saying goodbye

On September 29, 2009 my sister lost her fight.  Back on August 1, 2009 I made the decision to have my sister start hospice.  At the end she had no pain.  Her body was still functioning but her spirit had already left.  I had to make some tough decisions in a short amount of time but through it all my only goal was to stop my sisters suffering.  She had a very hard life, far more difficult than mine.  For her death offered a new beginning.  No more suffering only peace.  I guess that is why we are called caregivers because we have to be able to care enough to know when to let them go. 

I thank you all so much for listening. God Bless

Barb, I am so sorry, but am glad that hospice was involved and she was in no pain at the end.  May she now rest in peace for all eternity.

Hugs,

BarbL64,

My heart goes out to you, I agree with PG, you cared enough to let her go. My family is going throught something at this time. I think you just gave me the strenght I needed to face things head on. I now know what to say.

Sending you love and hugs, please begin to heal and understand that grief is a process, and you certianly loved her more than you knew. She know's this too.
