One of our own

[Jo6]

has passed on through the Mist. Jennifer/ Rumpled, MIL passed a day or so ago. I haven't been here too much lately and I totally missed this. I am sorry Jennifer.

Jennifer, we are thinking of you and also sending prayers your way. As Joy said, I hope you will come back, but we understand if you aren't ready yet. Just know we care about you, your hubby and also your FIL.

I will light a special candle for your MIL.

You take care of yourself, my love, Jo

Thank you... we just got through the services and now are taking care of getting the bed, chair etc. returned. Even though the FIL fought like heck not to have them in the apt. now he is sad to see them leave.
She did not get the services she wanted which upset us. FIL insisted that she have the viewing that she did not want. So we put her in sneakers so she can kick his butt when he gets on the other side. She is being cremated, which is according to her wishes. We asked for donations in lieu of flowers for the Alzheimers Association - which is good for both other people and that flowers get tossed. He complained not enough flowers. He then complained she had too much rouge. He did nothing but complain. He wanted everyone to mourn him, come to him and yet he dissed people really bad. I hope she does kick his butt on the other side. I wanted to kick it on this side. We only had short time (4 hours) to do all the arrangements due to him not wanting to plan ahead and my husband procrastinating. It was lovely according to everyone else.
Now she is in peace. She can see, she can walk. Her mind is back and all is well.

Jennifer, I am so sorry that you have had to experience all this emotional turmoil in the midst of the Christmas season. It is difficult and weary-ing no matter what time of year that it occurs, but now just seems unfair. At least your MIL is at peace and no longer has to endure her daily challenges.

In time, perhaps your FIL will be able to deal with all the conflicts and problems he had in dealing with the reality of her condition. Let's hope that at least your husband has learned something and that will help when he has to deal with his Dad. Shalom.

Thank you.
