Dear Misses, I was around your ages when my mom broke the news to me that there wasn't anything more to be done for her but to move her into hospice. I wept horribly. But she assured me, it was ok to weep now, so tomorrow I would be strong. And I was. And the two of you will be, too. Cling to your Lord, as I know you will, and your loved ones. Praying for Miss CIndy and you all.
I'll be praying girls , I lost my sister to lung cancer in 2017 , I took her hand and prayed she squeezed my hand and I knew it was time she wanted to make sure she would be with JESUS , IM SO GLAD I GOT THERE IN TIME TO PRAY HER TO HEAVEN . THATS SO MUCH PEACE KNOWING SHE RAN INTO HIS ARMS . ❤
Hi girls, I worked hospice. It is a very fulfilling job, although it wasn't a job to me. Y'all are in my thoughts and prayers. I know it's hard to watch but God is by your side. It's just time for Miss Cindy to go home. Talk to her, tell her how you feel about her. Although she might seem to be sleeping, she can still hear you. Draw your strength from the Lord. I love y'all.
I worked in Hospice too. It was always a privilege for families to let me into their hearts, home & into something very personal. Thank you for your work in the hospice field.
Absolutely. The last thing to leave is the hearing. Sing. Cry. Laugh. Play recordings of familiar voices or beloved songs for her. Give what you feel is best for You and it will be perfect for your dear Grandmother. AND. Don't be surprised if Miss Cindy has a moment or two of clarity, talking, smiling. This is a very LOVING time. And such a privilege! You come from such Strong Stock. Be encouraged.
I know this is hard sweeties, I lost my grandpa with cancer . You cling to your family and lean on Jesus, we will see them again . Many prayers to you and love. Teresa Robbinsville NC
No apologies needed for the tears shed for the deep love you have for Miss Cindy. As you said, God is in control and he drops his signs of His presence here and there. Your faith is getting you through this time of sadness and grief. You all continue to be in our thoughts and prayers❣️
NO MA'AM ! You are NOT pitiful and just crying. You have a family here, and a community that wants to know how you are doing -- you have given so much to US! So we appreciate the update, and we want to return the support you give us. Thank you!
As a nurse I have helped so many pass. There is an art to helping someone pass peacefully and beautifully. There is something so humbling and beautiful when a life enters the world and even when a life returns to Jesus. Hospice is a great comfort for so many, I am glad you guys are having the expected experience from hospice. Prayers for you all.
My Husband passed away from Lung Cancer. I’m So sorry you all have to go through this. Make sure you let her know that you Love her Dearly and stand by your Dad. He REALLY needs you. I will continue to Pray for Ms. Cindy and ALL of you with Love.
For Christians....to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Cor 5:8) Miss Cindy will soon be present with the Lord. God bless you & your family during this time. Hugs!
Psalm 91 is one of my favorite chapters. Thank you for sharing from your heart. I love how y'all are there caring for her and I'm sure she is so thankful too. Losing a loved one is never easy, but comfort comes in knowing you will see her again. Continued prayers and love to you all.
What a joy and peace, in knowing, that Ms Cindy will be in your future. What a grand reunion, shouting ,singing, praising. Bless the Lord, oh my soul. ❤
Cancer took my mom in three months, my heart and prayers are with you and your family. Hospice has been great for Mom and us too, they are good people. God comfort and strengthen you and your family.❤🙏
Hospice workers are such a blessing! May the Lord wrap his arms around you and Miss Cindy and may you feel His presence, love, steadfastness, and strength as you go through this!
You two precious girls are a wonderful blessing to so many in sharing God's word through your lives and wisdom way beyond years. My tearful prayers are with you and the whole family. Ms. Cindy is on her journey to the arms of our loving Jesus Christ and He is in control as you just said. We, all of us, are joined in prayer with love.
