Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2004Another purr request
Last night, my dear wife's Mom passed away. She had had Alzheimer's for about 5 years and had been slowly going downhill. In some ways it was a relief that she was out of her suffering, but it's always hard to "let Mom go". Her Dad had passed away last April so it was just her Mom. Ramona (DW) had been going down for two months 3 times a year to give her older sister some respite from tending to their mother (we live in Seattle, WA, USA - northwest corner of the "lower 48") and her parents live in Alabama (Southeast US). She's been doing this for about 4 years now, and had been down staying with her Mom for almost a month this trip. Fortunately, she was there during Mom's "final moments". When her Dad passed away, she was here (Seattle) so she didn't really get to "say goodbye" in quite the same way. Anyway, any purrs and prayers of comfort you can spare would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear about your MIL. It's good that Ramona could have been with her in her last days. It's strange, but it's somehow been more of a comfort to me when it happens that way.
