I've heard several stories over the years similar to your grandmother's. My mother-in-law died last August and a week before she went she became fully herself for one day and said everything she wanted/needed to say to her children, and then went back to her semi-vegetative state until she died. So many cultures and religions recognize the importance of having your loved ones around you at the end--I think it makes the transition easier for everyone. I so agree about the far-reaching healing you are enabling through this blog. Thanks for posting, even though many days I'm sure you don't feel much like it.The Violet Hoarderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09155859961836916108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113305524165042046.post-85696208460319770932011-05-03T07:13:34.987-05:002011-05-03T07:13:34.987-05:00Thank you for this eye opening discussion.

I tend to need aloneness to process 'things' but am glad to see the embracing of important people to yourself at this time-we were able to surround my mil this way and it was good for all of us. You are spreading far reaching healing to so many.Delighted Handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289187765260532813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113305524165042046.post-26169940901900245062011-05-03T01:45:41.362-05:002011-05-03T01:45:41.362-05:00Dear Sis...
I know your story won't be over. ...Dear Sis...<br /><br />I know your story won't be over. You have your son. And in the long term scheme of things, if in the end we do get to take care of the parts of our lives that were neglectd...well...Woohoo for you! And for me...we should have a right nice time, possibly together, enjoying the fields of perfect flowers on a sunny day and the scenery of the Rocky mountains behind it. All whilst sitting, knitting and drinking tea without interuption.Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06191033387441287058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113305524165042046.post-91718932804707217952011-05-02T22:20:49.024-05:002011-05-02T22:20:49.024-05:00I have stumbled on to your cancer blog and I found...I have stumbled on to your cancer blog and I found myself going way back in older posts to listen to your story. <br /><br />My son died of metastatic ocular melanoma 2 years ago. I came out to California from Maryland and lived with him for 5 months. Reading your story reminds me and encourages me that my time with him was meant to be. I believe that your words are meant to be for those who need encouragement and information as they deal with cancer. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing. I hope you will not mind if I say a prayer for you and your family that you may continue to face each day with courage and strength. <br /><br />I send you a "gentle" hug. <br />LeslieLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12974028282170302709noreply@blogger.com