Hello Girls. I'm so sorry for your grief. I want to share something with you that I learned when my dad passed 5 years ago from prostate cancer. My dad was a pastor..we are born again believers. He suffered a lot. He was 83, I was his girl...still am at 67. Like you, we turned to Hospice also, and what a blessing. They gave us a booklet called "Crossing the Creek" which was so, so helpful in knowing what to expect every step of the way. The morning my dad passed, my son, my sister, and her daughter were with me at my dad's bedside. We knew passing was imminent. Like you, we knew where our dad was going and he was about to be transformed. We had our Bible and were reading..." To be absent from this body is to be present with Christ". All of a sudden our faith released and we got so excited for what was about to happen to him. We knew there had to be angels in the room waiting to transport him! We knew he was about to receive what he had worked for over 50 years. He was about to meet Jesus face to face! We were so focused on dad and what was happening for him! Crossing the Creek said a lot of times they open their eyes one last time right before the end. That happened, we said "hello" and grabbed the Bible to re-read that scripture and he was gone. I knew sometimes the spirit looks back and I lifted up my face and said a joyous goodbye to my dad. I was so happy I was shouting to my family... He's before Christ! He's before Christ! He's healed! He's healed! Joy broke out in the room! Laughter of joy!! We knew the angels had been there to revive dad. I never in my life that would be my reaction to my dad passing, but it was so beautiful! We rejoiced for hours. I know people thought we were crazy, but we knew what had happened to him and where he was. What I learned, focus on what Miss Cindy is about to receive. No more tears, no pain, just joy and gladness for her the rest of eternity. There's time to grieve later. Take time to rejoice. It made all the difference for us. It's been 5 years and still rejoicing. I don't really grieve, I miss him, I'm sad sometimes, but mostly I rejoice for him. Every day after that, we're one day closer to seeing them again. Praying for your family. Look forward to hearing you rejoice!❤
Thank you so much this was such a wonderful memory you have shared about your faith and what a wonderful and blessed day your dad meeting God WOW just the thought of meeting our father our savior makes my heart happy . The crazy thing is I had never thought of it like that I wish when I lost my momma in 98 someone would have been able to explain it that way . I'm now 59 and still been grieving for my loss and not seeing it the way you have explained it here . I truly believe this will help so many that read this I think this will bring so much comfort to Miss Cindy and the whole precious family. I know it has to me. GOD BLESS YOU AND EVERYONE THAT READS THIS🙏🙏💙🙏🙏
I think I’ve mentioned it before that my sister died 4 years ago with lung cancer. She started out with a cold and had a lingering cough. She finally went to the doctor and was told she had cancer. She would always tell me “God’s got this”. She went fast also. God is merciful. He will give you strength. ♥️🙏♥️
That's a gem of a story you told of Pete and RePete. And of Miss Cindy telling you she's going to bed now and for y'all to be quiet. It made me smile. God bless you girls, and I'll keep you in my prayers. xo
It is so hard to let someone that you love so much go. Someone that has had such a huge role in your life will always be with you. Praying that you can all find peace in her home going, what a celebration there will be she arrives! It is only those of us left behind that feel the sorrow, praying that God's grace will bring you comfort. Hugs.
The grief, sadness and tears are signs that great love exists. It's so hard having to let go of a loved one. We know we will see them again, but it still hurts and leaves a hole in our hearts and lives. Prayers for all of you ❤
I’m crying cause I know the pain your going through. You want their suffering to stop but you don’t want them to die . I’m continuing to keep Ms. Cindy in my prayers and your family.
My wife passed with a brain tumor and Hospice was the greatest taking care of her. Everyone that is associated or work for Hospice are a blessing to every family. Sending Prayers to you girls and the whole family.🙏🙏❤️❤️
Girls...as a nurse who has seen more than my share of death and disease...your strength is a blessing...I pray that when Ms Cindy eases out of this life and wakes up in glory that your faith will only be strengthened. Your family and honesty is a blessing to me and my family. Praying for comfort and peace.
Corie and Katie, our prayers are with you, your family and Miss Cindy. Thank you for always being so open and honest in sharing your faith through the blessings and the suffering. Love and hugs to you all. 💕🙏💕🙏
My Dad had colon cancer and passed in 2000. I don't know how we would have made it through without hospice. They are angels on earth. They walked with us through to the end and helped prepare us for what was going to happen next. When we came to that place with my mama years later, they were there too. Different circumstances but still a Godsend. It takes a special kind of individual to be a hospice nurse. Such a comfort! ❤🙏 and hugs.
You come into the world needing care, and go out of the world needing care. Thankful you got hospice there for Miss Cindy. My heart aches for you girls. I was there with my mom and dad during their final breaths. It’s hard!!! No doubt I am in tears listening to your post. I told your momma to let you all know your in my prayers, and I am holding you all in my faith to get you through. Miss Cindy will be with Pap and our savior Jesus Christ. ❤
Psalm 91 is my favorite. Every word is so encouraging and comforting. I used to keep a Bible on my desk and started every work day by reading that Psalm. I’m praying for Ms Cindy’s comfort and strength for the family to carry you through. God is always with you. You are not alone.
My prayers continue for Miss Cindy & you all. As hard as this is for you - what a great blessing to know her next stop is heaven with joy unspeakable.❤
My dad who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer when I was 31 and within 3 weeks he was gone. He was the healthiest person I knew ran 5 miles a day and had just came back from a mission trip to rebuild houses in a devastated area. Just a shock and this brings me back to that feeling. I’m so sorry girls we are all praying for your family.
