    @Shan

    I am sorry for the loss of your dear mother. You certainly went above and beyond in a difficult set of circumstances. I am glad for your improved connection with your sisters and wish you all peace and strength in the coming days.

    I am so sorry for your loss. How wonderful that she had those moments of clarity and was able to help bond you and your sisters’ together with humor and love on Friday. Treasure that memory. I have heard that LO’s wait until family members are all gathered, or, conversely, wait until they are not present when it’s time for the soul to leave the body. Funny, that way. My DH passed on April 21; I think he waited for our son from TX to get home to PA and although DH had no moments of clarity prior to leaving, I believe he knew that I and the kids were there and he left peacefully. Take care of yourself; wishing you comfort and peace in the coming days.

    I too am sorry for your loss; such a shocking outcome, not what anyone was expecting. I am glad you all have each other for support. I am glad her suffering is over.

    Please accept my condolences in the loss of your dear Mom. I think your mom would want you sisters to be together and comfort each other, as you are doing.

    @Shan I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that you and your sisters find comfort in knowing you did everything you could for mom. I also hope that you can take some joy in remembering the women she used to be and knowing that she is at peace. Thinking of you and sending wishes for peace and healing.

    Shan: I have followed your saga and now don’t even know what to say. I have no advice after the dreadful ending. No one was expecting what happened.

    I give you my deepest sympathy.

    Love to you, your sisters, and to Angel.
