Unhappy Re: My sister is on life support

:an!:Thank you, Thank you all. You all made me feel so loved. They turned off the vent, she kept breathing. They have been giving her morphine since last night. I have been praying that God, would take her home to be with him. Claudia has always been a fighter. I was so sure she would go last night, or today. My brother in law is with her again tonight. I swear my heart is broken in half. My kids are grown, I have been a nurse since they were 5 and 6, they are 35 and 34 now. Tonight my daughter called me and asked, "Are they giving Aunt Claudia, anything to drink?" I said no sweetie. She said but mom. I don't know how we can all go on much more.

Re: My sister is on life support

Keep us posted. And, if you wish, share with us the story of your sister. What type of person she is, what she did for a living, the funny things and whatever you wish to reveal (if anything at all).

Don't feel bad about how you deal with grief. We all do the best we can when it comes to that.
I can relate. My grandfather looked horrible in his casket; did not look like him at ALL. Really hated seeing him like that.