I saw your mom's video last night. I'm praying for you all. I hope you know how many of us are praying for comfort for your family and especially Miss Cindy.
Bless your hearts. My husband died of lung, pancreatic cancer. Was gone in 4 months. Hospice was Wonderful as you mentioned. Your deep sorrow and tears made me cry. Your videos bring such honesty which is so Wonderful. We are all human and we will go through this someday. Grandma will be in the arms of Jesus soon ❤️
Listened to your mom's update last night. My heart sorrows for you all. Hope that Matt is doing okay.. Miss Cindy is going home and I'm glad that she is under hospice care as much for you as for her. Love you all ❤❤❤
Listening to this confirms how lucky Miss Cindy is to have such a loving family. She must have been a wonderful person to have so much love surrounding her. You will gain strength from all this love. God never forgets the ones left behind. Sending prayers.
More than anything else, thank you girls for your testimony. Jesus IS the answer and Miss Cindy will be welcomed into His rest when the time comes. Both of my parents are gone and I know for a fact that they are with the Lord. God bless you and your family.
You're not pitiful. You're sweet and dear and honest, and you and your family are loved by thousands of us out here. 💞 Asking that God hold you all, but especially Miss Cindy and your daddy, in the palm of His hand. 🕊
Thank you for using your platform to shine your light on Jesus! May you feel His comforting arms around you as He escorts Miss Cindy home. The Lord is close to the broken hearted! Continued prayers for all y'all!!
Big hugs. Hospice is the best for your beloved grandmother. I have been in your place several times and my heart is sorrowful for you all. God is there. You are correct this is not goodbye. It is on this earth, but not final. Prayers for all of you.
It was an absolute pleasure to meet you guys at the book signing in Roanoke. My wife and I immediately became so nervous and found ourselves not knowing what to say which doesn't make sense considering how genuine, down-to-earth, and approachable you guys seem to be. We pray for a peaceful transition for Miss Cindy and will continue to keep the family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. 🙏 Andy & Kristen
Praying for all of you during this hard time. Jesus is right there with Miss Cindy. He is there to give you strength and peace as He waits to welcome her home.
We found out with hospice that when you think they can’t hear you at the end, they can! We told my mom we love her and much more and then ……told her it was ok to let go and fly into the arms of Jesus. She did and it was so incredibly peaceful. We then each spent out own alone time with her and it is such a precious memory. God be with you and hold you so tight.
Sweet girls, I know what you are going through. My Dad was diagnosed with cancer and passed away at the age of 70 in less than a month . It really rocked my world. I was praying and had so many others praying for him at that time. At first I thought that our prayers were unanswered, but I realized that God’s mercy was evident in how quickly he left us. That was many years ago. In fact, I am now close to that age. I realize that his life was shorter than I would have liked, but in Psalm 139 it says that all of our days are decided before we take our first breath. That has always been comforting to me because at first there were so many thoughts like, “if only they had found the cancer sooner.” God bless you and your family 🤗
Our mom passed away from cancer and dementia Dec. 25, 2014. She was 89 and hospice was there to help us. They are truly angels here on earth. I'm going to have a mass said for Miss Cindy. It won't be immediate but I will send you the link when I know what Sunday the mass will be said. Keeping Miss Cindy and the family in my prayers.
My heart goes out to you all l lost my dad to lung cancer you are wright it happens so fast and aggressive form of cancer and its hard to handle. God Bless you all God Bless
Continued prayers for peace and comfort for Miss Cindy and your family 🙏 Hospice is a blessing ❤ it takes a special person to be a Hospice Nurse ❤ spend as much time lovin on and talking to you precious Grandmother that will mean so much to you and her ❤
My mother passed in April at the age of 93. She had struggled with so many health issues, and severe pain over her lifetime. Her passing was more relief than grief for her family.
I can tell by your facial expressions and body language that this is terribly painful for you. I lost my dear sister at the end of March to COPD and lung cancer, and it went terribly fast. I’m still grieving badly. I’m so sorry for all of you. I know how much it hurts. Praying for peace for all of you. ❤️
My granny went from cooking meals to bed ridden in a flash due to an aneurism. They drained the fluid from her brain enough that we got to talk to her, we had medical options for treatment, but she just said “take me home”. So we all had our chances to talk to her and tell her how much we loved her. We took her home, hospice came in and walked her last two weeks with us. They were such a blessing. Granny went peacefully in her bed with her windows opening and the birds singing. It was what she wanted. It was hard on us but I am so thankful for the peace. I’ll be praying for your family.
