Hi everyone,
I hope this one posts cuz I lost a big long posting that took almost an hour to write!

Jaye, I'm so sad you are going thru this but we all must face the death of our parents at some time or another. Even when we expect it, it's extremely difficult. I know how you are hurting and believe me it does ease up with time. Hold tight to your memories of your mom and hold tight to your husband, kids and friends. We love you Jaye and if we can do anything to help you thru this, just let us know. A few of us have lost our parents and can help.

Kathy, it's tough to see your child in pain. I went thru a jaw surgery with my daughter and I felt so useless. I wanted to take away her pain but couldn't. Just know that it's worth it in the end. Your DD will get thru this and be thankful to you and your hubby for paying for it. Is this your youngest daughter?

Marla, how is your DH? How are the meds working for him? I hope life is going smoother for you with him.
Dani, how's your mom and how are you? Haven't heard much of you lately either.

Cindy, I see your mom is still at it. She must love you alot to pick on you so much! You're right, she probably won't remember a thing about wanting to leave in the morning! AD just works like that.

Darlene, hope you've been taking care of yourself! How are you and your hubby adjusting since your MIL passed away? It makes life alot different in my opinion.

Wedding update: We have the photographer, the venue, the dress, the DJ, the invitations and the caterers. I'm dress hunting but everything makes me look fat! Why is that??? I have to get addresses for the invitations, get a cake and order the flowers! That's all on my end. The bridesmaids have to pick out their gowns and then my daughter has to get fitted in the dress she got (the dress came all the way from Austrailia cuz that's where the designer lives, I guess) Anyhow...it's been busy.

My MIL is still in a wheelchair. She still has shingles and is in pain and she has a herniated disc that the docs won't do anything about because she's 86. My BIL is in the hospital with aspirating pneumonia. He may have had a mini stroke too as well as congestive heart failure. He's not quite 59 and is rough shape. We're flying out after Spring break, and hopefully he'll still be with us.

I hope this posts this time cuz I can't do this again.
Take care of yourselves and God Bless you all.
Love, SuezeeView Thread

Hi Everyone!

Whew...it was tough finding this board! Kathy, thanks for the tip on adding it to my favorites. After I finish this post, I'm going to do just that.

(((Jaye))) Honey, I'm so sad for you losing your mom. I think we all know that we will have to face this terrible time at some point, but as I told you on FB, memories are precious and you will be remembering your mom more than you realize. Be as strong as you can, but it's ok and good for you to break down and cry. You've been under alot of strain and stress. It will help to cry. You have your hubby and kids and they will be there for you. We all love you and will send prayers your way to help you get thru this sad time. Yes, your mom's suffering is over, but you will miss her terribly. I still miss my mom and it's been 4 years! But time eases the pain and memories help sooth you. God Bless you and your family.

Kathy, my daughter went thru jaw surgery a few years ago. She was in horrible pain for awhile but the end results were worth it. She now has a beautiful smile and as we all know, is engaged. But my sympathies to your daughter. Just keep reminding her that it will all be worth it in the end. She should also be grateful to her parents for footing the bill for all of this. I know it's not cheap!

Cindy, so your mom is still up to her old tricks! She must love you alot to target you all the time. Just tell her if she decides to leave, you are lots younger and can outrun her!

Dani, hope things are going well with you and your mom. And Darlene, how are things with you?

Marla, how's your hubby doing? Are his meds helping him much? Mom took hers for about 6 months and we saw some improvements, but then it was like nothing helped. Of course that was just Aricept. Her doc didn't offer anything else.

Well, wedding plans are coming along. The dress, veil and shoes are in now. The dress was ordered from Austrailia! Unbelievable! We have the caterer and the DJ and of course the venue and invitations have been figured out too. I've been hunting for a dress...no luck yet tho! (why does everything make me look FAT???) Still have to order the cake and flowers but we may just go thru Safeway for both! I've gotta start working on the invitation list! Anyhow, it's been an experience.

We're going back to Oklahoma soon. My BIL with brittle diabetes, who can't use his arms or legs, is in the hospital with aspirating pneumonia. He appears to possibly have congestive heart failure too. At least that is what it sounds like. He'll be 59 on April 1st if he lasts that long. Hopefully he'll hang in there until we can get there and then some I hope. We tried to get tickets sooner, but Spring break is here again and tickets are scarce. We think too that my BIL may have had some small strokes which would explain why he is unable to use his good arm and leg. (His right arm and leg are atrophied from meningitis when he was 4yrs old) My MIL is in a wheelchair now. She has a herniated disc and still has shingles and it hurts her to try to walk. She's 86 so she's allowed I guess. It just saddens me to see them both falling apart.

Byroney...good to see you back on the board!

Take care, my friends. Love you all and God bless you all!
