My mother died.

[usnuzuloose]

Just checking in on you....

 

[OnceUponATime15]

Popping in to see how you are doing today.
Willy, Your Mom sounds like my Mom. I am also at the mercy of my Mom's wishes and a DNR. There's isn't a more helpless feeling then when you are honouring their wishes and your heart just wants a small miracle so you can keep them with you longer.

You have shown such grace under such difficult circumstances. Mom is no doubt watching over you and is both proud and thankful for her caring & compassionate Son.

I'm guessing your family is there today helping you out and keeping you company. And a lot of good thoughts from your DIS family.

Thank you.

Actually my niece couldn't get out of work early like she hoped- she's a RN and won't be off until 10pm and it's pouring rain, so we agreed they'd just wait and come over in the morning.

Which is fine; I'm very much looking forward to seeing them, but I'm emotionally wiped out right now, and I'm okay with just hanging out with the dogs, having a couple drinks, and hopefully getting a good nights sleep.


It's hard, but I'm enduring.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. You are in my thoughts.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my dad many years ago; he was only 54. Praying for you- comfort in knowing that she is truly at peace.

I'm so very sorry for your loss and sending you good thoughts and prayers.

I'm sorry for your loss. My extremely vibrant and healthy mom passed in November after being diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer. I'm now the caretaker of my dad, 10 years into an Alzheimer's diagnosis. He has a live in caregiver (who has issues of her own, I'm babysitting two adults, plus I have five kids), and looking at the progression of the disease, I wish he had the cancer. It is such a horrible disease, your mom has been released from its grip.

The past year plus has just worn me down to nothing; I couldn't imagine doing it with 5 kids to take care of too.

Bless you. . .

I'm so sorry for your loss. We just went through this with my mother in law in August. DH and his one sister moved her to a new apartment closer to his sister, the only one she was really letting take care of her, on a Sunday and on Friday when she went to bring her dinner, she was gone. She was only 67. COPD and still a heavy smoker.

Two police officers came too. They both could not have been kinder. They asked some basic questions, but then they sat with me and talked me through what I had to do, and the male officer even hugged me and literately let me cry on his shoulder.

I wondered if you had the police come. When my dad died at home, the police had to come and stay until the funeral home came to pick him up. It kind of unnerved my mom but they couldn't have been nicer.

I did the right thing, but it was so hard and it will haunt me for the rest of my life.

Try not to let it. She made the decision and you honored it.

Hope you get through this day by day.

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.

Dear Willy J.
I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I can only hope that - even though we have never met - it helps that so many here think of you as part of their family...including me. So here's another from your family sending you condolences, thoughts, prayers, hugs and love to help you during this sad time.

 

[spinandmarty]

so sorry for your loss, I was in the same place you are now 13 months ago, just treasure the memories, I am not one to say it gets easier as time goes by, I miss mom and think about her everyday.... but you do learn how to be more excepting of the loss.... my prayers to you.....

 

[maxaroni]

Heading on vacation tomorrow but you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am looking out in the direction of OK and raising my glass! You're a good son, sir. We are all putting you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

 

[Diznotyzed]

I hope seeing Erin and Sophia Grace will bring you great comfort. I bet you are as amazing an uncle as you are a son.

 

[PlainJane]

I am so sorry for your loss. I have prayed for you. I hope and pray you receive comfort during this time. I know you will continue to miss her and some pain will remain, but I hope you can move forward blessed by the time you had with her on this earth and I hope you will see her, your dad, and your brother again in heaven someday. I'm glad you will be able to spend time with your nieces.

 

[tcufrog]

I hope you're eating and taking care of yourself. It's so easy to neglect yourself right now but you're not doing anyone any good if you do that.

 

[mrsheppo]

Just checking in to see how you are doing today. Hope that sweet little niece puts a smile on your face.

 

[King Schultz]

I just heard from my niece and she and the baby and my SIL are on the way from Arkansas and should be here in a couple hours.

It will be so good to see them.
