People ask how we are and honestly I dont know how we are we are numb. I hate being numb it implies we dont feel anything but its like we are in a bad dream and are trying to wake up and then we realize we are awake.
Talking to my mom today I was explaining this to her and she said well you did pray that she would go yes mom I did thank you for that reminder. I am sure she didnt mean it the way it came out on the other hand I dont know.
Us girls went and picked out her outfit and took it to the funeral home no one should have to do this on Mothers day.
I struggle to find acceptance in this yet I know she is in a better place singing with the angels out of a body that was sick she has peace I hope peace comes here.
I dont know how not to cry over this. I dont know how my father in law is going to be.
I am thankful and beg anyone who is reading this to have a living will to be sure your family knows your wishes it made Mike and his brothers and Dads decision easy.
I am going to put a thank you card in her casket she taught me how to be a daughter in law, wife, mother, a better person for that I owe her my thanks.
I am glad this last week we were able to spend it with her making sure she was kept comfortable. I am glad that my children got to experience compassion and that she died with dignity .
The next couple days will be hard but some how someway the pain and numbness will be replaced with happiness and calmness. Pray that comes soon.

Numbness is kind at this time. To be otherwise would be miserable. You may not cry for a long while. When my parents died I didn't really cry for several months, and with my husband it was about 3 months before I really let tears come. It's alright, you'll do it when you need to, when it is best for you.
