One of my co-workers just went into hospice. I was worried it was coming,
but I was still shocked.

Please keep her family in your prayers, especially her daughter who I believe
has down syndrome. Who will be more lost than anyone.

Luckily they renovated a house they owned, that was on their land.
Like a guest house. For her in the last year or so. I think so that she
would be set up somewhere.

But its going to be hard for her when the time comes without mom.

And also for my co-workers who have known her even longer than me.
I've known her for 10 years, and I'm taking it hard. She is such a loving
woman and I worried the first time they found the cancer.

And when it kept returning. But when the chemo, kept giving so much
trouble I was really worrying about this.

So now there is no idea I don't think how long. And its really hard to
say good-bye. Period.

sending warm thoughts your way, Donna. It is hard to see some one you care about suffer. It sounds as though she has been thru a lot.

Dear Donna,

This is hard. I'm sorry. Will you be able to visit her once in a while or send wishes of love?

Oh I should have made it plain, I'm sorry. There is at least on
other son or daughter I can't remember which. She has grandchildren.

And a loving husband. I would really love to go visit her. One of
my co-workers has asked if she is up to having or can have visitors.

And I will go even though it is I believe a 4 hour drive. She was on staff
when I started. She was one that helped me start my job, and learn
to be more confident. She has the same supervisor I do. And was helpful
with learning to take her way.

But more than that she was just herself with all of us.

As to loving thoughts, yes, I will go get a card and I think a gift certificate, because its hard to send something else in the mail. But hopefully her husband or daughter can go get it for her.

Maybe it would help her daughter, that she can go get something, to sooth her mom, at walmart.
