Scrapr ★ Posted March 28, 2021 Share #305 Posted March 28, 2021 Prayers for you & Esther. They say that hearing is the last sense. Don't stop talking. If it's her time to leave then give her permission. If the boys can make it great. John you did everything you could. Rest easy now. Godspeed Esther on your journey <crying> 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jsharr ★ Posted March 28, 2021 Popular Post Share #306 Posted March 28, 2021 John, you and Esther are the embodiement of what love looks like. Your devotion to her during her time of need is incredible and should inspire each of us to do better. Like others have said, it is time to tell Esther that you and your family will be okay and that you will see her again in Heaven. Praying for peace and comfort for Esther and strength and understanding for you. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted March 29, 2021 Share #315 Posted March 29, 2021 The nurse showed me how to give her morphine while she is sleeping. When the morphine wears off to the point she wakes up she is in unbearable pain. I was instructed to keep her medicated until she passes. Our son John is with me now. I’m sad that John missed seeing his mom while she could talk to him. It took so long to get to this point but once it did it went downhill fast. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prayers and thoughts with you--- I am glad she is free from pain and passed knowing she was so very well loved by you, the boys, and the family. We give them back to you, dear Lord, Who gave them to us. Yet as you did not lose them in giving, so we have not lost them by their return. For what is yours is ours always, if we are yours. And life is eternal and love is immortal And death is only a horizon. And a horizon is nothing more than a limit to our sight. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Further Posted March 31, 2021 Popular Post Share #344 Posted March 31, 2021 Yet another thread that I didn't want / know how, to respond to. John I am sorry for your loss, but at the same time I am glad Ester's suffering is over. And that you can concentrate on taking care of you, this has been a tremendous burden on you, you have born it with grace and dignity, Ester could not have had better care. I'm sure you eased her passing as much as humanly possible. You have been and will continue to be in my thoughts. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
