Yesterday, the children of my sister, Jennie, did the best they could to deal with her choices. She had earlier decided that she would take no more of her medicine and she refused it. She knew the consequences but she was making that decision, in spite of the consequences. The other side of the issue had consequences also. So she came back to her home on hospice. And there she is!
To those of you who have been through this, you will know the ramifications and the pain that go
from the person who makes the decision to all the chickens who play in the chicken yard. So that is where we are! It was the decision that she wanted made, and she was given the dignity, in the final decision, of making it!
I guess I grieve for those around her who have to go on with their lives and watch this play out. She loved her grandchildren dearly, especially Jordan. Lord, give him strength to deal with this at such a young age! (Pictured is Annie Finnegan, Jennie's daughter).
