Stay with her, talk when she wants to talk, hold her hand, make sure she gets adequate pain meds.

Get out the photo albums and go through your family life with her and relive the good times. Tell her what a wonderful mother she is and was and that she has made you a better person just by being your mother. Show her what an impact she has made in your life and the other members of your family and that none of you would be where you are without her. Tell her that she is your hero and that you hope you can be just half the woman she is when you get old enough. There is so much good you can show her that she has done. Maybe she was active in the community, show her how she made things happen. But most of all, be with her, love her, and show her how much she is appreciated.

We are all going to die. No one escapes that reality. Some of us get the luxury of knowing ahead of time and having an opportunity for closure.

If your mother now has an idea of when the end will come, she will want to tie up loose ends. That means a lot of things, but mostly it means giving everyone a chance to say goodby.

I was very priviledged to be at my mother's bedside when she took her last breath and died. She went out with dignity and closure. I was able to hug her and say goodby. We don't always get that chance, so sieze the moment.

The last thing your mother wants is for you to talk only about her impending death or to pretend that it is not happening. Tell her you love her and touch her as often as you can. Give her physical comfort and it is okay to cry.

It is actually ironic you ask that. My mother is very ill, with a sickness she will die from. Up until recently she was atheist. God gave me the gift of knowledge and wisdom to guide my mom a complete and utter skeptic to the Lord. It was very easy for her to accept the Lord and she now has God, and accepts her Savior Jesus Christ. I could never give my mom anything that will top what Christ can give her and that is eternal life and peace with the Father. What I did show her is a priceless free gift from God. There is not enough money in the world to beat that!

I don't think you should celebrate her life to show her u care! For me I would talk to her and I would go to the highest mountain and pray hard for her and get up early in the morning and pray for her and ask god for her forgiveness and ask god to give me a miracle. I hear that Native Americans say that good spirits are out at 4am in the morning and when you go on top of the mountians. They say that god and the spirit winds can hear you pray and crying for help. That is if you really believe in miracles. Plus, I would do anything to be with her threw this illness of hers, and I would probably even take her to the highest mountians and pray with her while shes stand beside me. I hope this anwers you question.

I'd sit there and gently chide and taunt her until she was laughing so hard that she'd be so full of endorphins she'd not feel a moment more of pain. I'd hold her hand and smiles and tell her I love her and that I could not have been the person I am without all that she did for me. When she stopped laughing, I'd ask if she wanted me to pray with her so she could get another good chuckle in and get a jab in edgewise at me for being an atheist. I'd just spend the time with her in that uniquely loving yet pesky manner me and her share.

Just be there for her. Spend time with her. If you are a believer, share your faith with her.

I watched my mother die for 7 years. The best thing we can do for them is love them. That's all moms really want from us anyway.

You can celebrate her life by showing her what a terrific job she did raising you, by being the son and daughter she hoped you'd be.

That is a reason to celebrate, because motherhood is our most important function in life.

How about making a photo album of some of the joyous highlights of her life. Then sit with her an reminisce; letting her know she was a hero in your life, telling her some words of wisdom she gave which you will carry through your life.
Share her favorite verse with her; or maybe share these Psalms 41:3, Acts 24:15.

show her the Saviour, The Lord Jesus Christ

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

John I 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

Eternal life through Jesus Christ is the best way

ought to that's that your mom might income from looking a distinctive Christian fellowship? in the event that they're getting her down, then i think the fellowship isn't focusing on uplifting Christian subjects. whilst i replaced right into a sparkling mom, residing in a sparkling city and with none kinfolk close to me, i found super help and help among a team of non-denominational women people who met weekly in properties. are you able to do a sprint analyze on your section to locate an evangelical church, or ask your mom if there are different homestead-communities in her church? possibly all she needs is to rub shoulders with pleased, optomistic and uplifting people who (dare I say this?) are youthful in heart and techniques! i know it relatively is confusing for older human beings to alter (places them out on a reducing ingredient, which could be frightening) yet in line with probability all she needs is a sprint encouragement? I even have an somewhat reliable feeling that for the duration of the experience that your mom linked with extra outgoing and beneficial human beings it would alter her outlook and he or she might in basic terms end evaluating you to Stephen. Underlying all this, besides the shown fact that, is her concern approximately your concern and, being a mom, it relatively is very no longer likely that she would be waiting to end aggravating! no longer something you're able to do approximately that, i'm afraid because of fact aggravating is a factor of the interest description that incorporates having little ones. terrific antidote to that's so which you would be able to placed on a pleased face, supply your mom loads of hugs and reassurances, and don't take subject together with her. yet another thought could be so which you would be able to scout around distinctive church homes on your section and locate one that is energetic, energetic and has previous and youthful individuals - in case you like the ambience opportunities are high your mom might, too. well worth a bypass? What might you will possibly desire to unfastened? you will possibly even make new acquaintances your self. I pray God will lead and direct you and your mom to the the terrific option place. Watch this area!

Love her. make sure that the time that she has is the least painful. See if there is anything that she wants to do before she passes. Fulfill any outstanding wishes!
But I'd say love her is the best. Tough stuff. Sorry.
