Boy is this tough. Her heart is still going strong and has normal blood pressure. The doc says it could be another week. She's not in pain anymore and is just on autopilot. It's unbelievably surreal to me that in another few days from now she won't be here. I've known her 50 years of my life, and she's been there for me through thick and thin. But this is the natural order of things and I must accept it, but man does it hurt.

Stay with when she goes. If you have kids, have them visit her as often as possible. You and any kids you have are the most precious things in the world to her, so make sure she is surrounded by what she loves on her way out.

Truth. If you are not there when she actually goes, you may regret it for years.

Especially for a mom. We developed in her, fed off of her, shared stem cells and she loved us when we were completely helpless. It is only right to return that love to her so that her last feeling is our love, and the last thing she sees is our face.
