Sorry to hear about your mother.

You're in the thoughts of many here at the DIS.

WillyJ I knew you were a good guy from the first time I read one of your Nyquil/Corn posts years ago. (even though it was that start of you taking away my #1 DIS ranking ) From reading your recent posts I could tell you are an exceptional son. I still miss my protector, my friend, my hero, my mother and it’s been 8 years. She was a fighter all of her life right up until the end. My father died in a tragic accident falling off of a roof when I was 3 years old, my brothers were 5 and 7 years old. She sacrificed everything for us, never going out, never buying anything nice for herself. Always making sure we had everything the other neighborhood kids had. Taught us how to do everything from throwing a mean curve ball to hanging wallpaper. Always steering us in the right direction in life. I do still miss her but I always smile and get a warm feeling inside of my heart when I think about her. I am sure you will too. (thinking about your mom not mine ) Sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and your family my friend.

The funeral guy read this poem at my mother’s grave. (it didn’t help.. I still wept)

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep - Poem by Mary Elizabeth Frye

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Thank you so much Charlie. . . it's good to hear from an old friend at a time like this.

Your mother sounds like she was an exceptional woman, and so was mine.

I'll be okay, but right now it hurts like hell.

May your mother rest in peace.

Losing a parent is always hard, no matter the circumstances. I am so sorry.

I woke up this morning and looked in on my mother and she had passed on.

She was 82 and had Alzheimers and other health issues and her body just gave out finally.

I knew it was coming and I know it was for the best but I'm still heart broken.

I've lost my dad, my brother, and now my mom.

Any good thoughts and/or prayers would be appreciated.

I'm sorry for your loss

I'm so sorry for your loss.

 

[lesliekatya]

I'm so sorry. My prayers are with you.

I thought I would feel some kind of sense of relief that I didn't have to fight her to eat, fight her to drink water, fight her to take her meds. take her to the bathroom, change her ostomy, change her diapers. . .

But my god, I wish I still had her here to do those things.

You make me cry.

 

[TB'sWidow]

So sorry for your loss, prayer to you an your family to have the strength to get through

I just poured myself a nice rum and coke and thought of you. It sounds like you and your mom were very close and I think that speaks volumes of what kind of man you are. Let it all out, it will make your head ache worse than anything you can imagine but it is what you need to do. Your family coming will help too.

I hope that my children are strong enough to care for me the way you have cared for your mom.
