Dear Chris
please accept my sincere condolences. My mother passed away 10 years ago and it took a lot of emotional support to get my father out of his slump. Even after 10 years , he still has bad days. My sister too, she is still mourning.
Look after them
All the best - Joe

Thank you all for your kind words. Joe, it sounds like you have concerns as I do, my dad and sister. My mom was the glue to bring us back to Hacienda Heights for Mother's, Father's days, as well as Christmas and maybe Easter. My brother, sistere and I have 70 miles plus to get there, we have them surrounded. However, my sister is concerned that with mom gone, our family gatherings will go away. I have to find a way to not let that happen, for I know she could be right if we do not act.
My brother said that I handle things like water off a duck's back. He is somewhat correct. I am more relieved that mom is not suffering anymore. I cannot resolve in my own mind how it must be for some of you who watch many years go by as your loved ones deteriorate slowly. My heart sinks for you.
I sobbed after I reviewed my post and then I posted it. I believe this to be therapeutical. Hearing other's stories similar (very surprisingly) helps me to know that we are not alone in our griefs.
BF is a community, and very much like a family. I will never use the phrase "Do not take it seriously, it is just the internet." The internet exists because real people are behind the text. It is a digital voice, and this digital voice can be used to bless or curse.
Thank you all for blessing me so much.

Chris,
My condolences. I lost my mother two years ago to COPD. During the last few months she battled to get out of the hospital, made it, and then battled to get home from the nursing home. She almost made it, too. I'm glad that your mother got to pass at home and spend some time with her family.

I'm very sorry to hear of this Chris. It's always hard to lose someone who is close, but I'm glad you were able to make the most of what time she had left. I truly believe that the best way to honor a person in death is to celebrate his or her life. From your description of her it sounds like she definitely had a life worth celebrating. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of grief.
Chris,
Your words are wonderfully thoughtful and arranged. It takes a very certain decency and genuineness to write these thoughts and post these photos. You did your Mom and family very proud. My hat's off to you sir. I was really moved by your post.
I, too, enjoy the membership of a very close and loving family and can only imagine what you have been through since the onset of your Mom's sickness. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family, and stay extra close to Dad and your sister. It sounds like they will need a little extra support for a while.
God bless,
Jeff
