Frances, I am so terribly sorry for your family’s loss but am thankful for your Mum’s peaceful release. Now I pray for peace for all who’s lives your Mum touched and joy for the memories you share
I have not yet suffered through this devastation; just thinking about it makes my heart seize up. I am so sad for you and all your family; I’m relieved that at least the end was peaceful.
You, your sister and your daughters were there for her. This is so important. What a great family she had. I am sorry for your loss, but know she appreciated and loved all of you.
So, so sorry Frances, for you and your family. I’m glad you had these last few weeks to spend time with her, and that she died peacefully. Take time to treasure the happy memories, and be kind to yourself.
Sending love, and thinking of you all.
My sincerest condolences. Your mother was blessed to have such devoted daughters and grandchildren. And may you have many warm and happy memories of her to cherish down the road.
oh my! I’ve not walked this way yet, my heart goes out to you!
Think of you every time i talk to my 3 ‘sheep’ you made & now will pray for you & family, as you plan the next steps.
Be kind to yourselves & know that many are thinking of you.
Hugs fm Hereford
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And rains fall soft upon the fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand
Oh, my heart hurts for all of you. It is so hard to deal with the loss of someone you love so much even if it might be an end to their suffering. We had this happen to us with my husband’s father, who was a dear soul but so sick and living in and out of hospital ICUs for about 5yrs. We had one ICU nurse say that he had 9 lives and with less than 1/4 of his heart working, it was an absolute miracle he could speak let alone stay with us as long as he had. We kept expecting the phone to ring after he passed and it took months to realize we wouldn’t be called out in the middle of the night any longer. I cried so hard the day I realized I didn’t have to have the cell phone on the night table any longer…
The only consolation is that the person you love finally has peace. Think of you all and sending big huge hugs and strength. And wishing you all the sweet joyous memories that help to heal.
My deepest condolences on your loss. Yesterday was the first anniversary of my father’s passing, so it was a sad day for us. Never easy, especially losing a parent. Thinking of you and your family.
Dear Frances, my deepest sympathies to you and your sister, your husband and daughters and all your family, and all your mother’s extended family and friends.
I am so sorry to hear this.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very sad time,
warm wishes,
Liz
So sorry for you and your sister Frances. As you say, she is at peace now and to have died like that is a blessing. However much of a relief for you on her behalf, you will have some difficult time ahead. Look after yourself.
“OH, a wonderful horse is the Fly-Away Horse–
Perhaps you have seen her before;
Perhaps, while you slept, her shadow has swept
Through the moonlight that floats on the floor.
For it’s only at night, when the stars twinkle bright,
That the Fly-Away Horse, with a neigh
And a pull at her rein and a toss of her mane,
Is up on her heels and away!
The moon in the sky,
As she gallopeth by,
Cries: “Oh! What a marvelous sight!”
And the Stars in dismay
Hide their faces away
In the lap of old Grandmother Night.”
Good to hear that the end was peaceful for your mum but never easy. As others have said, she was fortunate to have you near her over these last weeks and I’m sure you’ll have so many happy memories . Yours seems to have been an interesting family. I guess the next few days/weeks will not be easy so make sure you look after yourself. xx
I’m so sorry to hear this, but glad it was peaceful. You mom was lucky to have such a wonderful daughter and grandchildren. My thoughts are with you all.
Sincerest condolences to you, your sister & your families. Blessings to you & your sister for being there for your mum. Not an easy situation for either of you. Take care of yourself & hug sweet Teddy too.
Dear Frances, my heart aches for you, your sister, Daisy and Floss, OH and all who knew and loved your mum. So thankful that you were able to spend time with your mum and that you made the wonderful decision to rescue her from hospital and take her somewhere more pleasant for her final days. You have been a beautiful, loving and caring daughter and your mum knew that. May God’s grace help you to bear your loss and strengthen you for the days and months ahead.
” The lord bless you and keep you; the lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you.The lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.”

So very sad. I guess there comes a time when you stop praying for a recovery and instead wish for a peaceful death. I’m glad that final prayer was answered for your mum.
I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is horrible no matter what your age is and nothing can take away the pain. May her memory be a blessing. Hugs from Florida.

I’m so sorry Frances, no matter how old we are it’s a huge loss when our parents die.

Get home to your beloved Shetland and let your animals heal you.
