When the time came close for her to pass away, the hospice doctor was helping me get through it. I was a basket case and couldn’t get through more than a half hour without breaking down. My husband said I was even crying in my sleep. This wonderful doctor explained to me what was happening to my mom. She began talking to angels and most of the time, she didn’t even know when we were there. He told me to tell her it was OK for her to go and to ask her to watch over me and help me. He said that our loved ones want to know that we want their help. He also said that I needed to go home at night because many times our loved ones do not want us to see them when they go.
I sat beside mom’s bed and talked to her. I told her all I wanted was for her to be happy and even though I would miss her terribly, it was OK for her to go. I also said that when she was talking to the angels to please ask them to help me get through this. I can’t explain this, but immediately I felt a tremendous feeling of peace. I went through the next couple of days sad but calm.
The third morning I got ready to go to the hospice and as I stepped on the porch I saw that mom’s rose bush was in full bloom. I knew God was telling me it was time and he was with me. Just at that moment the hospice called and told me mom was gone.
I know many people will think this is crazy, but at that moment I knew I had experienced a miracle and God was with me and my mom. Next month will be two years and even though I still miss her terribly I have memories that my brothers, my children and my husband and I share and we have really been laughing a lot!!!
