Hopefully the good memories far outweigh the others and mom is resting peacefully. For you, may time heal and you find peaceā¦
So sorry man. Those final moments spent are a special thing and you were great to be there for them. Condolences to you and the whole family. May she rest in peace. God speed.
My most sincere condolences to you, your family and to all of her living friends, Kev. It's never easy to lose a loved one, but it really sticks with you when you sit beside their bed watching it happen, real time. My 96 y.o. Mom was very lucid but dealt with many serious infections after breaking her hip. She aspirated after becoming sick to her stomach, on vomit. Long story short, I had to make the decision over a week later to suspend respiration and let her pass, though she had been able to acknowledge that she was ready to go, with her palliative care nurse and I, a few days earlier. I stayed with her, and it was the longest 24 hours of my life. I'm at peace with it all now, 3 years ago. She would have absolutely despised and been outraged at the early Covid protocols, and the resulting poor care that has happened in the geriatric care industry since then. Praying for strength, wisdom, and great memories of the good times, my friend. I wish you all peace, most of all.
