My Mom Passed Away.

Patty, I am so sorry for your loss. I also am sorry that I was so late in commenting on your loss.
I have lost both of my parents, my mom passed in 2019 and my dad about 5 years earlier than my mom. I also lost my older sister a couple of years ago. I have my kids and my wife, thank the good Lord, but the rest of my family is now gone. It all feels a bit odd!

It all goes by way to fast...so make the best of what time you have...

Thank you Timewise,
Luckily I have many memories to draw back on. My mom was fairly spiritual so know she’ll love her new home. Now I can actually talk to her and know she’s there. Time does fly by quickly but I cherish it immensely.

Thanks seadoug,
I did looked ok after her for several years. It was bitter sweet . Some things I’d wish I could change but I can’t. Right now my mom knows all of this and will be perfectly ok with it. Now she’ll always be with me. It brings me comfort.

I too looked after my mother for 21 years after my father passed away. I'm an only child. I was with her during a very difficult 30 days as she lay dying. She passed away at 89. The sadness was still there, but there was also a sense of relief because she had been in and out of hospice for over a year. You owe it yourself to feel that sense of relief as well. 🤗

My mom died. She was 90, had full blown dementia and lived in a nursing home. She died 11 months after my dad. I’m sorry to lose her but am relieved that’s she’s no longer suffering.

Wow. 21 years is a very long time. Good for you..That must have been very difficult.
There’s definitely a huge belief. She lost a lot of weight and stopped communicating all together. It was very sad..
