Lord Bless you, your Mom, and your family during this difficult time.


Two things bring me to tears. The unconditional Love of God,the service of the United States Military,past,present,and future.

I would rather meet
a slick-sleeve private,
than a hollywood star!

I'm truly sorry but it is something that we must all go through. I remember watching my wife's grandma take her last breath surrounded by family, her pain finally over. I shook my grandpa's hand one last time as he was in the last hours of his life. He couldn't talk but I knew what he would have said.

Tough times. The only advise I can give is let it out. Find someone to talk to. Find a way to celebrate their life and what they meant to you. Remember those good times.



Situation awareness is defined as a continuous extraction of environmental information, integration of this information with previous knowledge to form a coherent mental picture in directing further perception and anticipating future events. Simply put, situational awareness mean knowing what is going on around you.

Censored, your mom, as well as you, are in my thoughts and prayers for peace and comfort through this.

Censored, you are a good person.

My wife tried to make amends with her biological “father” two weeks before he passed. I cannot post the words he used against her here.

Be strong. It hurts sometimes. Setting an example for future generations is important.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I was at my Mom's bedside as she passed. It was hard, but I am glad I was there.

I'm sorry you & your wife are facing this alone. Take comfort in knowing you are fulfilling your mother's wishes and your Sigforum family's support.

Talk to her. I believe she can hear you & knows you are there. Remember the good times with her.

My heartfelt condolences. Sometimes, in the name of love, we have to do terrible things.

Prayers sent. With all you were going through yourself, trying to help your Mom as well had to be especially difficult.

Sad to hear this.

I went through the same thing with my mom when she was just 49.

I was where you are one year ago. It sucks. My mom had the same wishes, but I'm an only child so the decision was less complicated. Prayers for you and your family.

Having also been at my mom's bedside during the lead up to her passing, I understand. I also understand strained family dynamics, for the same reason. You have my prayers.

I am sorry.

I always feel lucky that my Mom died in her sleep with no warning of poor health. While it was a shock, and she was young, I feel that is a very fortunate way to go.

My deepest condolences to you and your Family. I am one of six siblings. My Mom was sick for awhile copd blood ox. Issues. She wanted me to insure that her wishes where carried out. All she wanted was to pass on with dignity. I had some fight with my sister, but in the end Mom got what she wanted. 7 years later same with my Dad. He said John (me) I want you to allow me to also pass on with dignity. In both cases I was able to give them what they wanted. It was with a heavy heart. But my parents knew that the other siblings would have procedures that a few Doctors said they wouldn't do it. Just to prolong the inevitable. I hope that you guy's are able to clear the air and move ahead. Sorry for being so long winded. John
