My mother Elaine Morgan passed on March 23rd, 2009 in Keller, Texas at my oldest sister's home. Some family members have told me that her passing was a blessing, and that has been a really hard thing to grasp. How can anybody's death be a blessing? Yes my mother didn't have to suffer through all of the progression of ALS, but she was tormented by it. I was geared up for a fight, and all I got was a sucker punch. All that's left is guilt, sorrow, and regrets. The doctors, and even people on this site all talk about at least having time to say your goodbyes. My advice, ALS is unpredictable.