I’ve been involved with passings with the help of hospice, and they are such a help and support. My husband died of pancreatic cancer. He held on for 5 months so he could see our daughter graduate from college. He had to watch online from the hospital but he then just passed a few hours later. He had said his goodbyes and saw what he needed to see. We didn’t even get back in time but he was at peace. A quick peaceful death with your loved ones around is a blessing.
Hospice is full of merciful angels. The pain meds help her breathe too. Thank you for the updates. I am in hospice too. I am doing pretty good really. God bless
My Daughter is also a hospice nurse it takes a strong individual to do this. She chose to work in this field after we lost our Granny she was also on hospice. One of the workers told her she would be great in this field because she had such a great heart ❤️ .what a day that will be when our Savior we shell see .when we look up on his face the one who saved me with is grace. She is going home!
My husband was only 54 when I lost him to cancer late last year. Your grandma must have been a wonderful woman and so blessed to be her age and have beautiful grandchildren standing outside crying for her. I think that’s every woman’s dream. To be a grandmother and have them all around you when you go home for good. May God give you peace. Xo
Oh girls 😢 It’s ok to cry. Hospice is so great at helping loved ones have dignity in their end of life. My brother passed on hospice in 2019 at the age of 64. Be with her and talk with her, she can hear you. My heart breaks for your family. 🙏🏻♥️
Prayer for Ms. Cindi and your family. My Mom died of cancer, we only had 9 days with her upon getting her diagnosis. Hospice was wonderful. My Mom was a True Southern Christian Lady. Mom told me she had a good life. That was a comfort. I am glad she did not suffer for months. But it does not make it any less with missing her everyday.
Miss Cindy's soul is perfect and eternal...just like God's love. So wonderful that you are with her and showing her so much love at this time. Praying for you all! 🙏🕊❤
As a nurse our goal is to make them comfortable as can be, you made the right decision with Hospice stepping in because now they can make her very comfortable and not suffer. I’m so sorry you are all in my prayers ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
In the past eight years I've lost a cousin, an aunt, two uncles and my mom. Last year, my dad had cancer and survived. It's heartbreaking and you feel helpless. All we can do is turn to a higher power and let them help us. God Bless Miss Cindy and your family, Katie and Corie. My love to you all. ❤
For lack of better words, Psalms 91 became so real to me when my father passed. My daughter & I also had a "feather" experience too! Your words were so comforting to me today! I love how you all love Jesus. I am so thankful for the testimony in your lives! Praying for Ms. Cindy & you all.
My prayers of comfort for her and all the prayers for your hearts' are being sent up. My love to all of you. I delt with lung cancer with my birth mother and my husband's mother. It hurts so much. Hospice nurses must be angels. They were so good to us. Much love, Melanie
I recently lost my Mema and she was also on Hospice care. Those nurses are definitely a God send! My family has been and will continue to pray for Miss Cindy and the family. ((((Hugs))))
I lost my dad this way. He was fixing my headlight before I left his house. I went to California for two weeks and when I came back he was starting hospice care I'm just trying to say I can relate and feel great sorrow for what you are feeling. Remember where she is going. No more sickness,pain or sorrow . I hope she has a happy reunion and I pray for you all.
So sorry, thank you for keeping us posted. Relieved to know Miss Cindy is comfortable. Your faith and maturity is remarkable. My heart goes out to your family. Look after your Dad, he has his own grief. Love to all of you. You are all so special. God be with you. Prayers for your family.
Hospice is a God send. I took care of my mother and her 2 sisters when they had cancer. Talk to her and sing her favorite songs. She can hear. My prayers are with you and your family.
Continued prayers for Miss Cindy. I pray the Lord wraps his arms around each and everyone of you. May he give you all strength & comfort. Sending love and prayers to you all. 🙏♥️🙏
Katie you always manage to make me giggle (or often laugh to tears), even in such a sad time. Praying fervently for Miss Cindy and for y'all. How blessed we are when somebody's sad to see us go, truly. It is temporary, as you know and said, but it hurts. We lift you up in prayer and please tell Miss Cindy THANK YOU, from the people who admire her family so, the son she raised who cultivates such a family and girls as profoundly good as y'all are. Much love to you all.💞
Death and separation of a loved one is tough. I lost my dad 20 years ago to cancer. But the hospice nurse told us even after they pass, our hearing is the last thing to go. So even after he passed, we continued to say I love you, so he would know he was sent to Heaven with our love.
I lost my Mom to Cancer in January, she was only 68. I took care of her at home with my Dad and hospice was a huge help to us. Knowing that she was saved and that we will be together again one day has been such a comfort. I love how you are pointing people Jesus through this hard time 💕
No need to apologize for being "pitiful", Katie and Corie. You're already grieving even as you reassure yourselves that Miss Cindy will soon be free from pain and in a better place. I feel enough a part of your family that this news is hitting me hard, and I just hope you can feel the hugs I'm sending your way.
