OT: Aunt has finally let go

My mom's only sister told everyone on Thursday evening and Friday morning  (5 brothers 1 sister) that she was tired, tired of fighting, tired of living life barely able to breath, that she was ready to "go home".

She talked to her children, and my uncle, told them all the same thing.  That they needed to let her go.

My cousin was giving her a breathing treatment (poor thing had been awake for over 48 hrs with her mom already) and she (cousin) stepped into the bathroom, when she came back into the room, she (aunt) was slumped over in the chair.  My uncle and her did CPR until EMS got there, they got her to the hospital, they all worked on her for an hour.  And finally let her go.

My uncle is awful.  My mom told him that they needed to let her go, that's what she wanted. He said "I know, but don't want to!"  Next month is their 59th wedding anniversary.  They've been together for 62 years.

Please keep my family in your thoughts.

My prayers are with you and your family. Your Aunt is where she wanted to be and at peace. We must be thankful for that as it was her wish.

I'm so sorry for your loss, and your family's loss. I can't even imagine how difficult it must be to let go after 59 years together. I hope everyone will be able to accept this loss and find peace in knowing that your aunt was ready to let go.
