Hospice
I told you that I would be back checking all of your blog posts. But life has stepped in yet again. Hospice has let us know that we’re probably looking at a week or less with Mom, although no one really knows. Dennis and I are taking turns spending the night with her and we’ll both be there during the day. We don’t want her to be alone at all. I know many of you have been through this with your own parents and family members and understand just how stressful and emotional this all is. Thank you all for your love and your prayers. We appreciate them more than you know.

Betsy, I am so sorry to hear this, but I am glad you heard it before you actually left on your little trip. My heart goes out to you. The Lord never promised that we wouldn't have some very hard times in our lives but He did promise that He would always be there with us. Lean into Him, there is no one better.

ReplyDeleteBetsy, you and your family are in my prayers during this heart-wrenching time. My husband died on February 19th and if it were not for my faith and trust in God, I would not have survived this time. May God bless you all. Marta
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this. I went through this with my own Mother a few years ago, and it was very disheartening. Sending prayers for you and your family.
