My mom

Temp108743750006959

I decided to stay tonight.  I know my dad wanted to but I think she needed me to help. I looked up some jewish prayers, washed my hands, and recited them. Then I was crazy hysterical in the hall and when I came back I heard a change in her breathing. It was peaceful and I talked her through it and told her all the people who loved her and not to be afraid. I never looked away. She brought me to this earth. I hope I helped her leave it with some peace.

When she was gone, I felt her with me, wearing white pants and young and sad and happy at the same time. Kissing me with her sometimes-gross wet kisses lol. 

 I am sorry I didn't comment back to each post - thank you for sharing your thoughts and prayers and stories of passing. It meant so much.

May she rest in peace.  I am sorry for your and your family's loss.  

I held my grandfathers hand as he passed, it is a very powerful moment that you, oddly, will cherish forever.
