Im sitting here in front of my computer tonight with a heavy heart. You see, my dear mother passed away this morning, at the nursing home where she had resided for the past 1 ½ years. She just turned 91 years of age last month. My sister and I spent the past week at an around the clock bedside vigil for her. She had been in declining health for a number of years, but despite approaching deaths threshold numerous times, she would recuperate. Sort of like the cat with nine lives, but this time she didnt have the strength to fight it, and lost the battle. Watching a loved one slowly slip away is agonizing, but at least she no longer has to suffer. Thanks for indulging me with this post. The HAMBers are a compassionate group, and I felt the need to share.
I feel your pain my friend I lost my mom at age 91. Im sure each day you will think about her and that will bring a smile I know it dose for me.
Lost my parents at much younger ages. It's never easy I know but try and remember the good things and that she had a long life. Prayers going out to you and family.
We have seen so much of this lately. So very sorry for the loss of your Mom. Please take some comfort in the knowledge she had a full, long life and leaves behind family who love her and will miss her. Don
So sorry for your loss but she is in a better place now-lost my mother to cancer in 94. It was very hard to watch her decline-still miss her.
This is always sad news! I lost my mom 30 years ago at 66 years old. Please feel fortunate that you had her as long as you did. I'm sure you have many great memories as I do. Allow yourself to relive those memories, it helps! God bless.
I'm really sorry. My Mom passed away in 1998 at 80 years old. Sincerest condolences from my family to yours.
I am really for loss. My prayers go to you and your family. I lost my mother in February, 2013. oldie62
