Just as I'm starting to work on arts again after being sick, kids being sick, hubby being sick, then me being sick again...
The mother-in-law gets sick. And it looks like it may be lethal for her. She is weak and fragile, already, and she very nearly died (her heart stopped) on the way to the helicopter to be air-lifted to the hospital.
So now the whole world is topsy-turvy. On top of that, of course, the kids are picking up on my emo apparently, despite my attempts to keep it calm, and misbehaving at their very best. Yus, it's true. Kids sense weakness!
I want to go visit my mother-in-law, but don't want to leave the father-in-law alone, who's too weak and too much pain to go. It's kind of funny, because I never really knew her when she was in her right mind, but a year of bringing meals, helping her out of bed and into her seat, many back rubs and comforting words, has made me love her despite her lack of really knowing what's going on around her.
So now it's a waiting game, and I have no idea how long it'll be before I can get myself back in order. I'll do my best as quickly as I can for those to whom I owe commissions.

best wishes to all. *hugs*
Need someone to talk to and relate to? I can be that person. I've lost many family members and one being on my birthday.
The more you worry the harder it'll be to carry on. When her time comes, at least she'll be free from the discomfort of being ill.
Really not sure how...but hey. *shrug*
Those are words, from all places I picked up in a horror game but find immensely comforting myself. It's a open ended mystery we can believe or assume anything, and given unbiased belief, dying seems like nothing more than someone leaving through a doorway. or the ending to a book, that might still have a sequel.
Another quote I like;
"Love every moment we share together, for that is precious. But do not mourn any moment we had apart, for that made our love so"
And who knows, heaven is one of many nice death theories :) As is reincarnation, which I see merit in given that nothing in this universe seems to get destroyed. Only broken down, before it reassembles.
Just like you.
Time heals all wounds, you'll feel better soon and she will live on as a good memory inside you.
Either that or I have a very eerie set of timing on a very vivid imagination. *chuckles* Either could be true.
And I'm not going to argue with any faith, or otherworldly experiences you might claim too~ Hope is so hard to come by sometimes, I'm glad you found some or rather some found you ^^
Also wish all the best for you and your family
