He went down to LA to help his mom after open heart surgery. She got home yesterday and he was there...she passed away just hours after being home from the hospital.

She was one force to be reckoned with, a little ol' southern belle loaded for bear and we will all miss her terribly.

DH needs prayers as I can't be with him and although he knows she is with her dear husband, who passed 3 years ago, he is still missing his mom something terrible.

Many thanks to all who will lift him and his family down there up in his hour of need.

Have prayed. Buried my mom 18 months ago, so can relate. Tell him, if applicable, that knowing she wasn't suffering anymore, was very helpful for me to know. Also, like me, it sounds like he was able to have that final conversation with her that I am so grateful that I was able to have. I still miss her, but those 2 things helped me.

So sorry! Praying for your husband...I'm sure his mom's passing was a terrible shock for him.

Yes, he thought that also. How many of us have had that opportunity with our elderly parents? He was there the day before his dad passed and now, he was there the day before his mom passed. Although he is hurting, he is still thanking the good Lord to have had that opportunity with both parents. Being human, my heart is breaking for him and his sister but God had a better plan for both Nell and Ed...she missed Ed somethig awful and after 70 years of marriage, they're doing their happy dance together in heaven.

and they aren't hobbling around doing it anymore - they are young again.

Always trying to look on the bright side - your DH was fortunate to see her once last time.

Of course, frazbo. Am adding all of you to my morning prayer time. 70 years of marriage is sure a blessing from God, as is him getting to have conversations with both of them before the Angels took them Home.

I am thanking God for all of your families lives, and asking the Holy Spirit to be with him to give him comfort, strength, peace, guidance and knowledge at this time of his mother beginning the greatest part of her life.

Your dear husband has my prayers as well as you, and the whole family. I know how it can be due to my dear mother passing suddenly in 2012, and then last year my dear father. I miss them so much. At least I had time with my dad, but with mom it was sudden, and I just wish I could have seen her one more time.

Hugs,
Susan

I will be sending prayers up for your DH, his sister and for you, too.

I agree with Susan. I was with my dad the day he died, but he died so suddenly that none of us got to say goodbye. It was like he was there laughing and talking one minute and gone the next. But I and my family did spend part of his last day with him.

With my mom, though, she denied all of her kids the chance to be with her for the last several weeks of her life. She wasn't feeling good and didn't want us to see her, and none of us knew she was that bad. When we asked to come over, she just kept saying she wasn't up to having company. So we respected her wishes. And then - in a blink of an eye - she was gone. We might have talked to her by phone, but it wasn't the same.

I'm glad your DH had the chance to be with both of his parents before they died. Tell him to hang on to those memories! And tell your DH that his parents are now together, with God, dancing and singing and full of eternal life!

Oh, Frazbo! I am so sorry to hear this. As has been said, losing your mama is just so terribly hard, no matter how old we are. I'll be praying for you all.

My deepest condolences and prayers to you and your husband!

I'm still missing my mom and my mother inlaw Junebug deeply.

Just yesterday as I walked by June's favorite rolltop desk in our garage, I was thinking that this will be our second Christmas without her.

I felt her presence with me and I said out loud as if she were standing there with me, "I miss you so much June, I wish all of your stuff that we have here was back at the house (in Lebanon, Tn.) and you were still alive. I was hoping to at least see you live to at least 105. V

Losing one or both parents is so hard! BTDT. After 18 years, I still think of them every day.

What I hang on to is that this is just a temporary goodbye. Soon we will be together with our loved ones and Jesus and this will be a distant memory.
