Joyfilled Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 ....unexpectedly went Home to be with her Savior. She had a heart attack early last week, and was able to get to a hospital. They ran a few tests, discovered 3 of her arteries were clogged, and needed open heart surgery. It was scheduled for last Friday. Dad and I were with her right before the surgery, prayed with her, kissed her goodbye and went to the waiting area. We were full of hope that she was going to be feeling so much better when she came out (other than the surgery itself). They said they got her on the table and her heart slowed down, then just stopped. They were able to bring her heart back, but not enough. Half an hour later, doctor recommended they stop, as she would be a vegetable from lack of oxygen. Dad agreed. This also happened to be my Dad's birthday. She was one of my best friends, she was my confidant, my partner in mischief and my prayer warrior. She helped me so much and encouraged me in my life. She was a powerful prayer warrior and was sold out for Christ. I'm thankful beyond words for the influence she had in my life and my family. And I miss her, so very much. <3 8 Quote Link to comment

Joyfilled Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 Thank you, everyone....my family and I appreciate your love and prayers. I'm still so very sad. My sister from Mexico is here, the other one (and hubby) and the rest of my family from Mexico arrive early next week. It's going to be a FULL house (7 of us and 9 of them). I pray this is a special time, where we can lean on each other, but especially on Christ. Thank you all again.... 3 Quote Link to comment
dogmom4 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I’m so sorry Joyfilled. My mom passed on October 24 after being on hospice for several weeks. Doesn’t matter if it happens quickly or over a long period of time...it’s just incredibly hard to say goodbye. 1 1 5 Quote Link to comment

Oh, I'm so sorry, Dogmom!! So hard.... God is so good and gives us comfort, but while on earth, pain is still a difficult process. Big hugs as you navigate during this time! 2 Quote Link to comment
