I told my mom it is okay to die today. It was impossibly hard to do, but I knew I had to say it. She isn't able to communicate anymore and barely opens her eyes but once or twice a day. Being here at her house and helping her through her end of life is the most difficult and most important thing I have ever done.

It will be any day now.

Oh honey. I wish I could do something. *love*

Thanks, Abi.

Oh, Christina. I'm so sorry. I think you are doing, and have done an amazing job being there for her.
I'll be thinking of her & you. <3

Thank you so much. It was so hard to be there and watch her decline day by day. I have long struggled with my own spirituality, but somehow I know that someone was waiting for her with open arms and she can finally rest.

Christina, I am so so sorry you are going through this right now. I can't even begin to imagine. I've been thinking about you a lot and I'm sending you all my best to get through this.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It is nice to know that people have been thinking of us and sending their best. It certainly helps all of us to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

I'm thinking of you and I'm so sorry you are going through with this.

Thanks. It has been a horrible/unpredictable/comforting/enlightening/peaceful time. It hasn't quite sunk in yet.
