The hardest part of today was watching them carry my Mom out of the house. My DH was asked to help carry her and that somehow made me feel better, that someone who loved her helped her on her way. She will be cremated, and later this summer we will spread her ashes under a pine tree, special to our family, on our family land, that was once a part of my grandparents farm.
My brother went home before the funeral director arrived. He was up with Mom most of the night and is exhausted. We are staying with my Dad for now.
My Dad is talking nonstop. He's going to crash eventually.
I am planning the service, DB turned everything over to me. I wrote the obituary, and will meet with the funeral director tomorrow.
A quote I will not use at the funeral: And I loved them in all their flawed, outrageous humanity : Prince of Tides, Pat Conroy
Thank you so much for all your care.

I will join you under that rock. Day 10 and I'm still feeling crappy!

All love and comfort your way, DD.
Bit of regression on the healing path but hanging in there ...at the place where extreme boredom has set in, but not enough energy to do anything about it. Crawling back under the rock....
Relax into the healing process.....breathe in breathe out-repeat. All will be well.
God wrap you and your family in His all loving arms. Take care of each other as you share your good byes and remembrance of your mother.
Glad you got a sunny day!
I too would like an updated contact list for our group. Perhaps share on TT!
Did you decide on a brand for your induction stove?

Greetings all
Big sun today. It is energizing. I already have my list for today including gym and shopping for chili ingredients for tomorrow's football game. This is the Oregon Ducks which is sort of our team since Nebraska has fallen apart.
All our thoughts are with Diamond D today. Grateful to hear the end was peaceful and that family could come and that some fences were mended. Most of us have been through this - grief, relief, regret, numbness, despair and eventually some peace. I just heard today from the woman who was my mother's main nurse and was at her death. She is family to us. Sounds like DD has lots of great extended family and hope she will share the weight of all the events to follow with them. In my case the burdens of decisions and actions fell mainly on me initially and that was pretty rough. So DD accept all help that is offered.
Peps your stuff sneaked up on me! Glad you are through it. Bet you feel better when bandages are gone. Demand drugs. Maybe heat or cold would help with the background pain.
Liz you are indeed so active! No wonder you maintain your weight loss well. Enjoy the cruise! Where is this one going? Enjoy time with DS.
Yeah Paula I think the watch does go by arm movement and I move in a rather peculiar way doing up stairs - need lots of help from the rail. I also think it does not get all my treadmill steps as I often hold on to the rails. So maybe I need to put my Apple watch on my ankle which would look like a jail monitor and be completely ridiculous. Or maybe I just need to go with whatever and not worry about it.
Who has the address list that we put together some time ago? Can anyone share it? I have no clue where mine is.
Time to make eggs and get out and about. One more bean dinner. If I am in the mood I may go stove shopping since the appliance store is near the gym.
