My sympathies to Peiper and family.
My condolences to you and your wife, Peiper. I know it was a hell of a burden you’d both taken on looking after her, and to a certain degree, there will be relief at that burden being lifted, but she’s still a family member gone from your wife’s life and we can never predict how hard those losses will hit us.
Peiper,
Never miss an opportunity for a memory to make you laugh. It may not seem the time for laughter, but it is good for us to find occasion to celebrate and find joy in a life. And then there are times when our grief can only be fully expressed when first we fully express our joy in the life now past.
One last thing, Non carborundum illigetimi
Peiper...I will pray for you and your family for strength.
May she rest in peace.
Hang in.
Doc
Peiper,
May God give you peace and may you take comfort in the fact that you and your wife gave her mother much better care in her last years than she could have received anywhere else.
JD, my condolences. Been there entirely too may times. At least she’s released.
It is never easy to lose a dear one under any circumstances. My condolences.
Peiper and Jennifer - My family sends our condolences and prayers for your comfort in this time of grief. Take care and return to us when you are able.
My condolences to Peiper and his wife........God bless Mrs. Peiper (I don’t know their real names) for all she did for her Mom 24/7.........hopefully once the grieving is done she will be able to take some time for herself, regroup, and move forward now that this burden has been lifted from her life............She put her life on hold to care for her mother and she deserves some peace in her life.........Peiper & wife - God bless you both...........
Much thanks to all you kind folks.
I can’t think of anything else to say here, except thank you all.
Dear Peiper and Mrs. Peiper,
You took on a very challenging family burden. It was a work of love. Well done.
I hope that if… I mean… when I face such a challenge, I will take it on and discharge it as well as the Peipers.
Love is a choice. You show it by the burdens you’re willing to take on.
You’ve been an inspiration to me while I deal with my mother, who lost her leg last February. Just this last Thursday I completed training on transferring Mom from my car to her wheelchair. This is so as to take her shopping at times.
We tried it without such training before Christmas… it was a disaster… the EMT’s gave us a Christmas present by not charging us for the call…
