My mom died a few days ago.

I knew it was coming for a few months, but it's still much more painful than I anticipated.

So many feelings. Very humbling.

I was with her for every little declining stage.

Not sure why I'm posting this, to be honest.

Anyone else have this happen recently?

So sorry for your loss. Sending love your way.

So sorry to hear. Lost my mom just before Christmas. Stay close with family, support eachother. Wish I could say pain goes away, it doesn't, you just get used to it.

I'm really sorry to hear that 🫂

I've not yet experienced the death of a parent, but I've lost more than a few close friends over the years. I know it's not really comparable, but the last one I had known for close to 30 years. Still feels fresh when I think about it. He literally saved my life once upon a time.

One of the things I try to keep in mind is that our limited time on this planet is part of what makes our lives so valuable. Having the privilege to witness the last chapters of someone's life and to see the completion of their story is a beautiful thing even though the pain is unbearable.

If you ever need to talk, my dms are open.

Thank you all. 🫂

Feels like I've aged many years.

Yes, I've kinda "known" that every moment is precious, but now I know it in my gut.

Seeing her time remaining reduce to weeks, then days, then hours, then seconds, then the space between desperate breaths....

Her personality, her obsessions with the tedium of daily life, ruthlessly stripped away until the last couple days, she was a ghost angel who just wanted love and hugs.

I think I'm being a bit self-indulgent here. But, wow, every damn second counts in this brief time in corporal existence.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

I'm sure that she's proud of You.

I wish You the best!

Just been through this with my dad and uncle. It doesn't stop hurting, you just get better at dealing with it. I found keeping the mind busy helps, music sometimes to but sometimes not... You got this...
