She stopped eating on Wednesday and stopped drinking on Thursday. She passed away on Saturday night around 11:15PM.
I went on my respite trip for one night, but came back Saturday afternoon. I spent the afternoon with my Mom. I was with her when she took her last breath and I am so blessed that I got to hold her hand.
I miss her terribly, but she was in pain and was asleep for a week before she passed. She went peacefully.
Now to plan her funeral.
Thanks to everyone that answers questions and helps people on here.
I am scared of what the future holds. My life was my Mom.
My family is being difficult regarding the funeral service.
I am compromising to make them happy, but if you give people an inch they will take a mile!
Pending things that need to be taken care of:
Flowers
Location for a possible viewing on Saturday
This grieving process is hard enough and family telling you that the service you have planned for your Mom is , "Half-assed," definitely doesn't make it easier. I gave my Mom the best in life.
I think they forget that I lost MY MOM, and not their sister or aunt.....MY MOM!
I’m so sorry for your loss. Give yourself time to grieve. Then, when it feels right, go and rediscover what it’s like to be alive.
