A Peaceful Passing
David had been having a few bad days, mainly due to the aspiration pneumonia (he had been having trouble swallowing for about a week). But yesterday, he rallied some, I think mainly because Hannah arrived home on Thursday. We got out some old pictures of some trips we've taken together and he seemed to enjoy that.
We knew that this day would come at some point, but now that it is here, it seems so sudden and unbelieveable.
We are OK for now but I feel like we're embarking on uncharted territory. Living without David in our life will leave a huge hole that can never be filled, but the love and prayers of our friends and family will get us through.

Connie,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have read many of your posts and you strength and courage amaze me. You have loved your son with every ounce of energy in your being and you can be proud of that. I am at the beginning of my journey with my husband and I hope I can do half as well as you have. I hope you share the good memories with your family and that you are surrounded by love.
I wish I could give you a big hug.

I am so very deeply sorry
When I logged on and saw the title of your topic for this post, I started sobbing before I even opened it. I kept looking at the name of the poster, refusing to open it, not wanting it to be you who had written that...."a peaceful passing." I'm still crying so hard that I can't see to type. I am so sorry, Connie. I'm glad that you were there with him, I'm glad that he spent his days at home with you and his dad and his sister and that he had constant loving care, I'm glad that he didn't suffer and that he had a half smile on his face...but I feel so broken hearted. I must live in denial because it's so hard for me to believe that your David is gone. I am so sorry for how I know you must feel....it is so true, there will be such a hole left in your lives. You (and I) have lived the last few years totally for our sons...it will be so hard to know what to do when they are not with us any more. I dread the day that I fear is drawing closer for me too.
Connie, I hope that you will feel some comfort, knowing that you did everything in your power and you fought hard for your son to have the best care that he possibly could have had. I wanted to be like you, with my David. I know that in time, you and your husband and daughter will heal and go on--as you said, you will get through this, but I hate the pain and sorrow that you all will have to go through before you reach that point.
My thoughts and prayers and love are with you.

Connie,
I was so sad to see your post today, and wanted you to know that my family will be thinking about you and your family during this difficult time. I'm so glad you had some good moments together when Hannah came. I can't imagine how difficult this is for you, but I just wanted you to know that others grieve with you, even from a distance. God Bless you. CindyO0 -

It saddend me to
Connie,
It saddend me to read about David's passing. A peaceful passing is a blessing. Words cannot express how deeply I hurt for you and your family. May you find comfort in knowing that he is no longer suffering and that you did all you could for him. May God continue to be with you and your family. Just continue to lean on the Lord and he will see you through. I can't imagine how you may be feeling right now, but know that you have many people here thinking of you and lifting you up in prayer during this difficult time and throughout. I pray for you to have continued strength as time passes.
My condolences go out to you and your family.0 -

So Sorry for your loss!
Connie,
I try to get on here first thing Monday mornings to check on everyone over the weekend. I started crying as soon as I saw the title to your post! You and David have been down a long hard road, and you are a very strong woman! David was very lucky to have a Mother like you, and you be sure to remember that! I am so glad he passed peacefully in his sleep, and you have that smile to keep in your heart forever! There are no words to say, but I do want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Like all of the others on here, your family will be in all of our thoughts this week. Again I am so sorry for your loss!!
Prayers to you and your family!!

Its been hard...

Its Been Hard....
Hi Ms. Connie, my mother is 69 yrs. old. She was dianosed last January 2012. Talking with the doctors evrytime, was like our worst day. Saying things like nothing is gonna change anything. Sometimes i think, maybe because he knows we're poor. That even if we ask for another opinion, they will only say the same. Life is tough with people like us who don't have the money to support the person you LOVE. You feel it more when things like these happen, felt like we're not good enough for them. Today is April 27, 2012, my mom's condition is not good. She sleeps most of the day, can't talk , walk and very weak. Ive had really bad days where i could not stop crying for most of the day. I miss her....I love her with all my heart. I still ask "HIM" WHY HER... SHES AN AMAZING PERSON, A MOTHER AND A FRIEND TO US. i DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA BE OKEY AGAIN...
