Thank you. This has been such a shock to us all. I don't think she suffered. At least, I hope the shock of what was happening numbed the pain for her. But I know she must have been so mad that it was happening at all.

And it's so hard watching my poor dad deal with everything. They have been together since freshman year of high school--44 years. His health has been precarious in recent years, whereas she (after coming close with death a couple of years ago in a freak accident) was getting healthier. She was down to 150lbs and was teaching exercise classes. We had no reason to suspect the terrible heartburn she had last weekend and the dizziness and lightheadedness the night before she died to be symptoms of heart troubles. I wish, when she'd had her physical a few weeks ago, they'd drawn some blood and checked her heart enzyme levels.

I think that a number of things may have been going on that explain why this happened, at least in the metaphysical sense:

1) My parents had an agreement that whoever went first would go in the arms of the other one. My dad wasn't there when she flipped her car off the causeway, so she walked away from it. He was there on Friday, though, so he was able to hold her in his arms and watch the light go out of her eyes. It is amazing that it didn't happen in her sleep, or when she was starting the car, or on her way to work. But everything was timed so perfectly that they could be together.

2) My own thought is that when she flipped off the causeway she was given some choices: go now, have another 15 so-so years, or almost 3 great ones. Obviously she opted for the last one.

3) I also wonder if she knew, at some level, that my dad is so ill that he might not be here much longer, didn't want to deal with tying up all the loose ends, and very much wanted to be with him again soon. So she just left first. (His BP the morning she went was something like 210 over 120. It's a miracle that he didn't just have a stroke and follow her, but the ambulance crew was keeping an eye on him even as they worked on her. It would not surprise me in the least, after we have set up her scholarship fund and fixed up the house to rent out to teachers who need an affordable year-round home, and sorting out what needs to be done when dad goes... that he will in fact, go. Not on purpose... but... it could happen. He may just be hanging in there out of sheer willpower right now.

 

i'm very sorry to hear that. she's happy in heaven, she isn't suffered.
for God is your shelter, your life is in Him. so you don't have to worry!
i'll pray for you and your dad and your family.

God Bless You
