Looks like word got out about Mom...

Thanks for all your well wishes and condolences.
I took leave from work and had planned to go the distance with her. I drove 680 miles to see Mom on the 6th (made it in 9.5 hours). She was a little confused due to a small drop in her O2 levels but seemed OK other than just really tired. Thursday she had her first round of chemo.
The process took 8 hours. We got home, talked a little bit, and she went to bed about 5:30 PM.
Thursday was a much better day. I had O2 sent to the house she really perked up. We had another doctor's visit to rule out blood clots (her feet were really swollen). No clots found. She even had enough energy that day to let me take her out to eat.
I tucked her in bed at around 6 PM and stayed with her until around midnight. She was in no pain and said she was fine.
Saturday I woke up around 7 in the morning and stayed in my room so as not to wake her but at about 8 AM I realized that I hadn't even heard her cough. I called out to her. When she didn't answer I knew immediately why...
She had died about an hour earlier. She had both her feet off the bed and her glasses in her hand.
She woke up simply to fall asleep...in peace.
Regards and thanks to you all.

Two things about your trip that are important, in my eyes.
One, that you had good time with your mom before she passed,
which I'm sure she was happy with and very proud of.
Two, that she passed away peacefully.
Now she's in a place of tranquility and serenity,
a place that I can only pray I make it too on my passing onward.
Bless you itsjustme for making the trip to be with her.
That speaks volumes about the man you are

May I offer you my deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother. I am so glad you were able to spend some time with her at the end. I know this meant the world to her. She was able to pass peacefully knowing that she had seen you.

I lost my mom one week ago today to cancer. I'm with you my brother. The next week is going to be painful, stay strong. I'm right there with you, my prayers to you and your family.

Peace to you my brother.

Wow, that's sad, but the best thing is that you were there, and got to be with her, that...I'm sure meant EVERYTHING to her. We all die, I hope she had a great life!
