My Mom Has Passed Away...

[Ms.Matrix]

I just wanted to update my geeky family to let you all know that my mom passed away last night at 11:46pm. :cry:

I was there with her and I hugged her and held her hand until she went on home.

She had not been doing well yesterday, her blood pressure kept dropping and they could not keep her heart rate and oxygen levels up. My dad and I had went to see her and while we were there she aspirated, meaning that some of the contents of her stomach had backed up into her lungs, the nurses were able to suction most of it out, but when I spoke with the doctor he said that it was critical and that from the fluid going into her lungs that she would have a pneumonia like condition thereafter. I stayed until they got her stablized then my dad and I left. About 15 mins after we were at home the doctor called and said she had gone into respritory failure and that there was nothing more they could do to save her, I called my mom's best friend and we went back down there, when I walked in her vitals were slowly declining and I held her and told her I loved her and told her that I would be okay, and then she slipped away. :cry: :cry:

I just want to thank you all for your continued support although most of you are half a world away you are all near and dear to my heart. Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers at this time.

[Ms.Matrix]

Thank you...

I know I was there when it happened, but it' so hard believing it happened. I know no one lives forever and that death is an unfortunate part of life, but I always thought my mom would be here. It's all so surreal right now.

Yolanda nothing can take the pain away, but when my best friend died at 18 this was read at her funeral and I really found comfort in it ....

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household world that it always was,
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It it the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
Just around the corner.
All is well.

Take care of you hun, your mum is taking care of your brother now and she'll look after you again one day when the time is right ... just around the corner. :hug:

[phoebe_cat]

Sending you and your family all my love :hug:

As Pips said, she is free from all the pain and suffering she has been through recently and I'm sure it made her last moments more bearable to have you there holding her.

Now you need to let people take care of you for a bit after everything you have been through!

Take care :hug:

She is Gone
By Anonymous
You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she's gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. :hug:
