Soooo......my Mom is dying.

I lost my mother at age 19 a long time ago. So I can’t really comment on losing a mom. We didn’t get along and she wasn’t a nice person so I didn’t really feel badly. I did after my dad died in 1985. He was a wonderful man. I still think of him every day. My best friend of over 45 years died in 2019. I loved her dearly. She was in hospice for a few weeks and visiting her every day was one of the meaningful experiences I’ve ever had. I got reacquainted with her sons and I promised her I would watch out for them which I am doing. Our last words to each other was I love you.

When she died her son called me at 6 am and I was there by 7. Her sister came and the two of us took off her gown and dressed her in clothes that we know she would like, scarf and all. Then we escorted her to the elevator. I’m only telling you all this because it was a moment that I will never forget. I think I was afraid of death until then I was so honored to be a part of this experience.
 

So many hugs for you Kitty :hug:
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers my friend :hug:
 
My God Kitty, I am so, so sorry. Losing a loved one is never easy. Just take comfort in knowing that you were in her life and if you are anything like you come across as in these forums, she has been a very lucky lady.
 
So sorry to hear this. I wish your mom and the entire family comfort during this time. Be gentle with yourself through this and through your grief- it's much easier said than done, but I encourage you to have patience with and compassion for yourself while grieving.
 
I know quite the Click bait type of title.

I'm telling you because even though most of you are complete strangers still after all these years, this place is more comforting than the dramatics of family and their reactions.

My Mom is 93 and death will be her friend after a horrible year of suffering.

Timing......going into Mother's Day weekend with flowers in bloom and sunshine still dancing on the many gardens she tended next door to my house......is perfect. Just saying. (Tulips being her favorite)

Thank you for reading. You are very important; my DIS people. :love:
I’m so sorry. Sending hugs your way Kitty. You are in my prayers.❤️
 
Your DIS family is embracing you and your family at this difficult time. Beautiful picture you painted of sunshine dancing on manicured (by your mothers hand) gardens. Doesn't matter what time of year, or at what age, the death of a beloved parent is very difficult. May you be embraced virtually by your DVC family and in person by all that treasure you, your family, and your Mom.

My dad died last year and it was totally unexpected. The nurse at the hospital also lost her dad around that time and said to me, "you will never be the same, but you will be ok." When I heard those words, I felt both heartbroken and comforted - weird, right? I still remember her words and it brings me right back to his hospital room.

Thinking of you and your family.
 
((hugs)) so sorry to read this but what a blessing to have had your mom for so long ❤️ I lost my mom when I was 20
