Mom died last night at 11:15 PM. I would love to say it was a quiet, peaceful death but it wasn't and all my 29 years of nursing failed me. At the very end when Mom was finally in a come I was able to help the nurse turn Mom. Before then she was in such pain we had decided not to have her repositioned. So I was able to lovingly help turn her so she could handle her secretions better. I was holding her hand as she died with my husband quietly singing his own beautiful prayer asking the Lord to take her home in the background. As far as my MS I have decided that MS and 8 weeks from diagnosis to death do not do well at all. Exhaustion doesn't even come close to how I feel and we still have to go through her apartment, pick what we want, read the will, go through the visitation and funeral and then clean out her apartment. I'm sure there be many things that we could donate to worthy causes that we will just throw away because we just won't care.

Thank you all for your support and putting up with all my blogs here. I did start my own journal that has helped me and others who have read it. I encouraged anyone who wanted to to add their thoughts also. I will treasure the few entrys that my Mom put in
