In reply to the discussion: About an hour ago my mom died. [View all]MFM008
(19,803 posts)215. Dear Miles
Know your not alone. Our family will soon prepare to join you in this journey.
My mom went from a vibrant cook and social person to being mostly with just family in a home hospice situation who can barely muster the strength to use the bathroom herself.
Honest, hardworking, both my parents were military, they deserved so much better.
Your mom is still with you , remember the good times, the fun times, the laughs.The strength.
Remember to remind me the same when my time to grieve comes.
Take care of yourself now.
Peace and hugs.
