Dear Father God, we thank you for my (insert name), for her sweet smile, and her courage. May you send a precious angel to usher her into Your Presence and for Jesus to tell her, Welcome!" Please provide our family with Your Peace and Comfort. Prevent the family from dwelling in sadness or despair. Allow them to love her memory and remember her greatness. In Jesus Name. Amen
My Poem for my Mom on Hospice
Heart to heart, hand to hand
My love for you is as pure as sand
As weeks grow into months and months grow into years
Thoughts of our separation intensify my fears.
Family traditions replay in my mind
Your compassionate heart and words are so kind.
The love you give, the love you gave
Created fond memories that were easily saved.
As our roles reverse and time goes by
A vulnerability I can see in your eye.
Bones become stiff and your joints don’t move
Your movements look weak
You barely whisper when you speak.
Your pleasant disposition and contagious smile
We hope you stay with us for a while.
Sit back and relax, let me fix your hair
You nurtured us, now it’s time for us to give you care.
I am happy you need me, I want to be there
With an open heart and open arms
I begin your medical care.
It’s my privilege and honor to tell you every day
I am forever grateful to care for you in this way.
There isn’t another place in this world
I would rather be than with you
And Daddy and my crazy family.
We ordered a name tag for my dad. He wears it around his neck.
It has his name and address on it. It looks like an Army tag. He likes to wear it.

We have a large whiteboard in the living room to write on. When my dad starts asking the same questions over and over again. You know the questions are different every day.
I write the answers on the whiteboard and it helps so I don't have to answer the same question 200 times in a few hours. My dad feels better because he feels more independent. Some days, he tells me what to write on the board.
Use expo markers on the whiteboard.
