Mom died on June 4th about 6:20am. I spent June 1st though the 4th in her room day and night (only going to the hotel to shower each day and buy a local dinner to eat in the room). I spent my time in the room holding her hand (though she was unresponsive for her last 3 days), playing songs she loved and singing to her and watching tv with her and praying the Rosary with her (assuming she could hear me and was praying with me in her mind). I wanted to be there at the time and holding her hand. She should have died on the evening/night of the 3rd/4th, but just held on. It was awful. I was so sleep deprived by then (72 hours), I was seeing things, sounded drunk and such. About 5am I kissed her and told her I HAD to go and get a little sleep. I had been telling her every day I was going to be with her at the end holding her hand. I then told her that if she was hanging on to not leave while I was there, she had 3 hours before I returned after a little sleep. I left, got to the hotel, showered and climbed into bed and I get the call that she passed. I was so upset. It has been a rough couple weeks and I want to thank everyone who prayed in this thread. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
