 A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM JEN G~
A LETTER ABOUT THE
STRONGEST WOMAN I KNOW
My Mom who raised 5 children, witnessed to countless souls and lived to see her 60th birthday.
Dear Friends,
For the past two months I’ve been in the hospital with my Mom who suddenly became ill in March. Almost immediately the doctors told us that her oxygen was low, she had a blood clot in her leg, low-blood pressure, fluid in her lungs, and they eventually hooked her up to a ventilator. They discovered several things wrong with her, but the doctors said that once her oxygen and blood pressure stabilized she would be able to be treated. There only other concern was if her heart failed would we want her resuscitated and we told them yes for seven weeks.
Even though she was sick she was still very strong and full of faith in God. She truly believed that she would walk out of that hospital. She even said she wasn’t worried.
As always I think our Mom’s faith really fueled ours to do everything we knew to do.
So we brought in pictures, which brought a smile to her face. We played the Bible, music and the word. We went to see her three times a day, prayed with her every night before we left and on March 21, we celebrated her 60th birthday. We bought her a beautiful angel and roses that she really loved.
Needless to say, everyday for 7 weeks and 4 days we went to see her three times a day, we prayed and believed, but on April 24th, 2008 at 3:17 pm our Mom went home to be with the Lord. It wasn’t something we expected.
The doctors had said that the last procedure had worked. It was just a matter of her waking up completely. So when we walked into the hospital at 3:30 pm that day you can only imagine the shock that came when my little brother received a phone call from the nurse telling him that our Mom had suddenly flat lined at 3:17 pm.
Then only to find out that the doctor refused to resuscitate her after we had repeatedly told them to was awful. I can’t tell you how much it hurt to see her lifeless body in that hospital bed. Our Mom had gone on to be with the Lord.
It’s been 14 days since our Mom passed away and she’s still in the hospital morgue. The hospital called last week asking us when were we going to have her body moved.
While everyone keeps asking us when is the funeral, but we don’t know because she didn’t have any life insurance and we really can’t afford to bury her. So I’m writing this letter to you today asking you to help bury our Mom. She didn’t want to be cremated so
we’re going to give her a full body funeral. If you would like to help us bury our Mom you can send your donations by clicking the donation button below or if you would rather send a check please email me jen@awoemagazine.com so I can send you the address.
Update 5-8-08 : The hospital called yesterday afternoon to inform us our Mom is beginning to swell and is beginning to decompose. This is due to the fact that they don't have a freezer, but a refridgerator/cooler. Also they didn't follow the protocol of calling us to tell us she could be moved to the city morgue for storage. We've never had to bury anyone before so we had no ideal that was an option. Please spread the word so we can bury her soon. Any help towards this goal would be greatly appreciated.
