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.

I wondered where you had been as I noticed the lack of your presence. So sorry for the reason you were away. I know this loss must be a bit bittersweet since she lived with pain, but also it leaves a hole in your heart. I'm glad you could be there for her. more hugs.
 
Oh Jan, I'm so sorry for everything you've been through. Losing your mom is one of the hardest things in life. Sending you hugs, and welcome back!
 
Big, big hugs Jan! Thinking of you and your family. Hopefully a little scrap therapy will bring you some peace :heartlub
 
My condolences on your Mom's passing. I'm glad you can take some comfort in knowing she's no longer in pain. :grouphug
 
Hugs. I can imagine how difficult this has all been. I felt very untethered when my mom passed, in a similar situation to yours, health problems and things were looking up until they weren't and then she passed unexpectedly. Remember her with a smile and yes, it is good to think of her as no longer being in pain.
 
Oh, Jan @IntenseMagic I am so very sorry for your loss. I'm sorry you and your mom had to go through all of that. It's so hard to see a loved one suffer. Sending you big hugs and prayers.
 
What a challenging time you've had! I know you will miss your mom so much. Sending hugs from Missouri.
 
Thanks for the update, Jan. Losing a parent is hard. I am so sorry...
 
Jan - again I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom... truly a big transition, especially when it comes out of no where!
 
Welcome back, Jan! Sorry for the loss of your mom. I’m glad you were able to spend time with her before she passed. Sending big hugs and lots of prayers for peace and comfort to you and your family. :heartlub
