Mom is Dancing!! Posted Mar 10, 2009 08:36 AM
I write with great joy to tell you that my Mom is free and dancing in heaven. As you know I had a cold for the past week and was unable to visit. This distressed me. My sister called me on Sunday to say Mom was waiting for something. I told her it was me. My Mom and I have always been the closest and I knew she was waiting for me. Yesterday I spent hours with her. I gave her a facial and did her hair and told her I was getting her ready to go. I held her hand and told her the things that needed to be said. For just a moment she opened her eyes and tried to say something. I said "I love you too" and she closed her eyes. When I kissed her goodbye I knew it was for the last time. She died peacefully in the night. My heart is filled with joy. I thank you all for your words of encouragement and love. MaryAnne

Dear Mary Anne,

What a wonderful story and such a special, special time to be
with your Mom and be able to celebrate her transition.

Much Love,

Dearest MaryAnn,

How wonderful that you were able to spend those last moments with your mom.......doing those things for her that feel so loving. My sister and I exchanges facials and hairdo etc in a "night of beauty" a few years ago when she visited me. It was such a bonding loving thing do together. I will always cherish it. We laughed and talked all night. I know your mother couldn't really speak any longer...but as you said, you knew what she was "saying"

May you be able to ask for what you need from the people around you, who love you and care for you. It is their opportunity to let you know how much. I hope you will give them this gift and allow them to comfort you.

You are an amazing woman. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Love,

Debra

Dear Mary Ann,
I am in the shoes that you just stepped out of. My Mother is living with us at 93 yrs of age, with dementia and as hard as it is much of the time - I still count "our" blessings to have her. I suppose if I have a pity pot, this is it. I love her so dearly and have made the choice to put my life on hold while "loving her lifetime out". Her words, not mine. However, how I dream for just an hour alone at times. You have made me appreciate where I am today. Thank you.

Dear MaryAnne,

I am so glad for you to have the time to say goodbye to your precious Mother.

I didn't comment on your previous post because I am still, after 9 years, missing my Mom. It brought back my intense emotions that I had to deal with while she was ill. I couldn't seem to bring myself to write about it.

But today what you shared reminded me of what a friend said during my grief.
Not many people are blessed with the time to say goodbye.
For me, I can say this special time has carried me through it all.

I know it will for you too...as you said "My heart is filled with joy"

with Love,