My heart hurts for you all. My husband has been diagnosed this morning with lung cancer. We’ve always said his mother sends is feathers. She passed many years ago but she never fails to send us feathers just when we need a touch of faith. As I left the hospital tonight and pulled in my driveway I found two feathers on my welcome mat. Much love girls. There’s nothing more precious than the live you hold in your hearts.
I lost both parents last year, 3 months apart. I’d spent 13 years living with and caring for them. I kept them both at home until my dad was no longer able to walk or speak. We were able to engage hospice care with both of them. The most wonderful people I’ve ever met. I feel for you and found myself in tears listening to you. Your grandmother is lucky to be surrounded by such love and care. I guess I’m still looking for the peace that is supposed to come after such hard times. Keep leaning on each other. I have you in my thoughts and prayers, in the eastern part of NC. God bless.
Dear Misses, I was around your ages when my mom broke the news to me that there wasn't anything more to be done for her but to move her into hospice. I wept horribly. But she assured me, it was ok to weep now, so tomorrow I would be strong. And I was. And the two of you will be, too. Cling to your Lord, as I know you will, and your loved ones. Praying for Miss CIndy and you all.
He each other for me. I’m praying you, Miss Cindy, Tipper, Matt, and the rest of your family through this. She will be rejoicing with the Lord.
I lost a sister to cancer when she was 39.
It's hard I know but we all are thinking of you both.
Be strong.

Cancer took my mom in three months, my heart and prayers are with you and your family. Hospice has been great for Mom and us too, they are good people. God comfort and strengthen you and your family.❤🙏
Hospice workers are angels on Earth in my experience. Prayers continuing for Ms Cindy 🙏🏻💛 as well as all of you…
Prayers girls for all of you. My heart breaks for you because I held my dad while he passed. Cancer is so horrible. We need God. He’s the only hope.
Hospice workers are such a blessing! May the Lord wrap his arms around you and Miss Cindy and may you feel His presence, love, steadfastness, and strength as you go through this!
🙏✨🙏💫

Wow! Truly beautiful!

It is so hard to let someone that you love so much go. Someone that has had such a huge role in your life will always be with you. Praying that you can all find peace in her home going, what a celebration there will be she arrives! It is only those of us left behind that feel the sorrow, praying that God's grace will bring you comfort. Hugs.
No one has more genuine love for us than our granny’s. God Bless you girls!❤❤❤❤
I know your granny must be so proud of you precious ladies. We will all be together soon with our loved ones......He's got Granny, thank you Jesus!
Thank you ❤️
The grief, sadness and tears are signs that great love exists. It's so hard having to let go of a loved one. We know we will see them again, but it still hurts and leaves a hole in our hearts and lives. Prayers for all of you ❤
I’m crying cause I know the pain your going through. You want their suffering to stop but you don’t want them to die . I’m continuing to keep Ms. Cindy in my prayers and your family.
Thank you 🙏
My wife passed with a brain tumor and Hospice was the greatest taking care of her. Everyone that is associated or work for Hospice are a blessing to every family. Sending Prayers to you girls and the whole family.🙏🙏❤️❤️
Girls...as a nurse who has seen more than my share of death and disease...your strength is a blessing...I pray that when Ms Cindy eases out of this life and wakes up in glory that your faith will only be strengthened. Your family and honesty is a blessing to me and my family. Praying for comfort and peace.
Thank you so much 💜
Even through your pain .. you shared such a wonderful message of God's everlasting love!!! Keep speaking Jesus. ❤
Corie and Katie, our prayers are with you, your family and Miss Cindy. Thank you for always being so open and honest in sharing your faith through the blessings and the suffering. Love and hugs to you all. 💕🙏💕🙏
My Dad had colon cancer and passed in 2000. I don't know how we would have made it through without hospice. They are angels on earth. They walked with us through to the end and helped prepare us for what was going to happen next. When we came to that place with my mama years later, they were there too. Different circumstances but still a Godsend. It takes a special kind of individual to be a hospice nurse. Such a comfort! ❤🙏 and hugs.
You come into the world needing care, and go out of the world needing care. Thankful you got hospice there for Miss Cindy. My heart aches for you girls. I was there with my mom and dad during their final breaths. It’s hard!!! No doubt I am in tears listening to your post. I told your momma to let you all know your in my prayers, and I am holding you all in my faith to get you through. Miss Cindy will be with Pap and our savior Jesus Christ. ❤
Thank you so much ❤️
Was Miss Cindy Pap's sister?
