Again, I played God Today...... (my Mom)

5. Hey Benny

I am so sorry for all your pain. I was there with my dad, begging my asshat brother to come help as well.

I don't know you but I can give you this tiny little bit of advice. Sit with mom, sing her a favorite song, tell her a favorite story, tell the poor dear that it's OK to go and that her loved ones are there waiting for her.

I was there alone with my favorite aunt and my dad when they passed and I too dread the day I have to do that again. But, if I might share my experience, I would swear that the room was filled with people. It just felt like my grandmother was in the room. I looked at my aunt and said, "I think your mom is here to get you" and my aunt nodded her head, I told her I loved her and told her to go. ANd she was gone, just like that.

I just feel deep in my heart if you can't be with your mom, she won't be alone. There are those who are waiting to see her again and there will just be joy.

I dearly hope I haven't offended you. I just hope to share some peace with you.

Good luck with the move. You might call a few local battered women's shelters and tell them you have household goods that they can have if they have someone they are helping set up a new house for. Quite often those women have to start off with nothing so many cities have programs that help to collect household stuff. And then some good comes from all of this.

Peace Benny, good luck.
