Hello DU! Wanted to thank everyone for the kind words about my mom's passing!

[Glamrock]

What a wonderful community! I can’t express the gratitude for the kind words, advice, stories, and love I received from this community going through that ordeal. It was a long, shitty, draining, and expensive week. You all were a buoy that helped keep me afloat! With as much as was going on, I didn’t have the time, nor the emotional strength at the time to reply to most of you. For that, I sincerely apologize. Just wanted you to all know how much your replies meant to me. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all!

Sincerely,
Glam

1. Was unconnected this weekend. Did not know.

Sorry for your loss, Glamrock! Losing a parent sucks. I've lost both many years ago.

[Glamrock]

4. That's okay buddy!

It was a true outpouring of support.

Thank you! Sorry to hear about yours!

[Deuxcents]

2. Good to hear from you and hope you are doing well 🌺

[Glamrock]

6. Yesterday was brutal!

But I think I’m all cried out now. There will be recurring moments of sadness and loss, but I think the funeral and internment dried me up. Doing much better, thank you!

3. Deepest sympathy my friend

[Glamrock]

7. Thank you Malaise!

Love you sister!

[malaise]

13. I feel so bad

I had no idea that your mom died..
Love you back

[Glamrock]

16. That's okay!

It was a good thing! She had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2019 and Lewy Body in early ‘20. I haven’t had a conversation with her in at least two years (not really) and then she couldn’t walk, couldn’t talk, didn’t recognize me, couldn’t feed herself….brutal. I’m so glad she’s been freed!

[malaise]

27. Same with dad's youngest sister

She was late 90s and didn’t recognize her kids, grandkids or any of us.
We want them free but losing those we love is still painful.
The good news is that in time the best memories remain.

[Glamrock]

9. Thank you!

Circle of life and all that, but she’s free of Lewy Body dementia. What a horrible, horrible disease.

15. Be prepared for unexpected bad moments to come

Just about the time you think you are past it, it can come back. And it will be ok again. Go with the flow
Hugs

[Glamrock]

18. Yeah. I'm sure the grieving is far from over!

But I may well be spent on tears. If I cry again, of course that’s okay, I’m not super macho guy. But her passing was actually a happy occurrence so hopefully it’ll just be moments of sadness and loss.

[Glamrock]

36. Thank you stone!

[BigmanPigman]

34. Oh no, I remember you sharing

your experience with her a few years ago. You have done so much in every way possible for a long time. She knows that you were caring for her and she loves you very much. I hope she visits you like my dad and dogs did after they died. It's very comforting and pretty damn cool, too.

[Glamrock]

37. Thank you so much, my friend!

Whether or not she visits in ethereal form, she’ll always be with me!

[MustLoveBeagles]

[Glamrock]

I hadn’t been here for awhile and vented during the deathwatch and the replies were overwhelming.

And thank you!
