Good bye and Thank you!

I want to thank this wonderful group for their support over the last 3 1/2 years. My mom died early Tuesday morning under hospice care. She had been on hospice care for 2 1/2 years. I pray for everyone who is still on the journey. Best, Shannon aka Books4fun

    Shannon,

    I am sad for you and your loss, and elated for your mother’s release from this cruel illness. I hope that you will find comfort in the coming days ahead from all of the wonderful memories you made and shared with your precious mama. 

    I pray that you will sense and feel her presence all around you when she is nearby, because she most certainly will be. 

    If she could tell you, I am sure she would want you to know how very much your love and care of her during this journey meant to her. It is an interesting role reversal that we experience when becoming the caregiver to that person who was always our caregiver. We come full circle in the ultimate display of love.

    I hope you are able to find peace in the days ahead!

    Look for signs from her.

    Sandy
