So sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. You and your entire family are in my prayers.
This is such a touching video. Though I have never met her she looks to have had a beautiful life, and sounds like she has had a peaceful passing thanks to her family. God Bless her on her new journey and God Bless all those missing her still here today. Btw she has such an adorable baby picture ??.
I would like the thank all of the loving caring people at kendred hospice for all the true compaction an professionalism and the way they helped with my mothers passing. It was a long continuous process that none of them ever seemed to mind. I would also like to thank my sister Sue Wedding and her work of over 25plus yrs with Saint Marys hospital of Saint louis for allowing her the time off she need to help give my father A.w. Hall a much needed break and extra hand. The time off from her work aloud some much needed healing time for my mother, father and my sister. I personally had an unfortunate work injury that required surgery and a extensive time to heal and not being able to drive during recovery made it even harder on my family to take care of my mother with out my ability to help until just recently for about the last three weeks. Still I was not able to lift or help in many ways still I could cook and give her medication sometimes needed every hourly and much moral support. I was fortunate to also have an extra set of eyes to help view some very difficult situation, and sometimes with a possibly new outlook or perspective for A solution. And at times giving one of us caregivers a much needed tag out to take a break. Having three of us there toward the end made it possible to Keep a fresh set of eyes to help handle some very delicate situations. As peaceful as we would all like for it to be for the patient while passing it is quite an undertaking, and for even with a crew of three at the end taking care of her 24/7 along with the large assistance from hospice it becomes quite overwhelming at times. Although my mothers was a rare and extended case so I have been told. I would like to personally say a special Prayer for all the caregivers and including family and professionals that God can give them all the strength to be patient,compassionate, and allowing the patient to have as much independence as possible until the very end. Thank you all and God bless you for all of your time and the time away from your family’s for all the long and some times very late hours you came with out regard for any thing but the comfort and needs of my mother Delores Hall. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart and please find the strength to continue your much-needed profession as long as you’re able God bless.
Sincerely Jody Hall
My prayers are with you during this difficult time. I could tell what an amazing woman she was in just the few years I was blessed to get to know her.
I would like to thank everyone for the kind words and good thoughts you all have sent our way. Early on my mother, Delores, stated to me that this would be a long and drawn out process. She knew what she was talking about on that one.
I would like to thank my father, A.W. for taking such good care of my mom for the 60 years they have been together. Their love for each other was a beautiful thing to be a part of. I would also like to thank my brother, Jody for doing so much to lift mom’s spirits and provide comic relief for me and my dad. We made a great team. We would not have been sane to go through this challenging time without having each other to laugh and cry with.
I would also like to thank all the folks at Kindred hospice for helping us on this journey. The kindness and compassion show thru with every task. Chewy, her nurse was amazing. Always there with a smile and an ear. Tarhonda, mom’s bath aid. Always bringing needed supplies and spending time helping out with whatever we needed. Terry, your Thursday calls to ensure we had everything we might need to get thru the weekend and Lastly Jeanne the hospice Chaplin, You have changed all our lives. Your amazing sunny outlook was always refreshing and contagious. Your connection with my family is deep and powerful. We are blessed to have all of you guys on mom’s care team.
I know working in the specialty area of hospice really takes special people and you are all truly amazing.
