perfect1---yes, my youngest son is flying in from Germany (he's an MP in the Army) to be with me and my niece will be there. She's an ex-jw now also. So we three will be together. Thank goodness because if I was alone I may just drink something before the service and break out in an Air Supply song at the KH!!!!

My mother passed away this morning...
by Tatiana infor any old-school ex-jws here that remember my many posts about my abusive jw mother and my sister committing suicide because of it...she passed away this morning because she began to bleed out and refused a transfusion.
she had been in the hospital for a month.
it appears she suffered a stroke and wasn't found by the brothers & sisters for three days (they missed her at the meetings).

I haven't even left for the airport and it's begun.
My niece and I are not going to be allowed to speak at the service. Songs I picked out that I knew my mother loved--Tom Jones, Dusty Springfield, Dr. Zhivago, Air Supply, will not be allowed. Only Kingdom songs.My brother was asked if he wanted to be included in the obit and he replied definitely NOT (yes he is still bitter and angry) but my uncle said he didn't care and put his name in anyway.
I don't feel like fighting these people so I'm just going to let whatever happen...I'll just release my letter and balloon and be done.

Thanks ((((JIM TX))))) Miss you!
Doesn't it all seem so sad? To wait and wait your entire life for some miracle to make you young again instead of doing all you can to make yourself healthy while you are HERE on earth? My mother refused to take her high blood-pressure medication and also I found out she was prescribed a blood thinner but refused to take that as well. My niece said coumadin was prescribed but for some reason my mother said the society frowned on it because of the bleeding issue. I've never heard of that 'rule' before. Strange.

What Was Your Favorite TV/Movie Moment Or Line?
by minimus ini loved taxi with (alex) judd hirsch and his fellow cabbies.
one of the funniest lines involved reverend jim trying to get a license.
"what does a yellow light mean"?, jim quietly asks.

As for the letter...I've decided to finish it and release it with a balloon at the KH burial service.

Thank you all for the legal advice and encouragement. It really means a lot right now. I spoke to my niece this morning about the will and she says she found one from 1989 in my mother's possessions signed by a lawyer and leaving everything to me, my brother, the two oldest granddaughters, and the KH equally. No mention of my uncle and my niece says that is probably why he won't show what he has to anyone. She is going to show it to him today and get back to me. My mother didn't have much. I really don't care about her belongings...only pictures of me and my sis as babies. It's just the principle that he wouldn't even call me and will not show anyone the will he says he has. That's really fishy. I'm not going to fight though. If what little she had means that much to him then by all means take whatever and feel good about it. I've been fighting for so long and I don't care anymore.
The funeral is Dec 1st. I am in the process of packing for a 3000 mile trip to SC from Seattle. My son in the military in Germany is also getting leave with his wife to attend. Whether or not they will let him in the KH with his military uniform I don't know. I guess we'll see.
lie is too short--I completely understand what you went through. Because my niece wasn't the one who found my mother my uncle made her feel like it was all her fault and that she was uncaring even though she told my uncle that my mother told her when she was at my mom's cleaning up that she didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore. I hate the way they try to twist things around.
somebody!!! Thank you so much! ((((hugs)))) Tell zev thank you also!

Thank you all for the kind words...you don't know what it means to be able to come here and 'talk' to you because you are the only ones who truly understand. I have nowhere else to vent. Thank you for being here...

For any old-school ex-JWs here that remember my many posts about my abusive JW mother and my sister committing suicide because of it...she passed away this morning because she began to bleed out and refused a transfusion. She had been in the hospital for a month. It appears she suffered a stroke and wasn't found by the brothers & sisters for three days (they missed her at the meetings). She was alone in her apartment because she told my niece (who recently left the organization for the second time) that she never wanted to see her again or have anything to do with her. My niece was the only one who went to help her clean her place and take her shopping (she was 79 and not in good health) and as soon as my mother was convinced my niece wasn't going to back to the KH she kicked her to the curb. Yet my niece (a nurse) went to her anyway after she had the stroke and fed her in the hospital, bathed her, and took care of her.
My mother's only brother left alive, my Uncle Jim (anointed) drove up from Atlanta and the first thing he asked my niece was where her bank account info was and if she had life insurance. This was before she was even thought to be critical. He then proceeded to go to my mother's apartment and give away all of her things...even her car and also the antique furniture my niece had loaned her...to the people at the KH. He claims she had a will but will not show it to anyone. I was her only daughter left and the oldest daughter yet I didn't deserve the courtesy of a call from him asking if I wanted a simple photograph.
It also appears that in her last hours she wasn't the same...wasn't in her 'right mind' according to my niece. Although I choose to believe that niceness WAS her right mind and not the other way around...The 'hatefullness' was gone and she was very nice and pleasant and asking for me...me...the daughter she said was evil and demonized and who she hadn't seen for 20 years. I live over 3000 miles away and was trying to get a plane ticket but it was not in time. She will be cremated and buried at the KH in Andrews, SC next to my grandmother. I am trying to arrange things so I can be at the funeral. As much as I will hate to step foot in that KH with so many bad memories, I need to be there.
Each year I put off writing my mother a letter...I kept telling myself I had time to write her and let her know I forgave her for all the beatings, all the abuse, all the humiliation...now it is too late. What saddens me most is that she was STILL waiting for Armageddon. Still waiting for that new body, that youthful figure and everlasting life...so much so that she threw away her entire family...grandchildren, son, daughters, husbands...for a false dream and a despicable religion. The sadness is overwhelming....sadness for a wasted life, sadness for my children who were abused by her also and only one of them wants to attend the funeral with me...sadness for my only brother who hates her so much he refuses to care at all...a deep and empty sadness for another loss of life because of a false religion's interpretation of the Bible. Just sadness...

This is horrible. I've been reading some of the facebook pages dedicated to this girl and I feel ill. I also found a court doc here... media.oregonlive.com/gresham_impact/other/holt1.pdf
