My friends
I 'm back from Paris. The doctor that I had on the phone was a little misled about the diagnosis, but the result is the same, maybe worse ....
The brains of my mom died more than 40%. We have no decision to take my brother and me ... It is the medical team decide what action, namely no therapeutic. she's currently in coma and physicians make sleep. if it were out of the coma, she would be in a vegetative state, or totally disabled (members, lyrics, etc.) with knowledge of his condition, therefore the total horror. The doctors want to slowly let go but I do not know how. I need to remind the doctor to know the details, I am a bit lost...
I spend a good part of my day to cry .... hoping it does not suffer. His companion is totally collapsed .... It is a very difficult period for us. What is good (for me) is that I could see it, touch it, tell him I love him .... even if it was not aware. With that and the doctor's explanations, I can start doing my grief : one way or another, the outcome is fatal
Thank you for all your prayers

Sylvie, I am so sorry! I know this feeling, my husband Richard died like this. Just cry, and know that we are here and praying for you. Even in a coma, they say that people are aware, the hearing is the last to go, your mother knew you were there, and that you love her. I wish I could be there to hug you, Sylvie, really truly I do. This is a hard thing to do through. My prayers are with you, Marji

Oh my Sissi, I so wish there were more that could be done. I know your heart is aching and that no matter what we can say, it will not make it better. Please know that many prayers are being lifted up in your and your Mom's name. Give her a hug for all of us and a special one for you. Prayers and many of God's Blessings, Libbie

Sylvie, I do know how hard this is for you. It has been a long time time since my Mom passed away and she really suffered the last year she was with us. Her Dr. was her long-time Dr. and distant kin so when it came to making the decision as to what to do, I left it up to him. He knew more about what was going on than I did and I had watched her suffer for a very long time. She was only 67 but could only make it on life support. That was 23 yrs ago this month. I'll keep you and your Mom in my prayers. Be kind to yourself! Remember that you would not want to be there suffering and remember that she will be going to a much better place to spend eternity and you will see her again someday. This is not your decision to make. It is the Lords. Try to remember to be happy for the wonderful years that you have had together. My heart breaks for you and I will keep you and your Mom in my prayers! If you need to talk to someone, P.M. me and I will be glad to talk to you about this. Hugs and prayers, Linda

c'est effectivement un moment difficile à passer, aussi je te souhaite beaucoup de courage à toi et sans oublier ta maman! surtout en ce moment d'anniversaire pour toi; C'est dur et les prières sont souvent aidantes, celles de tes amies sont sincères et comme dit le "qoheleth" dans la bible, il y a un temps pour tout malheureusement et heureusement en même temps,le temps de pleurer et le temps de rire qui revient bien longtemps après.Bon courage à toi et à ta famille; amitiés d'une compatriote qui s'exprime tellement mal en anglais..........

Sissi my heart bleeds for you. We also had to make that desition about my mother in law, who was like a mother to me, and we told them to let God do what He thought best. She was in pain, and did not even know us anymore. It was such a relief to know that she had no more pain, even though after 9 years I still miss her terribly. I will pray for you, and know that God will fetch her in His time. He will not let us suffer more than needed. Wishing you strength for the time ahead. Huggs and God bless you.

Hi Sissi,
My heart aches for you. I pray that you and your brother will be able to get through this.
I still have my parents - although Dad has Alzheimer's Disease and is progressively getting worse day by day. So I have this to face in the future too.
I can only uphold you in God's love and know that He will take her to his home when the time comes.
Crying is good for you - it releases toxins and allows us to heal.
Love and blessings Chris

I called the doctor this morning he will do an MRI tomorrow afternoon. Brain damage has progressed. Doctors meet Thursday morning and they will certainly take the decision to stop using drugs, and the ventilator so that she can go in peace.
I think it's best for her, she could reach the house of the Lord and perhaps find my dad ???... I hope so !

Sissi, aneurysms are in my family, my dad passed away with only 55 years old. He was and still is my hero! My younger sister had her aneurysms ruptured 5 years ago, and have had many surgeries. The doctors saved her life, but she is completely dependent now, a very active girl in a wheel chair, having someone to feed and take care of her is something very sad to see.
We have to accept the Lord's will, there are always good lessons to learn from it. My prayers and thoughts for your mother and your family. Love, Yoriko

Yes, his fate is in the hands of the Lord. I agree ... but it's hard ! it's a bad cap to move ... knowing that it is best for her now. Thanks Yoriko
She'll find your Dad, Sylvie, and her own parents, and all she's ever loved. And she'll be waiting for you when the time comes. It's all we can hold on to. They wouldn't call it Heaven otherwise. Love to you, my friend. Marji

My prayers will be with you and your family. Love to you also, and I am sorry you are so far away from your Mother. God sometimes takes those we love, but has a better place for them; I believe that there is no pain or sorrow in heaven.
Love,
