:45.909-04:002009-06-26T19:35:45.909-04:00Oh Laura, Laura...
