This has been a very sad week. A week ago Wednesday my daughter's mother-in-law fell down a flight of stairs in the night, probably going to the bathroom. She fractured her skull, broke her neck, her back and several ribs. Her husband heard the commotion and went and helped her walk back up the stairs to bed. He had no clue how hurt she was. A bit later she began having seizures and the paramedics were called and she was rushed to the hospital. She was able to communicate the next day with a thumbs up to yes and no questions.

So sorry! What a sad story!. Kay

oh how sad this is, and how hard for the family to accept, in special for the husband, who didn't realize how serious she was hurt. He must feel so sorry..... my prayers for the family, they all need eachother now more than ever. wish them all strength.

Dear Terri, I'm so sorry to read this. My prayers to the family.

My dear Terri, I'm so sorry to read this post. What an absolute tragedy, that poor family must be devastated! I will certainly keep you and your family in my prayers. How sad that those dear grandchildren have lost a dear grandmother. My heart goes out to you and them. Love Chris

So sad to hear this and my prayers go out to the family.

Not good to hear of this sad news. Things can change in an instant. At least they didn't let her linger on just by machines...I don't think she would have liked that idea by the way you describe her. You all just have to remember the good times. Sending up prayers for all the family during this sad time.

She wouldn't but it was terribly difficult for the daughters to let her go. They were grasping at straws to keep their mother, the mother they loved. It took a few days for them to come to terms that she wasn't there anymore. It was so sad to watch them struggle. My heart broke for them. The funeral is tomorrow

Yes it is hard to let go of someone you love but in the end it is for the best for the loved one....Will say extra prayers for everyone to cope with her send off tomorrow. It should be a celebration of her life.
