Good-bye

This is from 2 years ago. No new pics because this is how I want to remember her.
We are with my amazing mother-in-law these last few days because these are her last few days. She is coherent but knows that this "good-bye" will be our last good-bye here on earth. How do we do this today?
God be with us.

    You don't say good-bye. Say see you again and enjoy your next journey. That's what I said to my husband. I refused to say good-bye. As long as she knows she is loved that's the important thing. Such a hard time. My heart goes out to you and your family.

    My heart goes out to you. What a heartbreaking time. I wouldn't say good-bye in the final sense but I know what you mean. Hugs!

    I am so sorry. We went through this two months ago with my FIL and it is so hard. My prayers will be with your family.

    Brenda,

    As a hospice nurse, I am in contact with families just like yours all the time. Grab these last days and hours - talk to her, tell her how much you love her and will miss her. Hearing is believed to be the last sense to go, so even if she is in a coma, keep talking.

    My heart is with each of you,

    Namaste..........cj
