A Couple of Things to Share
If you'd like to hear some of the audio of the monks that visited Judi you can click below to download it (it's about 48 MB). It's really beautiful. If that link doesn't work just let me know.
The other thing I wanted to share was an email I got last night. I have received some tremendous emails, calls and comments---everyone from close friends in real life, friends I know via this blog and people I've never met. They are amazing and honestly----they do help. I must apologize for not replying any longer---I'm just not able to at this moment but there was one I did reply to and that I wanted to share here. I hope it's o.k. with Mary because I was truly touched and heartened by it.
I read your blog today and I was so touched by your message I just had to write you and let you know I understand why you cannot relax. I also know how you feel when you start to panic.....but it is so normal. I'm 86 and was with my Mother, Father and Husband at the end.
You are a strong gal and you are doing all the right things by letting Judi know that it is okay for her to go. They need that release. It is so hard and I know you are not ready. We are never ready to lose our loved ones....our family.
I'm here in Urbana, a retiree of the U of I and want you to know I'm thinking of you, Ernie and your sweet boys, your Mother and Debbie.
You will be fine as you sound like a very courageous gal and loving person.
Mary
