mercman Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 I lost my Mom about an hour ago. Well actually, i lost her in June when Dimentia began creeping between us. It crept into her mind quietly, but very very quickly.Robbing her of her of her memory, and ability to do what most of us take for granted.Think. Last Christmas she was weak, but still sharp as a tack, February we notice that she got confused easily,April she began forgeting things she did and said hours before, June she couldnt take care of herself.The Docs began to play with her Meds,trying to find the right combination to slow down her rapid deterioration, but were unable to do anything.She became chair bound and spent the next 4 months waiting for a long term care facility.Finally, last week she was transfered to her new home. She passed tonite quietly from an aparent heart attack. So now i find myself parentless, and feeling kinda lost. When Dad passed, there was always Mom. Now they will both live forever in my memories. In Loving memory Emma Elsie Brule Douglas Robert White I love you both dearly.Rest easy. Your kids Paul Douglas White Brian Robert White Janice Marlene White

Cherish all that was beautiful in your mother. Remember the love she had for you. That is thr greatest tribute you can give to her memory.

irishfield Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 Sorry to hear this Paul and know the gut wrench well. The good of it is she's now in a better place than living the evil hell of dimentia. Reflect on the days pre Christmas last year and find some smiles in there. I'm sure, as you give it some thought, it'll be easy to find more than a few!
woodenboater Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) My sincere condolences Paul. Losing the second parent can be one of the toughest things anyone will ever experience. You're going to see her in your dreams now and then and as someone told me, this is her way of checking up on you and to let you know that she's ok and not to worry.
