Comments On Article: I Have Missed All Of You November Update

Hi Donna,

 You and Charles have been through so much lately. I am so sorry to hear about Madges passing and the struggles you endured trying to get her the care she needed. I remember my sister having the hardest time getting doctors to listen to her about her husband when he was still here and many times it was a threat to his life also. It's upsetting to see another person having to go through this while trying to get care for a loved one. Hopefully more doctors will learn to listen to their patients!  I do hope you and Charles are doing a little better since your post and are able to get some much needed rest. Updating us and answering emails were understandably the last thing you needed to be worrying about while trying to care for a struggling loved one but it is so very good to hear from you. I do pray that God gives you peace and restores your strengths and spirits as the days go by. God bless you both!

Dear G.Donna,

I'm so sorry about your loss.She is truly fortunate to have a daughter in law like you to take care of her when it is needed. But I was so happy to see a new post from you..take care and god bless you and grandpa Charles. 

Dear Donna,

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Charles' mother, Madge.  I lost both my sister and stepmother last year.   I am praying for you both during this difficult time.  I pray also for your own health issues. As others have said, I hope you can be easy on yourself as much as you can, and I hope you can get some much needed rest. 

The unconditional love you and your husband showed Madge is a shining example to all of us.  Your posts are always an inspiration to me to be a better person.  May God bless you.

So sorry for your loss. I will always be thankful for the time I had to care for Mom during her last few weeks (thanks to the Family Medical Emergency Leave Act).  When she could no longer stay alone, one family member recommended a nursing facility, but I knew that was one of Mom’s biggest fears. Hospice truly was a blessing and helped so much.  Just a few months later, I learned my repeated stomach issues were caused by pancreatitis and gall stones.  As much as I missed her presence, I was glad she didn’t have to be there to worry about me. 

Your words have deeply moved me. As I read your heartfelt story, I had initially thought that Madge was your neighbor, and not your husband's mother. I am truly sorry for your loss, and my heart goes out to you. 

I am so sorry for your loss.  

I am sure that Madge felt love and care even though it may not have seemed that way.  You are a wonderful person to give her that care.

We are so sorry for your loss. Madge seemed like she was wonderful. I know I'm very late responding back to this post, but I hope you are both able to get some rest and to be taking it all one day at a time. Much love and Merry Christmas!

I’ve been reading posts from the most recent working backwards so I’m late giving my condolences for which I apologise. My parents are in their 70’s now and I am dreading the day they are no longer around. They’re both in good health still so I hope they will be around for many years still. 
((((hugs)))) to you both.
