Hard day to face
Today at about 4 pm my Mother passed away. She has been ill with breast cancer since Christmas eve. She moved to my house almost 4 weeks ago and the last 4 days have been really hard to deal with.
She isn't suffering anymore. She had about 27 hours of real struggle. I wouldn't wish that type of pain and struggle on anyone. so glad it is over for her.
We talked some today and she heard what I had to say and I told her to let go. She finally did.
Lesson for everyone make plans ahead of time. I have worked at getting her affairs in order for 5 years. She didn't want to face things, but in her own way. We worked at her will and her wishes and she was pleased but it took a lot to face all this.
Now I have to work on getting the house finished up and try and recover my house. Chris

We are never prepared for the loss of a parent even when it is inevitable. You did a good job helping her get her affairs in order. Take care of yourself now, get rest.
Your mother was lucky to have you by her side when she needed someone....never easy when the time comes..healing thoughts are for your family....
so so sorry for your loss Chris. It is never easy to think about the end of our lives. You were very supportive of your Mom when she needed you. Take care of yourself and may you find comfort and peace in the coming months.
hugs
Chris sorry for your loss. I went through similar with my Dad. It is never easy even if you know it is eventual. Think on the positive, she is no longer in pain, she is at peace. Sending lots of hugs.
Chris, I'm sorry for your loss. You were a good caregiver and now it is time to care for yourself. Yes, I know there are a million things to do at the end.I know, as I lost my husband and we are never really ready for the end. My prayers are with you.
so sorry for your loss
Just reading this as I have been traveling for the past couple weeks. I know how hard it is is to lose your parents and especially when you've been so close in being the caregiver. I hope you find peace in knowing that you gave and did so much for (and with) your mom. I hope that as you sort through things that you find many memories and rejoice in those times. My thoughts and prayers are with you...
