HI everyone!
I'm tiptoeing back in to reality. The last month-month and a half has been a true roller coaster and incrediby difficult for me. My mom was admitted to the hospital on October 18th with shortness of breath and new found afib. She recovered well and went to rehab, where she was rocking her therapy. Two days before we were scheduled to go home, she got sick again and was readmitted to the hospital. We found out a couple of days later that she had Covid. She got a little better and we again planned to go home with some in home therapy. Then she took a turn for the worse. We did finally go home on Wednesday the 12th, but with hospice. She passed away on Saturday Nov 15th. She was 87 and lived a wonderful long life. For the last almost 40 years she's lived with Rheumatoid Arthritis and never had a day without pain. As sad as I am, it gives me comfort to know that she is no longer in pain.
So, that's where I've been. And now I'm finding my way back in to life and a new normal.
I hope everyone is doing well. I'm looking forward to catching up on all the things and being inspired by all your beautiful pages in the gallery again.
 
Welcome back Jan. I’m so sorry about your mom. Big hugs to you and your family.
 
Welcome back. I totally get you on the "new normal" thing, it does take time but I promise it does get easier
 
So sorry, Jan. Glad you've found some comfort. Good to see you again! :love
 
I’m sorry to hear about your mom. Wishing you comfort in the days ahead. ❤️❤️
 
I'm so sorry for all the back and forth but glad that you got to be with her. Sending lots of love.
 
Sorry for your loss.ay you find that you can hold joy and grief at the same time. I hope you will find comfort in the good memories. Praying for you and the family.
 
Welcome back Jan, and big hugs. My sincere condolences to you and your sister and your family. I know your Mom was comforted with you being there for her. The greatest gift was to be there for her when she needed you most. May the wonderful memories you have sustain and comfort you. Big hugs.

My deepest condolences Jan! I know exactly the mixed feeling of grief and the comfort to know that there is no more pain. Sending lots of love!
 
Welcome back dear lady, sending lots of positive thoughts to you and your family. xxx :happyhug
 
I am very sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest condoleances.
Even though she had a long life I am guessing it's always too early. We never have enough time with the people we love.

I hope you can now take care of yourself after such an ordeal. Scrap therapy did me good when I lost my father but take it easy. Only do what is best for you.

Sending you love from afar.
 
Oh Jan, I'm so sorry! I would also take comfort that she is no longer in pain. Many many hugs! Welcome back!
 
Have been thinking of you often, Jan. I know your mother's memory will always be a blessing. Hugs to you and yours from Oregon.
