    Thinking of you INOD at such a tough time. Sometimes the waiting is the hardest bit of all. I wish your sister as much peace as can be possible given the circumstances.

    Do look after yourself too. Or allow your DH to do that for you.

  • Well, she died half tenish Thursday evening. Thanks to a wonderful ward sister, we were there against the advice from the consultant who said she could possibly still be there to Tuesday and that we should go home. The sister called it within two hours of time of death.

    Since then, I have consecutively wished each one of my family members to be on another planet. Removal to church on Sunday and funeral on Monday. Fingers crossed my tongue stays bitten until then
