My mother who had a long battle with Dementia, lost the ability to communicate. She screamed relentlessly for the last 6 months of her life. One night while at her bedside preparing her medications, she speaks. Mom says very clearly and calmly, wait for me. I look over surprised at this and she has her left hand pointing up and outward. I said Momma, who are you talking to? She responded, your Grandma and your Dad, don’t you see them?. She passed a few weeks later, peacefully in her sleep. I love you Mom.

Our mother’s eyes had been closed for a while and she had not spoken all day. We had hymns playing softly from the Christian radio station. My sister and I watched as Mother began to mouth the words along with the hymn “Just As I Am.”…”Oh, Lamb of God, I come, I come.” She opened her eyes wide, looked to the ceiling in the corner of the room, opened her mouth as if to speak, and was gone. She was 92 and died of pulmonary fibrosis. All her life she was a teacher, teaching us how to live. At the end she taught us how to die.

My mother was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 94 she was given a lot of pain medication so she slept until 11:25 pm. She awoke and said “you take such good care of me” and fell back asleep. She died a few minutes later at 11:30pm on my birthday.
It was months later while thinking about what she said I realized even though I was the only one with her she was not talking to me.

“Linda, I’m going home tomorrow!” My mom died the next morning at the age of 70.

“Are we home yet?”. Words spoken to my mother in the ambulance heading back to my mother’s apartment, after the hospital had done everything they could for her mother. She answered, “Almost”. Her mother died right then, she was 92. There would be no resuscitation.

As a Pediatric Hospice nurse, I was with many young ones when they passed. One of the most memorable was a 10 yo male who became comatose for the last 12 hrs. The whole family had gathered at bedside. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, SAT UP, & sang “Twinkle, twinkle little star. How I wonder who you are.” He looked around the room, smiling at everyone, laid back and took his last breath. We were all speechless. It was quite beautiful.–♡,CC

My mother whispered: “I Love you.” She was surrounded by family; I was next to her on her right and my youngest sister was on her left, I believe. It was very emotional for me. I turned, and my eyes fixed on my sister-in-law when I said, “She said she loves you.” I will never forget that moment. A voice in the room said it was just her death rattle, but I know differently.

My great grandfather was dying in the hospital in St. Louis in the early 1900’s. He looked up, raised his hand and said, “Anna I’m coming!” Anna his wife had passed before him. My father’s last words were “Son, 93 years, it sure went by fast!”
My mother, after six good years following a first stroke just answered a questioned I asked shaking her head. I asked her to come home one more time for me from her rehabilitation facility. She was supposed to have had very little cognitive function left, yet she clearly responded, shaking her head no to more struggle. She has made up her mind to go.
