RE: My Mom Passed Away Yesterday
I'm so sorry you lost your mom. Age is only a minor 'warning' in a way, we're never really ready/prepared to say goodbye. This is a beautiful post, sharing so many bigger and smaller details of her life and how you relate to her <3 It's beautiful. I'm not sure how you'll feel today, tomorrow, or in a few months, but for now I hope you find strength to get through the first shock and sadness, and you'll be able to share even more stories and memories with all your and her loved ones.
Digital hug from me.
Hey, @soyrosa.
So very true about not being really prepared to say goodbye, regardless of the age or the signs. I am glad she's no longer suffering, and if my dad can work his way with help from the rest of us through this stage, that will be the main thing for me.
I'm okay, as far as the circumstances will allow. I came to grips a couple months ago that it was going to happen sooner than later. It took me a long time to get to that point, though, in part because I didn't know all the details. Dad kind of spoonfed them, either because he didn't want to say it, or he thought it would be better if I got there on my own. Can't blame him at all if either is the case. He's never been the one relaying information, either. That was mom.
Yes - your dad will have the hardest blow for now, I truly hope you all can be supportive of each other.
I'm glad to hear you're okay, and whatever comes your way in the form of feelings or maybe even the idea of 'I have peace with it', it's all okay, just take the time to observe/feel whatever there is. Might come soon, might come later than you expect. Sometimes the first time we don't really realize what's happening.
Anyway, stay strong.
