JustWishing Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I am glad you are taking her home. This is the best for her. My grandfather did the same. He wanted to be home as well and it is good to grant that wish. Link to comment
thejigsup Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 It is so much more humane to die at home than in an institution. Unfortunately, few get that chance. Link to comment

Moontiger Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 My boyfriend got here last night. My mom had some energy to meet him. It was nice, she, my dad, my boyfriend and I sat in her room as they told stories about the family. When we went to bed, he held me as I cried and he told me about when his father past away.

Moontiger Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 awww love ..sounds like precious moments x It was. He didn't get this kind of...warning of his dad passing. It was sudden, and he was under 25. He was crying telling me about it. My mom had a good day today. Some friends stopped by, she was exhausted by the end. My dad and I helped her to her bed and she spent the rest of the day resting. Link to comment
pippy longstocking Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 That was very young and the shock must of been terrible . It sounds like he is going to be a huge tower of strength to you through all this . I lost my dad at 26 , I did have warning , he had cancer ..it is only now when I look back I realise been in your 20's is still very young to lose a parent . Sounds like your mum had a nice day and I am glad for that . Link to comment

Seraphim Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 How are you doing honey? Link to comment
Moontiger Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Hi everyone. I'm ok. I go back to my parents house at the end of September. Worked it all out with my boss. Mom is still with us. I call her everyday and when I reach her we talk for a minuet or two before I can tell she's getting tired. Looking into therapist for myself and got a book on grieving that I haven't yet opened. Link to comment
chitown9 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I recommend this book to you, honey, "Tear Soup." You can purchase it on Amazon. chi Link to comment
notevensure Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Seriously I though she would out live us all, and at 110 get hit by a bus. It's inconceivable that there could be a world without her. She is very, very sick and could have as little as a week or as long as 4 months. My boss, such a great person, told me to get on my car and drive and to not worry at all, to take as much time as I need with her. I've been at the hospital for a few hours. She is sleeping and we talked a little. My siblings are making there way into town. My boyfriend has been wonderful. He lost his father years ago so he has been where I am. I hold it together, then I cry, I'm ok and then I'm not. It's impossible for me to think of the world without her. I'm so sorry for your loss. But you really are so lucky to have a mother that means so much to you and that you will miss this way. Try to focus on that. You were so blessed to have her for as long as you did. I wish I could have had a mother whose existence meant so much to me. Link to comment
Moontiger Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Just finished my first therapy session. Link to comment
Moontiger Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 How did it go? Pretty good I think. Since it was the first appointment a chunk of time filling out paperwork. It will be a process but I think me and the therapist are a good fit. Link to comment
pippy longstocking Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 ahhh so glad you feel like it is a good fit ..its like the number one requirement in my mind to a fruitful therapy/client relationship . just popping in to catch up and leave hugs and stuff xxx Link to comment
Moontiger Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 One of the first things we talked about was her position on medication. She feels it's a tool that can help a person if they are also doing all the other work they need to, and it's the last tool she goes to. Which fits perfectly with my feelings on medication. I won't take anything unless I have to. Link to comment
