My mom passed last week on Tuesday, July 14th.
Her last 5 years were were very sad. It broke our hearts watching her suffer. She barely finished treatments/radiation for breast cancer and had to have a quadruple bypass, valve replaced and one repaired. She had pulmanory hypertension after open heart. Mom also has had diabetes for a long time. Right after her bypass, my dad passed a month later and three months after that my sister. My sister lived at home with them.
She was okay but most of her time was spent in the doctors' offices, ER and had hospital stays for various reasons. She had been declining the last few months. She was such a good patient, person and always fair. One who never interfered. She never complained. She will be missed by many.
Even though I am busy right now sorting out everything - I have such a hole in my heart. An emptiness that many know and have gone through. I guess now that my sister (which killed us all) and both my parents are not here - it feels strange not to take care of someone, spend time with, answer to, look up to.
I know she is in a better place and not suffering anymore. I know she is with God and my dad, sister and all her loved ones (siblings, etc.) that have passed before her.
RIP MOM - Always and forever in my heart.
