She just feels the love, without considering the source. I will be availing myself of their counseling services for sure. <br />a/bAshleigh Burroughshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790757220725900941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-58780384328789788302013-11-30T09:07:10.676-07:002013-11-30T09:07:10.676-07:00Glad to hear from you thormoo....I think of you as...Glad to hear from you thormoo....I think of you as I write these, hopeful that some of my experiences can be of use in other lives. So glad to hear that this is more than whining in public :)<br /><br />I like transitioning more than fading but not as much as I'd like "feeling just fine today, thank you for asking!"

We then gave the rest to Good Will. On mattresses my suggestion would be Craigslist which gives a place to contact with those who need something and those who have it. We use it regularly for our sales of livestock and just got a 6 month old kitten after we lost our beloved 4 year old. It's free and costs you nothing if you don't get someone interested.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-46226235897979498692013-11-26T08:57:19.048-07:002013-11-26T08:57:19.048-07:00I am sending hugs.

I have us...Hospice is the most wonderful invention. I have used Hospice of the Valley for all my relatives, my only regret has been, not calling them sooner. Hospice helped in so many ways, but the emotional support for the family members remaining behind, was by far the best. I have even attended one of their support groups, Daughters without Mothers. It was extremly helpful when I was depressed after the loss of my mother and mother in law. I am so glad you stood up for your mom and called the Hospice you wanted. You will NEVER regret contacting them.

AB...Reading this has left me a mess of fears, tears and then a nod, a chuckle & knowing half-smile. I've written you before explaining how your experiencing is foreshadowing my own experience here in Michigan with my Mother & Father. Dad is much close to what you've described but I've noticed that Mum seems to be making a real effort lately to catch up to him.<br /><br />I cannot express how grateful I am for your continued openness and honesty as you live through and report on The TRANSITIONING. Ach, how I loathe the "terminology of the moment" turning a real life heartbreak into a soothing sounding walk in the freaking park somewhere."Oh my, I think I shall transition from this park bench to the gazebo by the Lilly Pond...Oh yes, how lovely"<br /><br />It really isn't quite like that is it now?!<br /><br />Anyway, thanks a bunch once more for sharing this difficult journey with us...I certainly appreciate it.thormoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123682411248034307noreply@blogger.com
