> Dear Folks,
> I'm posting in on this board rather than Social, since I know more of you here, but if Dr. Bob wants to move it, go ahead. I've just had a terrible shock and need your good thoughts. My 84 year old Mom was struck by a car as she was walking home from the store last Monday and taken to the hospital with a fractured leg, seemed to be doing fine. Just this morning she had a blood clot to her heart and died. It was always hard for me and my brother living on the West coast while she insisted on living back in Pennsylvania, but she was a vibrant, happy, strong little lady in excellent health and to have her taken like this is very hard. I had many premonitions for a few months of this happening, almost waiting and expecting to hear about something, strange how these things happen. I also have been 'visited' in my heart many times by my Guardian Angel over the past few weeks, really and truly, as though saying 'The Light of Spirit is with you, be strong'. I was also in the hospital myself with heart and arm pain the week before, although all turned out OK, but it was as though in preparation for something about to happen.

> I'm doing OK now, I'm a strong and resilient person, although when I get back to her home and have to do the funeral thing and pack up the house(not alone, thankfully. My husband, brother and sister-in-law also), I can't say how well I'll be holding up. So I ask you for your prayers if that is your way, or for lending me some strength whatever way you feel is best. I've come to love you folks and want to all to know. It's the kind of thing that ends up really needing to be shared during times like these. Love to you all, BarbaraCatI have faith you will be OK and will have the strength to do what you need to do. I helped my Mom through all of the funeral things when my Dad died of cancer. My Mom is in her 70's, so I can relate. A 22-year old friend of mine just found out her Dad had terminal liver cancer and she is just now trying to get to know her father (who she had not seen since she was six years old due to a divorce).
God bless
