Here is Mom again with her red glass heart. She had a good weekend, but this morning she had a heart attack and is now in the hospital. The doctor suggested that, as Mom has a living will and is 90 years old that we could take her off life supports. That would mean no more tests or treatments. I agree with this. Then her body can either rev up again or she can die. As the body wishes. My brother however is not ready to do this, to admit that Mom is most likely dying. So she will rest tonight in ICU and we will see what tomorrow brings.
Thank you all for your ears and advice. I may not be reading blogs nor writing my own blog much in the next week. Namaste, Suki

You have a great deal of love and support here as always. You sound at peace with everything, but please know if you need to have a ear to listen I always have the time for you.
I send you a great deal of energy, peace and love.
Namaste to you, as well, my dear friend.
Oh Suki, I will just send you hugs and prayers to get through this difficult time.
Suki, I send you my love too, and hope that the right thing to do will just show up naturally. Very difficult times for your. Love to you and your mom and to your brother too.

Suki, when you do return just know I was keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and for your mom too.
May whatever is going to happen be as peaceful as possible for all concerned.
Sending hugs and positive energy for getting through this difficult time. Love, Lynn
Sigh,,,even when not un- expected, these turns of events are so very hard.
May all of you rest in His perfect peace.
And yes, we're here if you need us.
I wish you peace in the coming days. My heart and my prayer go out to you and your family
my brother and i did this for our mother, she was only 57. she died that night after having suffered terribly the previous 9 years, and we never regretted this decision.i wish you and your brother clarity of mind and peace in the days ahead. xx
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers tonight, Suki.
Lots of love,

So sorry, You knew something was afoot didn't you?. I think you are right in doing what you plan. Let your mom's body decide to stay or go. My thoughts will be with you and your mom and brother, I hope he changes his mind. Big hugs and lots of love.
So sorry to hear this bad news. You had said you thought she was not up to par. What ever will be, will be. Namaste.
Oh Suki continued prayers coming your way for your whole family, As I started to read the first thing that came to mind was how is your brother going to take this. I pray that by morning's clear light your brother will see some clarity as well. 90 is fabulous and hope someday I may see it, but not on life support. God bless dear Suki!
To have reached 90 yrs of age is no small thing. quality of life is important here and you have made your decision from your heart and with good sense. It's up to your Mom now. I hope your brother comes to terms with it all in time too.
Love and support Suki, as always.

Oh Suki, so sorry to hear this. You KNEW someting was wrong having been with her so much. Your Brother is balking because he probably can't face losing someone else so quickly. I send prayers and hugs to you too that everything is peaceful.
Hugs Cris

My dear friend Suki,
I came to see your latest craft or hunt for crafts and found something far different -- I found that you were in need of prayer . . . much prayer. Hard decisions -- I have no advice. I shall simply sit beside you in prayer and await your return to blogland. My heart is heavy for you, sweet friend. May blessings lift you and carry you through this. You shall be missed, but thought of in unceasing prayers showered over your entire family.
Suki, Know that I hold you, your mom and your brother in my highest thoughts tonight.
Dear Suki, we are all thinking of you during this difficult time, you have many friends in cyberspace, all of us have you in our deepest thoughts throughout the following days. Your Mother has reached an amazing age and it is her wish to leave this earth in a peaceful and dignified manner. I know it is so hard for your brother to let go of her, hopefully he will find some way to let her go soon. Namaste
your mom looks so happy and content...
sure what you need most at this time is being with your mother and with your SELF to assimilate the change... though you were expecting it...
i wish you a peaceful time and send my love to you and your mother.
namaste!
I've been thinking of you all night.Tell her it's her time.You know the kindest thing to do is let her go.Peace, love and happiness. Thinking of you. x

Dear Suki,
I´m sure I left a comment here when I came home this week..... Now I only came back to say my thought are still with you all and see my comment is not there. Must have pressed some wrong buttons......
I was so sorry to read about your mom.
I hope you will all take a decision which is good for everyone.
It is hard to let go so some people tend to take other decisions.
I really hope your mother won´t have to go through unnecessary suffering .
Once again Suki, my thoughts are with you all no matter what decision taken.
I have been thinking about you a lot and in my mind I´m sending you love and light for all involved.
Big warm hug! >M<
Just peeking in to let you know I am still thinking of you...praying for the best that can be under the circumstances. Hugs to you Suki.
Sending loving energy to mom, you, brother, all involved. Lynn
What a beautiful woman your mother was. I just got the news a bit late and even though I see you've posted more updated news, I chose this one to leave my comment on because of your mother's face and the red heart necklace. I'm just so moved.
May you find peace in your heart dear Suki, and much comfort in your memories. She was so lucky to have you, and you her.
You'll be okay. Your friends will make sure of it. And so will your mom, I have a feeling.
