My heart and sympathies go out to you during this difficult time.
Be well my friend and know her mind is no longer suffering.

Thank you SD. Life continues, the Ebb and flow since she died Jan 5,, the day after my birthday...

I'm not to that quiet acceptance place that some tell me will come. Even though we had separated many years ago, hadn't seen each other, a new found friendship developed over the last year or so. Being her caretaker for that year was something I never, ever could have imagined. I know that Peggie's suffering has ended. I know she wanted to die. She told me so after rushing her to the hospital in Sept a year ago. I know she was ready to die. It has been a journey since finding her suffering from COPD, watching the oxygen loss and mental dementia that ended in Alzheimer's.

Taking her to Oregon this July, we had a two days to talk in the car, and we laughed and cried, remembering the crazy things a family goes through. We lamented about raising Leia, the grandaughter as our own, and how Kristal , the youngest stepped up and insisted Peggie come to Oregon and live out her days with her and the great grandkids.

Peg died peacefully, I am told, and was cremated. Kristal took care of it all. then, called me yesterday, she said her Mom, Peg's 2nd wanted her ashes...Peg left me in charge, according to her wil. l. So, the family dynamics begin, and we will all meet in Feb. at a Memorial for Peg at Kristal's, and celebrate her LIFE>

I just received a copy of the death certificate and am at a loss for words. So keep those prayers coming and those candles lit, because, my journey continues. I guess the ashes spilt 5 ways is something Peg never talked about.