@@beckycook2483 No, she was our Dad's mother 💕
Psalm 91 is my favorite. Every word is so encouraging and comforting. I used to keep a Bible on my desk and started every work day by reading that Psalm. I’m praying for Ms Cindy’s comfort and strength for the family to carry you through. God is always with you. You are not alone.
My prayers continue for Miss Cindy & you all. As hard as this is for you - what a great blessing to know her next stop is heaven with joy unspeakable.❤
Hospice’s is great they help with everything. My husband died a month ago and they came in and helped. They were great.
We called hospice workers angels in the hospital! Sending prayers for Miss Cindy and your entire family!! 😇🙏🙏🤗💕
My dad who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer when I was 31 and within 3 weeks he was gone. He was the healthiest person I knew ran 5 miles a day and had just came back from a mission trip to rebuild houses in a devastated area. Just a shock and this brings me back to that feeling. I’m so sorry girls we are all praying for your family.
I saw your mom's video last night. I'm praying for you all. I hope you know how many of us are praying for comfort for your family and especially Miss Cindy.
Thank you so much 💜
Bless your hearts. My husband died of lung, pancreatic cancer. Was gone in 4 months. Hospice was Wonderful as you mentioned. Your deep sorrow and tears made me cry. Your videos bring such honesty which is so Wonderful. We are all human and we will go through this someday. Grandma will be in the arms of Jesus soon ❤️
Listened to your mom's update last night. My heart sorrows for you all. Hope that Matt is doing okay.. Miss Cindy is going home and I'm glad that she is under hospice care as much for you as for her. Love you all ❤❤❤
Listening to this confirms how lucky Miss Cindy is to have such a loving family. She must have been a wonderful person to have so much love surrounding her. You will gain strength from all this love. God never forgets the ones left behind. Sending prayers.
Sending prayers and love to everyone. Hospice staff are angels on earth. God Bless to all❤
Thank you ❤️
More than anything else, thank you girls for your testimony. Jesus IS the answer and Miss Cindy will be welcomed into His rest when the time comes. Both of my parents are gone and I know for a fact that they are with the Lord. God bless you and your family.
You're not pitiful. You're sweet and dear and honest, and you and your family are loved by thousands of us out here. 💞 Asking that God hold you all, but especially Miss Cindy and your daddy, in the palm of His hand. 🕊
I wish I was brave as you 2!, when I was younger! I lost half of my family, prayer's to your family, pray for me and my 2 boys! ❤❤
There is nothing I can say that has already been said. Prayers for your family. Give your Dad a big hug God Bless
God is needing an Angel and it’s your grandma. May you have all of God’s strength as you continue to love and support your sweet Grandma.
Sending love as Cindy goes on to her reward.
Thank you for using your platform to shine your light on Jesus! May you feel His comforting arms around you as He escorts Miss Cindy home. The Lord is close to the broken hearted! Continued prayers for all y'all!!
Big hugs. Hospice is the best for your beloved grandmother. I have been in your place several times and my heart is sorrowful for you all. God is there. You are correct this is not goodbye. It is on this earth, but not final. Prayers for all of you.
It was an absolute pleasure to meet you guys at the book signing in Roanoke. My wife and I immediately became so nervous and found ourselves not knowing what to say which doesn't make sense considering how genuine, down-to-earth, and approachable you guys seem to be.
We pray for a peaceful transition for Miss Cindy and will continue to keep the family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. 🙏 Andy & Kristen
Praying for all of you during this hard time. Jesus is right there with Miss Cindy. He is there to give you strength and peace as He waits to welcome her home.
We found out with hospice that when you think they can’t hear you at the end, they can! We told my mom we love her and much more and then ……told her it was ok to let go and fly into the arms of Jesus. She did and it was so incredibly peaceful. We then each spent out own alone time with her and it is such a precious memory. God be with you and hold you so tight.
I am so sorry you’re having to go through this. Your granny is still teaching you as she passes. God loves you and I love you.
❤️
Sweet girls, I know what you are going through. My Dad was diagnosed with cancer and passed away at the age of 70 in less than a month . It really rocked my world. I was praying and had so many others praying for him at that time. At first I thought that our prayers were unanswered, but I realized that God’s mercy was evident in how quickly he left us.
That was many years ago. In fact, I am now close to that age. I realize that his life was shorter than I would have liked, but in Psalm 139 it says that all of our days are decided before we take our first breath. That has always been comforting to me because at first there were so many thoughts like, “if only they had found the cancer sooner.”
God bless you and your family 🤗
Our mom passed away from cancer and dementia Dec. 25, 2014. She was 89 and hospice was there to help us. They are truly angels here on earth. I'm going to have a mass said for Miss Cindy. It won't be immediate but I will send you the link when I know what Sunday the mass will be said. Keeping Miss Cindy and the family in my prayers.
