My Fairy Godmother (my therapist of many years) is dying. The results of the biopsy of the liver tumor are inconclusive, but that doesn't matter. She went into the hospital around New Year's and her salt and potassium levels were very low. She is now at hospice where they are trying to keep her comfortable as she is in severe pain.
I have known her since I was 16 - half my life. I am truly blessed to have had her in my life and I am who I am today in large part because of her influence. I am alive today because of her.
I miss her already. I knew that this would come eventually, she's 85 years old, after all, but I didn't want it to come ever.
My Fairy Godmother's name is Mary. She taught me and so many others how to live. Please take a moment to pray that her pain will ease and that she will be at peace soon.

I am glad you have found comfort in her, and so sorry that she is so ill. May she be as comfortable as possible.
Thank you for your comment on my blog.
Speaking of loss, I am so sorry you are losing your friend/therapist. The relationship with a therapist is so close, almost sacred. Mother/grandmother/aunt/friend/etc.
I'm sure she knows how much you and other love her.
I'm so sorry. It's so hard losing someone close to us--when they have given us so much.
I am so sorry. I'm thinking of you both and wishing you peace.

Sorry to learn about Mary. I hope she doesn't suffer too much, or you either.
I will definitely keep your Fairy in my prayers... It's a tough time for you both, and I'm sure every bit helps (even from a stranger)!
I'm sure that she is surrounded by loving people, like yourself, and will find comfort in that.

I am so incredibly sorry, sweetie. Words fail and this has been such a hard year for you.
Praying for the both of you! This has got to be incredibly difficult for you. I am have had a therapist I truly adored pass away also. It is heartbreaking. May the Lord bless you and ease Mary's pain.
