With a Heavy Heart

I am not writing this for pity or for WA rank points but just as a means to vent. I have been planning to move to warmer climate and got a move date set with help and everything scheduled. Everything appeared to be ok. As I was preparing to tell my family, my mother goes into the hospital. She was discharged into hospice care. Trying to get her the care she needs, my father goes into the hospital and Dr. has an end of life chat with him.

I am now 1 week from the move date and both parents, on 2 different sea boards, are seemingly on their death beds. I have people in place and equipment rented for the move and I feel like a bad son leaving when all of this is happening. I can not, not go but I feel that I will not ever see my mother again, at least not alive. I do not think that I can get to see my dd on the west coast because of my physical condition. I find myself sighing a lot but trying to stay on course.

Is this like us in WA when we need to sacrifice the money for dues with bills mounting, believing that we are doing the right thing for our selves and families. My normal post would be checked by a couple of software checkers but I just needed to vent, whether anyone reads it or not. So, thank you for taking the time to read this post. I plan to take this time to strengthen my convictions and I hope that you have the same commitment to your goals.

God bless you all.

Bruce

Hello so the moving time has come and gone and I for one am interested in how you are doing. There were prayers sent up for you and your family. How are your parents doing? No, this not being nosy it is out of concern for a fellow WA member.

Thanks, I do appreciate your concern. The move is done and that part is going well. My mother passed away the very minute that we were on the train heading out of state. I do appreciate the prayers.
My father was on a roller coaster experience. The blood transfusions tat he was getting to bring his hemoglobin up is now no longer helping and hospice is called in. Very tough to deal with. "Sigh"

Praying for wisdom for you as you deal with these difficult issues.

Thank you

I am praying that you find the strength. You are but one person. Sometimes it seems the load is just too much to bear. You have to think about you. You did not make these plans knowing what the situation is going to be. Sometimes, whatever we do seems to be the wrong decision. Really there are no wrong answers. You do what is right for you. Parents know. It is not just what you do at the very end but what you have shown throughout their time. God knows.I will keep you in my prayers. Nothing is over until God says it is over. Peace be with you.

Thank you for those kind and encouraging words. I do appreciate the prayers.

I feel for you Bruce. God's love be with your family. It's healthy to rant and vent. Don't worry about the takedown police. I think they'll leave your post alone!

Thanks Mike.

I will pray for you and your parents in this difficult time. No one has all the answers except for God. God has given you the strength and conviction and the knowledge to make the difficult decisions. Seek refuge in him.

Thank you and you are correct. I would not survive if it weren't for my faith in God.
