Journeying Towards Whatever Comes Next

Email from Erica to Family and Friends:

It is with great sorrow that I tell you that my mom is now in a coma
and could pass away at any time.  It could be tonight, or several days
from now.  It's hard to say.  Basically, she just didn't get better as
we had hoped, and we believe that the cancer must have spread into her
bone marrow, thereby causing her platelet levels to continue dropping.

Thankfully, she has seemed very peaceful, and has not been in a lot of
pain.  My family is blessed to have wonderful friends around us
offering comfort and love.  I ask that you send courage and love to my
mom as she makes this journey towards whatever comes next.  Thank you
again for all of your kind words.  I know I haven't always responded
but please know that I received your emails and greatly appreciated
them.  The love of friends truly helps to counteract the feelings of
fear and lonliness that I am experiencing as I lose my mom.

Love,
Erica
