Reply #58: Of course she came home

[Sheltiemama]

If she could be anyplace in the world, where would she want to be? Back home with you and her children. I think our loved ones stay close to us after they cross that thin veil. Death doesn't sever that connection.

Two months ago, my 27-year-old cousin, who had been treated for bone cancer, died, also of massive infections. I tell you this to reassure you that you did all you could, and Stacey's doctors did all they could. Your accounts of Stacey's hospitalization were extremely similar to my cousin's. Their bodies simply didn't have the resources remaining to fight such aggressive infections. Everything was done that could be done. I do hope you know that.

I can't put into words how very sorry I am. You and your family will continue to be in my prayers.