My heart goes out to you all l lost my dad to lung cancer you are wright it happens so fast and aggressive form of cancer and its hard to handle. God Bless you all God Bless
Be strong sweet babies. The Good Lord has his arms around y’all!
❤️
Amen🙏🏼
Prayers and love to your whole family. 🙏🙏🙏
Continued prayers for peace and comfort for Miss Cindy and your family 🙏 Hospice is a blessing ❤ it takes a special person to be a Hospice Nurse ❤ spend as much time lovin on and talking to you precious Grandmother that will mean so much to you and her ❤
My mother passed in April at the age of 93.
She had struggled with so many health issues, and severe pain over her lifetime.
Her passing was more relief than grief for her family.
❤️❤️❤️
I can tell by your facial expressions and body language that this is terribly painful for you. I lost my dear sister at the end of March to COPD and lung cancer, and it went terribly fast. I’m still grieving badly. I’m so sorry for all of you. I know how much it hurts. Praying for peace for all of you. ❤️
My granny went from cooking meals to bed ridden in a flash due to an aneurism. They drained the fluid from her brain enough that we got to talk to her, we had medical options for treatment, but she just said “take me home”. So we all had our chances to talk to her and tell her how much we loved her. We took her home, hospice came in and walked her last two weeks with us. They were such a blessing. Granny went peacefully in her bed with her windows opening and the birds singing. It was what she wanted. It was hard on us but I am so thankful for the peace. I’ll be praying for your family.
Hospice people are truly earth angels! My heart goes out to you and your family. 💔🙏🏼💔
I’ve been involved with passings with the help of hospice, and they are such a help and support.
My husband died of pancreatic cancer. He held on for 5 months so he could see our daughter graduate from college. He had to watch online from the hospital but he then just passed a few hours later. He had said his goodbyes and saw what he needed to see. We didn’t even get back in time but he was at peace.
A quick peaceful death with your loved ones around is a blessing.
❤️
Hospice is full of merciful angels. The pain meds help her breathe too. Thank you for the updates. I am in hospice too. I am doing pretty good really. God bless
God bless you we’ll be praying for you too ❤️
Gert ❤ Sending much love and healing vibes on this journey for you.
@@thepressleygirls ♥️
Praying for you Gert.
Sending up prayers for you, Ms Gert.
My Daughter is also a hospice nurse it takes a strong individual to do this. She chose to work in this field after we lost our Granny she was also on hospice. One of the workers told her she would be great in this field because she had such a great heart ❤️ .what a day that will be when our Savior we shell see .when we look up on his face the one who saved me with is grace. She is going home!
Praying for all of you as you walk through this time. Jesus is walking with you. ❤
My husband was only 54 when I lost him to cancer late last year. Your grandma must have been a wonderful woman and so blessed to be her age and have beautiful grandchildren standing outside crying for her. I think that’s every woman’s dream. To be a grandmother and have them all around you when you go home for good. May God give you peace. Xo
Oh girls 😢 It’s ok to cry. Hospice is so great at helping loved ones have dignity in their end of life. My brother passed on hospice in 2019 at the age of 64. Be with her and talk with her, she can hear you. My heart breaks for your family. 🙏🏻♥️
Psalm 91 my husband is preaching on tomorrow at church.
Prayer for Ms. Cindi and your family. My Mom died of cancer, we only had 9 days with her upon getting her diagnosis. Hospice was wonderful. My Mom was a True Southern Christian Lady. Mom told me she had a good life. That was a comfort. I am glad she did not suffer for months. But it does not make it any less with missing her everyday.
Miss Cindy's soul is perfect and eternal...just like God's love. So wonderful that you are with her and showing her so much love at this time. Praying for you all! 🙏🕊❤
Prayers for miss Cindy and y'all 🙏🙏🙏
As a nurse our goal is to make them comfortable as can be, you made the right decision with Hospice stepping in because now they can make her very comfortable and not suffer. I’m so sorry you are all in my prayers ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you ❤️
Praying for you and family 🙏 Thanks for being so transparent Lady's ♥
Continuing to pray❤ . Hospice is a blessing.
In the past eight years I've lost a cousin, an aunt, two uncles and my mom. Last year, my dad had cancer and survived. It's heartbreaking and you feel helpless. All we can do is turn to a higher power and let them help us. God Bless Miss Cindy and your family, Katie and Corie. My love to you all. ❤
For lack of better words, Psalms 91 became so real to me when my father passed. My daughter & I also had a "feather" experience too! Your words were so comforting to me today! I love how you all love Jesus. I am so thankful for the testimony in your lives! Praying for Ms. Cindy & you all.
