Michele, that is so beautiful! I don't think I've ever seen it put any better!Originally Posted by noni
And so when the time comes, she will pass with her family around her, loving her back to her Creator. She will leave her body behind, but will take all the love she has ever felt, and bring it with her to her escort angels. These angels will surround her, and continue the love she knows with her family. They will aid her, guide her, and sing her home, back into the Love That IS, and the Love That Always Will BE.
And some of that love she experiences will come back to you. Cindy, when you hold Charlie's hand, feel his love to you through his entwined fingers. Charlie, Cindy's love comes to you through her fingers nestled securely in yours. Together, you form a powerful connection with his mother, who is loving each of you through each other. She is sharing that love, that joy, that peace she now is enveloped in, with each of you, giving it to you to give away to the other. For in the giving is the completion of the circle, the endless circle of love and life and death and love. Give the love back, as it's given to you, and you complete the circle.
Grieve as you both must. Cry, and yell, and scream. And when it's out (and it must be let out), remember each other. Come together, and entwine your fingers together. And know that Mother is there again, the circle complete again, love flowing again.
For it is not Time which heals all wounds; it is Love which is the healer. And the circle the path that Love takes.
You both are in my thoughts and prayers, and may your Mother pass into the eternity of love and joy and peace surrounded by angels laughing.
Best-
Michele
Currently with MIL, she's still holding on, but her BP is going down, her heartrate is speeding up as it tries to compensate for what it cannot do, and the time frame remains from " an hour to a week" as her dr. says, but at this point it is sooner rather than later, and truthfully, for this sweet lady, the sooner the better! I am at work today, will be leaving early to go back to the hospital to spend the night unless hub calls and tells me that she's gone. As far as the family, like one of her nephews put it last night, when she goes, we won't cry for her, 'cause she's home, and healthy. We will cry for ourselves, for our loss, but she hasn't lost anything, she's gained everything.
