Taking care of Mom: Most rewarding and difficult thing I’ve ever done

Good evening,
I just wanted to let you all know that my mama passed away on December 23rd after a 6 month courageous battle with cancer. She was in her home with my oldest daughter and me by her side. It was so hard to let her go, but I know she is now at peace. I am so blessed that I was able to take care of her. I miss her already… About 5 minutes ago, I wanted to call her to talk with her and it really hit me. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day was definitely not the same… God bless you all and wishing you the best in 2022…

@pstut I am so sorry to learn of your mother’s death. She sounded like a very special and strong person. And you will always remember her as she was. I found this poem 20+ years ago and it really spoke to me:
In the rising of the sun, and it’s going down, we remember them;
In the blowing of the wind, and in the chill of winter, we remember them;
In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them;
In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember them;
In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them;
When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them;
When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them;
When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them;
So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are now part of us,
As we remember them.

I am so sorry your Mom passed....I don't want to say you lost your Mom because I believe in heaven and she is not lost or suffering anymore....you will miss her,.... but the greatest love we can show is considering them and letting go so they will no longer suffer....below is my Mom that had a severe stroke and her throat was paralyzed....she could not eat or drink after the 2nd stroke....she also was on hospice and didn't eat or drink not even water for 10 days....I prayed for God in his mercy to take her and He did the very next day ❤ she did not suffer and slipped into a coma....just wanted you to know I care....and I know you will keep your Moms' memory alive 🙏 tap picture to enlarge if you desire
