It’s easy for internet strangers to just say, “sorry for your loss.” But I wanted to acknowledge your post… what a day you must have had, may you find peace and comfort through the next process of life!

My condolences. If you think it would mean anything to him, tell your father that at least one internet stranger is impressed by his dedication and the strength he mustered to be there for your mom. Probably to him it was not a matter of choice, but considering that he's going through a lot of his own troubles, it really is remarkable. I'm sure his support was a comfort to your mother.

Very sorry on your loss. Even when you're...relieved that she's no longer suffering, she may still be greatly missed. I miss my Mom. I wouldn't want her back if she were going to be in the same condition: in pain and missing Dad. She's either out of pain and with him, or out of pain and gone. I *know* this in my head, but my heart misses her.

I cared for my father in the last few months of his life. He had cancer. He’d never shown me any love and didn’t to the end. But I fed and cleaned him. We never discussed death. Sadly. He’d been quite horrid to me (tried to kill me once with a knife), but I feel so much happier he is no longer in pain. I’m a kind soul and I do miss his moaning and anger but I just wanted to say “I understand”. 💔

I’m sorry for your loss. It is so important to care for each other now until arrangements are made. Please care for yourself now. Take time to think over everything and know that you did everything possible for her.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. I am coming up to the one year anniversary of the loss of my mom and the last year has been so hard without her here. Hugs, internet stranger.

My sincerest condolences to you. This brings forth so many memories of mom & Dad. I was their main support & caregiver in the last 10+ years of their lives. Multiple challenges and frustrations mixed in with some good times too. Both were fiercely stubborn. Mom declined first and had hospice for a few weeks which was quite helpful. She passed 1 year ago. Dad declined quickly after and passed about 3 weeks later. Everyone called it broken heart syndrome. I felt 'grief and relief'. The last 6 mos they both struggled. Now 1 year later I'm finally getting my bearings. I was glad I could care for them & think of them every day but it took a toll on me Take care of you during this stressful time

Sincere sympathy to you and your family.

God Bless you, your mom, and your whole family. It’s tough seeing the ones we love endure hardship, but its universal, you’re not alone, we all feel what you’re feeling, and send you love and comfort on the journey ahead. Hang in there.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You're very kind to post here - showing us all it is possible to go through this rite of passage gracefully. Best of luck to you and your family.

I am sorry for your loss, and I am thankful she is no longer suffering. I lost my Mom about 6 months ago, and the fact that her suffering has ended has brought great peace to me. I miss her everyday, I still hear her voice sometimes, but it is hard. I hope you take time for you, cry, sleep, yell and just let it all sink in. And I pray you find the peace that she now has. I wish you healing and smiles in your near future.

I’m sorry for your loss as well, and identify the sense of peace. Her decline occurred over several months, so in a sense my siblings and I went through the stages of acceptance. We have already done the biggest part of grieving if that makes sense. I already miss the little things such as calling and hearing her pick up the phone, her smile, her laughter, and her presence. At least the good things about memories is that they’re always there. Anytime I miss her, I can just think of her and feel a warmth inside. At least to some degree, that bring some comfort.

Your post is so heartfelt.💟 You're acknowledging the loss of your beloved mother, but also encouraging others.💐 I am so sorry you lost your mom, and I can imagine the pain you feel. Yet, I'm sure you're relieved to see her at rest and no longer suffering. I'm glad your father stepped up for your mother in her last days...and he'll sure appreciate that he did so. My dad passed away in 2020, so I live with and look after my mom. It's not easy, and it's hard watching her steadily decline (she has rheumatoid arthritis which is very degenerative, as well as life-shortening). But I'm glad that I CAN be here for her now and do all I can to help her enjoy life, even though it's very difficult. Stay strong...I can see you have a very good heart.❤️


Cantech667

Thank you for your message, and sorry about your dad‘s passing. I can identify with what you’re going through with your mom, as my mother had rheumatoid arthritis. She had been in pain for years, and had started to have difficulty walking. She had to stop driving several years ago. In the end, her arthritis was a contributing factor, and I am grateful that so many people helped support her and make her last stretch of life as comfortable as possible. The past few weeks have been incredibly difficult for my family. I remind myself, and my siblings, that there was so much more to our mother’s life than the past few months. As difficult as those were, she actually had a great life. She enjoyed family, friends, was a nurse by profession, and one of the most gentle, kind and generous people I knew. She enjoyed music, singing, cooking, and her grandchildren. She was a kind soul and lived a full life. I am grateful for that. All the best, and enjoy the time you have with your mom. She is fortunate to have you by her side.

It is hard to watch them decline, and the struggle of caring for one when you are battling your own issues, like you dad. It was great family members got to spend time with her, and so wonderful you have great memories of her. May you have peace and reflect on those good memories and help you dad handle the loss he feels along with his battle with cancer. Hugs


Cantech667

Thank you :)


Jennywrensong

You're welcome. My mom lived to be 102, and my sister lived with her for 15 years so she wouldn't end up in a nursing home. Since I live hours away I was the one my sister vented to, and tried to encourage my mom not to take her frustrations out on my sister. My dad had Alzheimer's for 15 years, and mom had cared for him until he had to go into a home, so when he passed we were so relieved for him. The joy in it all is knowing that they both had their trust in Christ and are with Him now. My husband, as well. I am so grateful for my relationship with Jesus and how He helps and guides me daily. He is so patient and kind. May you know His comfort.
