    She is in the process of dying. Hospice believes that she has a couple days left, but it will not be long. The do not have room for her at the hospice center, but they said she is welcome to stay at the nursing home with no worries. She does not have a roommate in her room right now, so we'll be able to stay around the clock.

    I came home today....but am headed back tomorrow. Hoping someone can relieve me midday tuesday because we have out of town guests coming that would be left in a real lurch if we called them and told them they couldn't stay here.

    There are a lot of details to work out, and I am financial and Medical POA. Please pray for me the next few days.

    They've done what they can to make her comfortable. I hate being 2 hours away.

    Sadly, I'm sortof praying she goes in her sleep this evening. It sounds so selfish I know.
    :(

    Praying for you during this time of saying goodbye and letting go. I was blessed to be with my grandmother when she passed and it will always be so special that I was able to be there with her. I will be thinking about you and praying for you and your family.

    She passed shortly before midnight. She is at peace. She is with my Grandfather, Great Grandmother and Mother. Oh, I hope God was ready for all of them in one place!

    Thank you all for praying. There is much to be done over the next few days. Please pray that I make sound, right decisions and that God gives me peace of mind to do all the right arrangements.

    Thank you.

    Your prayers gave me supernatural strength today. I was able to plan her funeral with the funeral home. And afterwards, I was able to go into the nursing home and pack up all of her belongings. They are now sitting in my van because I forgot to bring the key to the storage unit with me. Oh well.

    Now, I need to find and purchase AND get the outfit she will wear for the viewing. My husband feels that shipping it to the funeral home would be better than a 4 hour round trip drive again in 3 days....so....I may try that!

    Please continue praying. Much to be done.

    I believe I've found her final resting outfit. I'm pretty sure.

    Tomorrow is the funeral, I really hope it all goes smoothly. I planned it all, and did almost all of it by myself. I'm nervous.
