I hope knowing that she went on her terms gives you some peace. It does. She is 88, almost 89, and she has been in bad health for most of my life, so we are shocked she lasted as long as she did.

Storygirl Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Dawn, I read your update. I hope all of the plans go as smoothly as one could expect and that all of the traveling is arranged without trouble. I'm so glad that your dad is planning to move to be near you when he is able to make it happen. That sounds like a very good plan. I hope you are able to continue to find joy and peace this holiday season, even as you and your family grieve. I'm thankful that you know that she is celebrating with her savior in Heaven, as you celebrate the Nativity here on Earth. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing peacefully at home was wonderful, though, and I’m glad she got that instead of a long and drawn out hospitalization or decline. How is your dad holding up? He is doing ok. He called a few min ago and said he hasn't been able to secure a day/time to have a graveside service. I forgot to ask him about an obituary.

DawnM Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 UGH. Apparently the death certificate wasn't done correctly so they can't ship the body yet. So, I am still in NC waiting. We should know by tomorrow mid day and will know what the burial day will be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Dear Dawn: I am sorry for your loss. It sounds like your Mother died peacefully, in her chair, while your Dad was gone for that short time. I hope that you will take good care of yourself (and your Dad when you are with him) and again, I am sorry for your loss and hope that your Mom did not suffer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 Thanks all. I am up in St. Louis on my way to Iowa tonight. We got a hotel and are decompressing. Tomorrow my dad flies to Iowa and we will pick him up. Two uncles (mom's brothers) and their wives are coming up. Internment Monday. Then we will TRY to get home by Christmas around noon. This Christmas is just going to be different. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 How you react to things is a funny phenomenon. They flew my mother's body from AZ to IA on Friday. My mother was always terrified of flying. She did it anyway, but NEVER would fly alone. Never. It really bothered me that she was sent alone. I know that makes absolutely no sense. She is gone, it is just a body, but it really bothered me. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
