Taps, I will always do my best to remember the good times
Mom and I have a close, unique relationship and we've been through a lot together. I will miss her more than ever. Thank you for your kindness and support.

Spitfire, I'm so sorry that you have to go through this but, there is no other way. You will make it and you will look back and always remember the good things.

Blackcat, I'm so sorry about your dad.
I don't think it is ever easy; knowing it's coming or it happening unexpectedly. Thanks for your comments, my friend.

Avant, I'm definitely trying to see it that way.
I guess I must admit I'm being kinda selfish but I really don't want her to suffer anymore. She just seems like the light inside her has grown so dim. 
Thanks so much for your comments.

wow, this is just so sad.
My father died so suddenly and without warning that I never had a chance to say goodbye... much less anything else. I always thought it would be easier if I had known it was coming, but now reading this, I'm thinking that it's just as hard.
There's really nothing I can say except to hang in there and know that I'm thinking of you.

It helps a lot, Whacky. Truly.
I agree that looking at it as they are no longer suffering is the best way to see it. I don't think I can prepare for the inevidable, but I guess no one really can.

SunnyB, I know.
And just being able to get it off my chest is a help to me and all the support of everyone is an added bonus. Thank you.

It is extremely difficult to say good-bye to a parent, but I'm sure that your inner voice will direct you. I reached a point with my dad that I said, 'Go, go.' I knew he was miserable.

There's not much I can say.
You will do as well as any of us would. Just take it one day at a time and don't expect too much from yourself.

Spitfire,
I wish there were something I could do for you. I know exactly what you mean. When my Great-Grandfather died ten years ago, I thought I'd be okay...I have days when I am and days when I'm not. Still, his suffering is done now and he is at peace. I'm okay with that.
I hope you get to be with your Mom. It's okay to feel however you need to. You've got my prayers...

I know what you are going through. I was with my mom till the end,
but it didn't make it any easier. At least I knew she was no longer suffering. I will always miss her even though I know she lives in my heart. Hope this helps.

Oh sweetheart, I am so sorry about her condition. It sounds like she is
indeed waiting for you. Good that you have the courage to tell her to 'go ahead'....you have my prayers and she does, too.

I'm so sorry to hear that her condition is getting worse.
I am very close to my mother also, like you, I don't know how I would ever be able to deal with it.
I wish I had something more comforting to say. But I know there is just nothing that will make this less painful.
