I just lost my beautiful mom in such a tragic horrific way, and I am so devastated how she suffered in the hospital and that her beautiful smiles and kind gentleness is no longer with me. I cry everyday . I lost beautiful mama a week ago at 89.
John Barry and Nancy Dynes, you two are earth angels. Loving and caring for another is why we are here. thank you for taking such good care of your Mamas. sending peace...
Hi Nancy, quick story about my mother and her sense of humor. She had dementia, lost most of her memory. One morning I went into her room, and asked her..."Mom, what is your name?" (did this to get her memory started)....she thought for a few moments and said "Frances, my name is Frances"....I said, "That's right, your name is Frances. Now what's my name?"...She looked at me, pointed her finger and said...."I'm calling you stupid"....I said..."What?"...she said, "Anyone who can't remember their own name is stupid".....LOL She still had it.
After my mother passed I attended a 13 week class of a group called "Grief Share". You can find meetings in almost every town or city. You meet with others who have also suffered a loss. This group got me through the worst of it.
I was my mother's caregiver, for 7 years my world was built around her. The rest of my family did little or nothing to help. 3 times she was in the hospital or nursing care (for a couple of months at a time). Not one person in my family went to visit her. They just didn't want to be bothered. They don't understand why I've been grieving over the loss for 2 years. Their lives were not invested in caring for her. Mine was.
I miss her so much.
I had been my mother's caregiver for 7 years. I stopped working in 2005 to be her caregiver. I think those 7 years were the most rewarding of my life.