My prayers of comfort for her and all the prayers for your hearts' are being sent up. My love to all of you. I delt with lung cancer with my birth mother and my husband's mother. It hurts so much. Hospice nurses must be angels. They were so good to us. Much love, Melanie
Prayers for all of you!😊🇨🇦🙏
Praying for your family, I can feel the love you ladies have for Miss Cindy.
I recently lost my Mema and she was also on Hospice care. Those nurses are definitely a God send! My family has been and will continue to pray for Miss Cindy and the family. ((((Hugs))))
Bless you girls. ❤ I remember losing my grandmother to lung cancer. Continuing to lift you all up in prayer.
I lost my dad this way. He was fixing my headlight before I left his house.
I went to California for two weeks and when I came back he was starting hospice care
I'm just trying to say I can relate and feel great sorrow for what you are feeling.
Remember where she is going.
No more sickness,pain or sorrow .
I hope she has a happy reunion and I pray for you all.
I am praying for you all. Especially for Miss Cindy. I am asking God to comfort the whole family. Hugs to you both. 😢❤
So sorry, thank you for keeping us posted. Relieved to know Miss Cindy is comfortable. Your faith and maturity is remarkable. My heart goes out to your family. Look after your Dad, he has his own grief. Love to all of you. You are all so special. God be with you. Prayers for your family.
Hospice is a God send. I took care of my mother and her 2 sisters when they had cancer. Talk to her and sing her favorite songs. She can hear. My prayers are with you and your family.
Continued prayers for Miss Cindy. I pray the Lord wraps his arms around each and everyone of you. May he give you all strength & comfort. Sending love and prayers to you all. 🙏♥️🙏
I know y'all will miss her. She knows she is loved and has been well cared for. Good job. Prayers sent and Angels sent. ❤
Katie you always manage to make me giggle (or often laugh to tears), even in such a sad time. Praying fervently for Miss Cindy and for y'all. How blessed we are when somebody's sad to see us go, truly. It is temporary, as you know and said, but it hurts. We lift you up in prayer and please tell Miss Cindy THANK YOU, from the people who admire her family so, the son she raised who cultivates such a family and girls as profoundly good as y'all are. Much love to you all.💞
Thank you so much dear friend ❤️
Death and separation of a loved one is tough. I lost my dad 20 years ago to cancer. But the hospice nurse told us even after they pass, our hearing is the last thing to go. So even after he passed, we continued to say I love you, so he would know he was sent to Heaven with our love.
I lost my Mom to Cancer in January, she was only 68. I took care of her at home with my Dad and hospice was a huge help to us. Knowing that she was saved and that we will be together again one day has been such a comfort. I love how you are pointing people Jesus through this hard time 💕
No need to apologize for being "pitiful", Katie and Corie. You're already grieving even as you reassure yourselves that Miss Cindy will soon be free from pain and in a better place. I feel enough a part of your family that this news is hitting me hard, and I just hope you can feel the hugs I'm sending your way.
Prayers for all of you, bless your heart. When you find a feather, an Angel is near by. Grandma’s are so special
Thanks for sharing
🙋♂️🐈🐈🙏
🙏🙏🙏♥️🌹
Even though this was such a bad time, the two of you were at your best...leaning on God's love and strength. You've never been more beautiful.
Always keep talking to Her cause their hearing is the last to go 😊🙏🏻❤
Thank you ❤️
My heart hurts for you all. My husband has been diagnosed this morning with lung cancer. We’ve always said his mother sends is feathers. She passed many years ago but she never fails to send us feathers just when we need a touch of faith. As I left the hospital tonight and pulled in my driveway I found two feathers on my welcome mat. Much love girls. There’s nothing more precious than the live you hold in your hearts.
I lost both parents last year, 3 months apart. I’d spent 13 years living with and caring for them. I kept them both at home until my dad was no longer able to walk or speak. We were able to engage hospice care with both of them. The most wonderful people I’ve ever met. I feel for you and found myself in tears listening to you. Your grandmother is lucky to be surrounded by such love and care. I guess I’m still looking for the peace that is supposed to come after such hard times. Keep leaning on each other. I have you in my thoughts and prayers, in the eastern part of NC. God bless.
God bless you dear friend, so sorry for your loss. We will be praying for you and family ❤️
This was the most real thing I've seen in a long time, maybe ever. I thank you both.
God bless you 🙏
I'm so sorry you're all going through this ❤
Shake your heads in unison, I Do Not Care; You girls have such strength n poise.
You’re all in my endless prayers. ♥🫶🏻♥
