My condolences. I know you are glad that you were able to see her. You did all the right things.
My condolances too. I never know what to say in times like these except that death is part of life. "Bummer", is probably a good word. You have to deal with it, meaning grieve, and move on. You have memories and you were able to see her one last time.
Thanks to all. The funeral is Monday. The viewing will be in Delaware and then a two hour drive to the burial plot her husbands family has in Virginia. Monday is going to suck. Stamas, she was at the hospital in Berlin up till a week ago. Her 46th birthday was on July 13, the day she left the hospital.
My condolences Robo.I have followed this carefully and I believe you made the right decsison to see her while she was alive instead of waiting. My mother died three days after coming home. My prayers are with you and your family. God Bless.
My sincere condolences Robo I haven't kept up with your thread...it's been hot as a pistol here in Tx but hope everything else will work out for the best for you and your family
My sincere condolences Robo
Glad you went to see her. Sorry to hear she passed on, at least it was at home where she wasn't surrounded by sterile, beeping machines.
Glad you got to she her. My prayers are with you and your family.
I'm sorry for your loss, give my condolences to your parents, one of lifes most terrible events is when parents lose a child.
I am very sorry. I have not even seen this thread till now. I wish, damn I suck at this ****. But my thoughts are with you and Hope the good times memories survive all else.
Sorry to hear Robo. I am 'glad' that you were able to see her before it was too late.
I'm glad she was able to go home to die. A quick passing can be a real blessing, for both the person and their family. You could also look at it as a final (and appropriate) gift from your sister to the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and your Mom & Dad.
Sorry to hear about your sister Robin, you'll be in my prayers.
Robo My condolences on the passing of your sister.
Just want to thank all who posted on this thread. Your posts played a major role in my getting down to see my sister while she was still in the hospital and not procrastinating till she went home. My sister died last night in her home. This is much sooner then was expected, but I believe a blessing. She could never had done anything she wanted to do before passing on, so it must have been terrible to be alive without being able to live. Thanks again. Without the urging of you guys, I may not have seen my sister again before she passed on.
Good, I can get that book; thanks. The webcam won't work because I don't have a clue as to how to do it, but it has given me some ideas of videotaping my sister for him. I guess I can look up how to do that web cam thing.
Robo, Is there any way you could rig up a webcam so your Dad could at least SEE your sister once more? I would hope the hospital would have a broadband connection available for such a use, and you could use a laptop & maybe cable internet connection at your Dad's...or take him somewhere nearby that has it. Meanness can be really hard to take. It's ironic that you need to become closer to your family, while at the same time protecting yourself from them... I always have to remind myself that I can't control other peoples' behavior, however much I'd like to, LOL! I also think there's a huge difference between being selfish and asking for help. Frankly, asking for help is harder because you've admitted there's something you can't handle. It simply never occurs to selfish people that there's something they can't handle, and they handle THAT by pulling others into their little dramas. Thank YOU for the opportunity to have a meaningful conversation about life, death and dying.

Really; this thread is a very self centered thread about you guys helping me, so don't take on my grief enough to make you sad. Even while my sister is the one dying, this thread is all about me
The prayers are very welcomed. I didn't even know that my sister was a person of faith, but she constantly states that God mush need her more then we do right now. That is the only comforting thing for me. Knowing my sister believes in her spiritual nature makes it easier to watch her pass on.
Man...Im bummed out. Hang in there dude!
