Off to be with her mom

[mikieson]

My mom passed away this afternoon.After struggling with COPD for years and having issues. She is finally at rest and struggling no longer. Its sad,but at the same time a relief to not see her struggle,be depressed,sad,and unhappy. After her mom died in 2003 and lost her job of 30 years all in the same month or so,it took her down from there. Her mom and her were together for life. I know how hard it was for me to lose my Gma "her mom" so I know it hurt her more. She was perfection..My mom was just as much..Great women. I never missed having a dad because I was surrounded by so much love..Its hard knowing that the very last person to truly love me on this earth no matter what is gone. Talk about a feeling of being alone.. Love ya mom..give Gma a big hug and be ready when I die cause im gonna give you 2 the biggest hug ever.

thanks so much everyone..i know we arent alone in this. People lose loved ones millions a day..SO my sympathies go out to everyone. Went to her house this morning to get a couple things for funeral "vcr,tapes,etc"..walk in and she's not sitting at her desk playing on her pc. Her dog is laying there looking at me..The house was so empty.She had it built in 1980.Just a small 1000sqft home that housed us 5 kids at one time or another somehow lol..then later her mom,my awesome gma..its kind of like my heart now..filled with old memories..We dont know if we'll be able to keep the house.Its what a couple of us want. BUT not sure if proper paper work got done in time OR if it was even the right paper work. We were all so dumbfounded when it came to all this. You are never ready..AND we sure werent. I suggest that everyone today,make it a plan to get everything in order for your death. Because when the time comes,its too late. Everything..from the burial plot,casket,stone,house,cars,furnishings,savings,b ank accounts,Have numbers to everyone you can think of..Be prepared. Its the right thing to do. Instead of getting to spend time with the one dying and family,you are busy running around going ape s^&* figuring things out..I love ya mom..and again, Thanks everyone..

This is a tough blow, Mike, but you were as prepared for it as is possible to be. You're right, though, nobody is ever completely prepared for something like this. I hope you find peace with the good memories.

I feel a sense of ease now.I in no way want to be rude,crude,or disrespectful towards my mom. BUT her being at rest finally sets me at ease. Im sure i'll break down from time to time as I still do with my Gma,but knowing she isnt hurting,depressed,have any regrets,and feeling so dependent on others "which she hated" just makes me feel good.Its never easy to lose someone so close though.Looking back at old pics,videos reminds you just how fun,young,active,spry you once were.It reminds you of a more simple time.Back when you had to entertain one another and yourself from family time,going outside,whatever. Those people from the past generations are finally passing on. I feel they were a special breed. They know struggle in ways we'll never know,even at our worst times. For those people 60+ I have much respect and love and thank you for raising us kids to be decent and loving,and actually have compassion and care for others which is something being lost in todays society...Thanks mom and Gma...love..
