    I'm so very sorry to hear of your mom's passing. No matter how old we are, or they are, we're never prepared for the loss. Praying for peace for you, your dad, and your family.

      Three days after I put my mom in memory care, my cat died. And I wanted so much to tell her and have her comfort me, but I knew she wouldn't understand what I was saying. She and I both are big animal lovers. Even though she's still alive, I miss her so much. She was/is my best friend.

    This music brings tears to my eyes. God is wonderful, I can’t thank him enough. People who know me and my husband in our area. They know what we have been through and how long it took us to be successful and where we are at the moment. If you are familiar withe scriptures, I mean the word of God you can tell that Jesus always talked about destiny helpers and I met mine 6 years ago.. I met Mr Andrew in a church seminar 6 years ago. He is a young man with a good heart. God used him to change my life and the lives of people around us. It was a huge step we took and we do not regret it. I always talk about him everywhere pardon me. If you are out there and loosing hope I want you to know that God has plans for everyone of us. i feel my story should encourage a lot of people. I will drop info of him below

    I literally just started watching your videos today. I was a nurse for 20 years in Oncology and Home Care. I also lost my mom when she was 66, she had MS and ultimately a fall caused a brain bleed, and she passed away from that after several days of being on a ventilator. She also lived out of town from me, 3000 miles away...and I'm an only child. So, tough situation.
    It was 11 years ago today. So today is hard, this whole time of year is hard. But it is so interesting that I ran into your videos today.
    What you guys have been going through just sucks. There is no other way to describe it. It is an emotional roller coaster. It is also physically exhausting. And it can be financially devastating, depending on the circumstances.
    I am so glad you guys got to say those goodbyes. I also got to say goodbye for a long time. We had several family visitors, and I did some minor crying, and lots of talking. One thing I remembered the other night was that at one point I was sitting in her room alone, and the pastor of her church came in, a woman I had never met before. She introduced herself, I introduced myself, and burst into tears. The hardest crying I had done, just ugly crying, in front of a stranger. And she held me for the longest time, not saying anything. just let me cry. It was the only time I did that while I was there.
    So the kindness of strangers really is a thing. I think sometimes with people we don't really know, we don't have any history with them, there is no pressure. And as strangers, we can still care about you and your family. And we can send loving supportive thoughts and messages. You are not alone at all in this grief, and this is simply hard. One of the most difficult if not the most difficult things in life. I appreciate you sharing, and that I saw it today. That is brave of you because it is hard to get in front of a camera and talk about such a difficult time. But you may also be helping someone else going through this experience. Another stranger helping a stranger 🙂 So thank you sweet lady. I am so sorry for this loss and the void it leaves. You are in my thoughts ❤

      With your empathy, experience and training, you could be so rewarded if you could find a way to give back a little. Maybe just one evening a week? Visit some long-term care facilities nearby and inquire about volunteer opportunities. Just sitting bedside for an hour or two and talking about anything - or not talking at all - would benefit you as well as your new friends. Give of yourself as you can, it will come back to you in spades! Thank you for sharing your story. Sometimes a good cry can open your eyes and heart to so much goodness that still can be found in this world. I cry too, Mom's been gone almost 14 years. And I was there through every moment. I wouldn't trade that time for anything in the world, and I found a way to sustain that nurturing side of me by sitting with older women who remember things no one else cares about. Hug yourself for the New Year, and may your holiday be everything you want and need it to be.

    You just came up as a suggestion to watch, and I am so glad it did. I thank you very much for sharing your journey. I have an 87 year old mother who has been in Mild Cognitive Impairment/dementia since she was 80. I just took her on a 5 day cruise, just the two of us. It was the most wonderful trip together. I did have to be the Caregiver with her meds, c-pack, walker, and questions galore, but I would do that anytime with my mom, instead of without her. I am sorry for your loss!

My dad passed a few weeks after my mom. My brother passed a few weeks before my mom. It was so lonely. My mom was always busy and made everything and every occasion special and watching her afraid and unable to speak was so sad. I had a stent put in when my mom was sick. Be very good to yourself and don’t fret about Christmas obligations. My heart is with you.

    My deepest condolences. This video came up on my feed. My mom passed from ovarian cancer in 2016. She was treated horribly by our Canadian health care. I wish you healing.

      I’m so sorry. I lost my mother on Christmas Day 2020. She had Alzheimer’s.
      It was such a horrible time. The pandemic kept us out of her care home. So she died alone. It’s still a struggle for me.

    I’m so sorry for your loss of your mom recently. When you talked about wanting to call your mom about certain things I can certainly understand. My mom has been gone ten years and I still find myself wanting to call her to ask a question that only she would know the answer to. What a blessing it is that you were able to spend those last days with your mom and family together ❤️

    When my mother passed away she had dementia; the doctor said, "she was 89 and she couldn't live forever". Yes, that was so true, but in reality I wanted her to live forever!! She was a wonderful mother and my greatest cheerleader. She always made me feel special, even though I was one of her five children. A loving mother will be forever missed by every child who knew her love. I hope your shared times together will bring you joy and warm memories for as long as you live.

    This amazes me because it sounds exactly like what my grandmother went through this year. She had dementia as well, had a hip replacement, kept walking around at night and falling, and eventually we had to move her to a facility. That only aggravated her dementia and she declined very very fast, in a matter of days, and she died on Easter Sunday, alone..They called us to say that she was already gone, which was quite sad. We also couldn't visit her at all while she was in there, because we were in the middle of a Covid wave and no visitors were allowed in hospitals or facilities. So that was difficult to process, but at the same time, maybe it's for the best that we didn't see her like that. She was very out of it as well by that point so I like to think she wasn't aware of what was going on. You're lucky you got to spend those final days with her and say your goodbyes! So many people don't get that chance these days.

    God bless you! I went through this with my mom almost two years ago, right before Covid. She had some of the same problems as your mom, the paranoia and anxiety but also some of the meaness that can occur with dementia . My sister and I moved in to help her and my father for 8 months. It was so difficult. I still miss her so much. Time does help, we lost her right after her 83rd birthday in January 2020, but I think of her everyday still. Take care of yourself and remember that she has no pain and has peace, it helps me to remember that. 🌹❤️❤️❤️
