(28,179 posts)Once you pass this grief stage, you will look warmly back on the times you've spent with her, knowing that you were there right up to the very end. Just typing this brings back tears from when my parents died. I was there with my father, missed my mother passage by minutes. My father passed back in 1987 and my mom 7 years ago, and I can still cry when I think about it. The memories you have of her, and the sacrifices you've made to make your mother's last days as peaceful as possible, while providing crucial companionship, will fill your heart forever. These are feelings that never go away and can be fully recalled at a moment's notice.
Please accept my deepest condolences. Stay strong my friend. The next year will be the roughest, but eventually it gets better.
