I cannot believe I am posting this so soon....

last Thursday I posted we were having Hospice come in to care for my mother. Intake was Friday, Monday was to be her first nurse visit for her. ...

My mom died Monday morning. The whole weekend went by so fast... Family members began coming by Thursday. For 3 nights her kids and grand kids slept curled up in her big bed... 5 or 6 at a time. A family friend brought her 1 month old, named for my mom and she got to hold her. She actually responded to the baby...she loved her babies so....

It is wonderful that your family got to say goodbye.


May she rest in peace.

It's hard, really hard.
I'm glad your family got to gather and snuggle together, she knew she was loved for sure.

take care of you.

Thank you! It was a crazy few days when Mom passed, but has been getting better. She was living down stairs with my sister. In less then two weeks following Mom's death, my sister was back in Maine and the apartment empty. It has been a huge adjustment.

I am still working on closing out her estate and such. It has been a month now and things are getting better.

Took me a couple of years to sell my mom's house after she passed.

Really sad to hear you lost your mom. Its hard even when it's time.

Vey nice to know you are still around here sometimes.
