Mom passed yesterday evening. She had a fever from a bladder infection and while I was trying to cool her down and give her a fever reducer she had another bad seizure. I just sat with her. Our youngest daughter was with me and she took this very hard. She is gone, gone to be with dad and her parents and brothers. She is happy and at peace with those she loves. I am so very grateful.
Last night all I could do was say thank you over and over in my prayers. I hope someday to remember the fun mom I had. Right now it is just a feeling of relief and sadness.
Thanks for your prayers now I need to be cheered up:)
Kim
I am so sorry for your loss. You have done a wonderful job caring for your mom, and even though you would get frustrated, the love you felt for her always shone through in your posts. God bless you and your family in this time of mourning. Grieve as long as you need dear lady. I'm praying you.
ReplyDeleteOh Kim, I am so very sorry. What a gift, though, knowing she has received the ultimate healing and is no longer in pain. What a joyful reunion she must be having! May God wrap HIs arms around you as you mourn her loss. Hugs
ReplyDeleteKim, I am so sorry. You took good care of her. Now, she is free of her agony, but she had you with her at the end.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were with your mom when the time came. I'm so sorry and I understand that you are feeling sad, but also grateful and relieved. My parents had very long, drawn out illnesses too and it was a blessing when they passed. Always remember the good stuff. I hope your daughter will be okay. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss - it is never easy, no matter what the circumstances. Thankfully she had a wonderful life with a wonderful family and that will be with her (and your family) always!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss - I was thinking about you and your mother last night. Maybe there was a reason.
ReplyDeleteIt's never easy to watch someone die. I was there when my mom passed. I am glad her journey is over for her sake and all of her family(especially you Kim). No one can say you didn't physically give her everything she needed. Prayers for healing for those left behind are going out from here.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you all!!!

ReplyDeleteOh Kim, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm grateful that you and your daughter were with your mom. I imagine that your love and gentle touch gave her comfort. I'm rejoicing that she is now healed and whole. Praying that you have peace and comfort in the days ahead.
ReplyDeleteI’m so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss, Kim. I bet the first thing she does when she gets to Heaven is make a pie or cake or cookies all by herself! Bless you for taking her in.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry, Kim. I truly understand the mixed feelings. You gave her your all while she was here and I pray you are both at peace now.
ReplyDeleteKim I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope that as my own parents age that I can be the daughter that you were for your own mom. You really embody the commandment of honoring your mother and father. Something that many of us should strive to do. Sending prayers for you and the rest of your family through this time of grief. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your mom
ReplyDeleteOh my, I am shocked. Bless you as you get through this. You have been a wonderful daughter.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your mom,Kim, but glad you were able to see her off & be at her side. You were an amazing daughter to her - you have no reason for any regrets. Now it's time for you to celebrate your mom's full life, then get on living yours! Peace & prayers to you & your family.
ReplyDeleteI’m so sorry for your loss. I really enjoyed hearing the stories about your mom. I wish I knew the right words to say to give you comfort.
ReplyDeleteOh wow... I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for peace and comfort.
ReplyDeleteLove and light, Kim. Take time to let your heart, mind and body heal. You gave your all to your mom.
ReplyDeleteOh Kim! I am so very sorry to hear this....Hugs to you and your family! <3
ReplyDeleteI know your very happy your mother is dead. You complained about her a lot.
ReplyDeleteWow, talk about insensitive and rude!
DeleteTo anonymous-Kim used her friends in cyber world for support and to help in a tiny way to share the challenges. No one gave more care and love than she did. I would not wish the pain and hurt she dealt with on anyone, and hope you never experience what Kim went through, but did so giving her mom dignified care and attention.
DeleteWow... seriously?? Even though caring for her mother may have been challenging, Kim did her best under the circumstances.
DeleteWow.... she was being real Anonymous. Have you ever cared for the elderly??? I applaud her for keeping her at home and not throwing her into a nursing home, like so many people do these days!
DeleteHow can anyone say such a thing? This comment by Anonymous is completely uncalled for. Go crawl back under the rock you came from.
DeleteApparently trolls have no compassion.
DeleteWhat is wrong with you Anonymous? Talk about having absolutely no compassion and being an absolutely "ugly" soul. Kim, please ignore this heartless person and their comment. They obviously have no idea how much you loved your mother and how much taking care of someone with her health issues can take a toll on the caretaker. You went above and beyond what most people would have done. You have my love, support and respect.
DeleteI'm so sorry your mom has passed, but I am so glad that her suffering is over. As you said, it's not easy to leave this world, even though we have loved ones waiting for us on the other shore. God has her now, safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteBlessings on you all.
I'm very sorry for your loss. It is always a hard time, full of such mixed emotions--you are happy the person is in Heaven, feeling no pain or sadness, but for the ones left behind....not so easy.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your mom got to spend time with both you and your sister toward the end. Then, you both can have memories of her last days. Although it was hard on your daughter, it was good for you both that you had each other during that difficult time.
Kim, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I know what a long road grief is, and hope you can be kind to yourself. Please know you're in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteKim, I am sad and glad at the same time. I know your mom had struggled and was unhappy with life recently and I know how difficult and physically taxing her care was on you. I am sad her end days were difficult and happy I believe that another door has opened and she is blooming again on the other side of the wall. Wishing you much peace and rest.
ReplyDeleteKim,I am very sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose a parent. It's a hole in our hearts that is always there. You can take comfort that you were such a good daughter and took care of your mom at the end of her life. I know it was hard, but you did such a loving, honorable thing by doing this. It was a hard time for your mom and all of you, but I know she must have felt very loved in your home.

Kim,
ReplyDeleteI will keep you in my prayers and hope you all find comfort through each other. You had a challenging time, but the grace and dignity your shown in care giving exhibits the love you have fr your mother. We should all be so lucky to have someone like you in our lives.
I am sorry for your loss. I know the feeling of relief. As much as I miss my mom now, I would never want her to suffer like she did those last few weeks of her life. God took your mom when He was ready for her. You and your sisters took good care of her. Thinking of you all!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your Mom. Now she can have some peace though. She was very lucky to have you and your sister right up until the end. My condolences
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I am so sorry for your loss! You and your family are definitely in our prayers for the coming weeks. You and your family were such a blessing to her!
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry about your mother's passing..
ReplyDeleteI am praying my friend...right now for you all.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to her the news. This part of being an 'adult' is so incredibly hard. hugsssss
ReplyDeleteKim, so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Even though she seemed a handful at times, she did brighten your day and you all brightened hers so many times. It's hard to lose a parent (I've lost both of my parents), but she's free from pain and worry now. Asking God to give you comfort and peace now. God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteMy heartfelt sympathies to you and yours Kim. Your mom was blessed with the love of her children and grandchildren. She suffers no longer. Hugs!!

ReplyDeleteOMG, Kim you can find out who anonymous is. You really deserved to complain and get a little support. Sorry for the troll.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear the news. Losing a parent is an part of this journey of ours.
ReplyDeleteBefore the referendum, the government had pledged to pass legislation by the end of the year to allow unrestricted terminations up to 12 weeks (see picture), and between 12 and 24 weeks to protect the mother’s health, if the amendment was set aside.sad pics
