OT: My MIL passed away last night

Jul 12, 2009 8 Replies

Hello everyone. It's been awhile since I posted an update on my mother in law's health, and well, it has been steadily declining since she had her stroke. I am sad to report that she passed away last night. No definite funeral arrangements as of yet, but I expect it will be Tues or Wed. She will be buried with her husband at the VA cemetery, and services will be held there also. DH is just feeling numb and is pacing looking for things to do. I feel so bad for him as now both of his parents are gone. Both of my boys are really sad, naturally. His daughter will be arriving here this evening from Knoxville, TN So I have much to prepare for, so I better get busy. Please keep my husbands' family in your prayers. Thank you!

Oh Linda, I am sorry to hear this. Losing a parent and grandparent is hard (as is losing anyone close to you). Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Sandy

Big Hugs going to you & your family. My dad has been gone 7 years and it's just as hard today as it was then. I will be think of you.

We also had a death in the family, my children's great-grandmother in India who was 94 years old--we got the call at 5:30 am Saturday morning that she had just died--the day we had the twins' first birthday party! :*(

My MIL (it was her mother) and FIL were pretty upset, since they hadn't had a chance to see her in person before they left India (she was with other relatives in another city and told them not to come, she was fine)--of course now they are kicking themselves because they didn't go, but what's done is done. They put on their brave faces for the party and did pretty good, considering.

Prayers going up for everyone affected by these deaths in our families.
