HOW DO YOU LOSE A SIBLING GRACEFULLY?
RUSTY'S online at his 61 yo sister's apt. writing this. Two weeks ago she was told, "Actually, with acute leukemia we have no way to treat it. We admire your decision to avoid all the chemo and hospital time, some people actually live longer than those who are afraid to die. It's refreshing to find someone who believes in a better afterlife.
Just go home and call Hospice and good luck." 6 comments from 6 users

THANKS for all your kind words. We have shared stories about old and fun times. I don't think the full impact has really hit me yet. Our prayers are for the Lord to be merciful to her. she's tired and ready to go. They increased the strength of her pain meds today. Now she's so limp they can't get her out of the floor from her last fall. the Hospice nurse said to cover her up and leave her right where she is. If she's not in bed she can't fall out of it again. Her one daughter came up from Louisiana and has been with her nearly around the clock for several days. She's about exhausted herself. My part of her eulopgy is done so the Blue Goose is headed back to Hobbs, NM unless something happens before about 11:00 am today (Friday). posted by

Rusty- I know I haven't really said hey lately but I am very sorry for you about your sister. I can understand your pain to a degree. My brother passed away of leukemia when he was 9 and I was only 5 and didn't understand. I hope you'll be okay just know your always in our thoughts and prayers. Much Love and keep your chin up.

Rusty are in my thoughts as well. I am sorry to hear of your sister's illness. That you are with her and there for her, I am sure is very reassuring and comforting for her. Do what you do best. Make her days bright by telling her your stories, and listening to hers.

Rusty - I am so very sorry that your sister's diagnosis is so grave. I hope you will lean on others at this time, as the burden of losing a loved one so close to you is a lot to shoulder. Hospice is a Godsend, or at least it was to us as my mother was in her final days. Let them help you and your family, and be sure to tell your sister just what she means to you. You may assume she already knows, but there will be no sweeter words to her ears at this time, I promise you. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
