......And then She was gone..... I got the call this morning at quarter after twelve, noon. "you better come to the hospital as soon as you can. your mother is in grave condition". I gathered up the , loaded them into the van and off we went. Its an hour drive to Ross Memorial Hospital in Lindsay, from my house. We arrived at the hospital a little past one thirty. I nervously went to the intensive care unit with the in tow. My mother died at about one o'clock today, Saturday November 3. I don't know what to feel. I never had a close relationship with her. She had a horrific childhood. Given up at birth, she was floated around from foster home to foster home, enduring every type of abuse you could imagine. Finally at the age of eight, she was adopted by a wealthy family in Toronto. Too late, the damage was done. My mother never quite got over the scars that filled her developmental years. To add to her misery, she married my father, a cold hearted, selfish, emotionally void brute of a man. After thirty two years of marriage, cooking, cleaning, doing his laundry, raising his , and putting up with his spiritual starvation, he went and divorced her. My mother spent the next few years lonely, until today. I never thought I would cry when this inevitable day would come. I did. I still don't know what to feel. My dysfunctional sisters and gay brother are already behaving like a flock of vultures, dying to get their hands on her "stuff" and see what they can get. Personally, I don't want anything. That poor lady suffered her whole life and nobody ever took the time to really get to know her. Since Becky (four and a half years old) was born, I made my peace with my mother. Three or four times a year, we'd make the two hour journey up to her house with goodies and KFC to have a visit with her. As Ashley (three and a half) and Michael (twentyeight months) were born, it was always a special trip to see "Grandma Elisebeth". I know Becky will have many memories of her and I hope Ashley will too. I'm sorry that Michael probably won't remember. Of course we were half an hour too late to say our goodbyes while she was alive, gasping for her last breath. The ICU staff was kind enough to keep her there until I arrived, knowing that I was on my way. aren't allowed to visit the ICU but the nurses let us come in and spend our last time ever with my mom. We all held her hand and prayed for her. We thanked God for the special time He let us have with Grandma and prayed that He'd hold her in His arms and forgive her for her sins. We all said our goodbyes and told her we loved her. She's gone. I hope one day I'll see her again. I hope my will always remember her. All they ever experienced with her were good times. I'm grateful to God for that. My have never seen my cry before. They never even asked why I was crying. Of course they're too young to understand. I just told them that Grandma went to be with Jesus, God, and the Angels and that we were saying goodbye to her. They seemed to understand that. I am so depressed right now I don't know what to think. She's Gone. But She Won't Be Forgotten!

I am very sorry to hear that. But your words convey much love and understanding. I'm sure she felt it, even if u feel u didnt express it frequently enough. Show your kids pictures and tell stories. My kids love that. Know that whatever feeling you have is normal. Talk to people, cry, sleep, rest, then talk some more. That helps. You have many friends here. They'll help you get through this tough time. I will pray for her soul and for u and your family. They say God calls those people who have accomplished thier job here on earth. That she did. May God be with you.

Hey Jeff, I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. I'm heartened to hear that your kids got to see her before she left -- hopefully they can remember her. When my mom was dying, I took my 6 month old son accross the Pacific to see her for the first time ...but by the time we got there, she was already in a coma and didn't really get to see my son. Anyway, condolences to you and your family.
