MDHs mom lost her battle with cancer on Tuesday AM, passing away peacefully at the hospice center. The funeral was today, but we got through it. Now DH has to concentrate on keeping his butt on the couch and healing from last Friday's 4-hour knee operation. He left the hospital SCU on Monday and we literally drove across the street to the hospice. He sat with his mom and sister for 4-5 hours. She knew he was okay, and felt it was time to move on.

I just wanted to take a second to post an update. Hopefully, the worst is over. :,(

Thanks everyone!

We're slowly recovering. It's so hard seeing MDH break down. Mornings are the worst. But his sister has been here quite a bit to console each other, so I think that is helping.

Now I have the daunting task of writing thank you notes. This is worse than my wedding. We got soooo many flowers and cards. My SIL and I looked up the etiquette on writing thank yous for sympathy notes, and a funeral site said it has to be done. I don't even know where to start. Volunteers? Anyone? ;)

Sorry to hear of all your troubles, Elon. Sending :hug:

You already are the bionic woman. :one:

Yes, you must send thank you notes, but keep it simple. Find a few good phrases and cycle thru them. "Your note/help/contribution meant so much to our family. Thank you for being there when we needed you". "Thank you so much for helping us thru this time, we appreciate you sharing all your good memories of Mom. Good friends are the best solace".

Elon, I'm so sorry to hear of all this. I'm glad you and Mr. Elon have some family members there.

I'll be thinking of you and Mr. Elon and hoping his recovery goes smoothly.

You all have had a lot on your shoulders lately, that's for sure. :hug:
