So sorry for your loss. Went through a similar ending when my brother passed from cancer. Really takes a huge toll having that parade of people come through. I can relate on that, though it’s been a few years since my brother passed.

I’m lucky enough to have both my parents with me, but my mom just got diagnosed with Alzheimer’s so the idea of parental mortality has been heavy on my mind. I suppose it’s a natural thing, we all go through it, but damn, it’s not easy. I’ve personally been reeling from the diagnosis and trying to come to terms with the fact that my mom will be going downhill until she eventually passes. I don’t know if there is a good way to process this stuff, I guess it just takes time.

I sincerely hope you can put one foot in front of the other and get through this. Good luck!

Very sorry for your loss. I think in the coming days and years, you will cherish the last two months with her in-home and the never ending parade of family and friends.

Prayers and condolences Blazer. This has been a terrible year for many. Our mother is days away from passing also. Stopped all fluids Monday. Dementia is a terrible thing to witness. She's on morphine and a couple other meds every four hours. There were three sisters left, all in their 90's, first was January, second passed April, and now we're just waiting for the third...my dear 93-year-old mother. And on top of that, I'm the executor, oldest of five siblings...and one family member is going to be potentially homeless, house is trashed and there is an outstanding mortgage that needs addressed. Please forgive me for hijacking this thread.

Lost my mom in 2018 then my dad in 2020. I know that 'indescribable' feeling. It will be rough for a while, but you will get through it. Prayers for you and your family.

I'm sorry to hear this news. I'm glad, that your Mum was able to go out, on her own terms.
