So sorry Dee. Getting old is not for the faint of heart.

May God’s blessings be upon your mother and your entire family and may you all walk with His Grace and Love in abundance.

you’re prayers, and in my thoughts (junior prayers, perhaps — they affect things, too).

I’m so sorry to hear this, Dee. May you and your mother both experience the presence of God, and and may he wrap you in His peace like a warm blanket.

dee,

Dee, I’ve been there with parents … I know a bit of what you are going through. I don’t know your preference in gospel music genre, but I think the song at the 1:11:40 mark on the following “One Banner 2023” video might encourage you (my daughter sings in this choir).

Dee – prayers are with you which issue into God’s guidance and our judgment that came out in your push to do the CT scan. May your mother be blessed but bless yourself with self care. I remember living in Raleigh and making pastoral rounds at Duke, and it is quite a drive. May God bless you with strength and wisdom with grace and peace for your mom.

Dee,
in our family has been the tradition of at least one family member staying ‘with’ the hospitalized person twenty-four-seven so I can appreciate you staying all these hours with your mom. It is not easy to do this, but in future you will look back and treasure the time you were there with her and at some level, even asleep, she would have been conscious of your presence with her . . . a blessing.

I would give anything for a few moments with my own loved ones who have passed away, but I treasure the time I did spend with them when we were in hospital. You will need to try to rest now and take care of yourself too. Try to rest in the Good Lord’s peacefulness and He will give you strength now.

may we look forward to our true destiny with satisfaction in our frailness

I thank God for your alertness

And Dee, as you make those decisions, think of this if it helps (only IF it helps!!):

If life is never going to be any better for your mom than it is today, and knowing that no matter how much you love her Jesus loves her even more, it is ok when and IF you make decisions letting her step into eternity with Him.

You can always trust Him to finish what did not get finished on earth in her relationship with Him. He may well be doing that right now and the strokes are only His tools to sort of “shut her into the prayer closet alone with Him” so to speak.

There is no wrong decision, be it move heaven and earth to keep her alive longer or decide to allow nature to take its course.

Hard decisions, praying hard for you. Just don’t keep her on the ugliest part of the desert when she could be dancing with Jesus on Angel Peak. (Remember it? 4 corners area?) And don’t shove her up Angel Peak when she needs to enjoy a few more sunsets either.

I guess all I am saying is that Jesus and your mama are going to decide the time she has left. No matter your decisions.

Go easy on yourself.
