My beautiful mom passed away 7 weeks ago Saturday, following falling out of bed. In a lot of ways I'm grateful that the Alzheimers hadn't had chance to take hold of her, she was still in the very early stages. She still knew who we were and, although she was unconscious for the 3 days before she passed, we all managed to spend time with her.
I'm really struggling though. I feel lost, angry, frustrated, sad, lonely. I MISS MY MOM. I would give anything for the chance to give her a hug or hear her laughing.
It would have been mom and dad's 49th wedding anniversary on Thursday. We went for a meal and put a rose on mom's placemat to make sure she was with us.
Dad's coping really well although obviously I'm not with him all the time. But he says he is feeling ok. He doesn't understand why he isn't moping. I said that maybe he had already prepared himself for this eventuality. I wish I could have done the same.
I can't describe how I feel. My husband is being fantastic and recognising when I need a hug and cry.
I'm sorry for rambling, but I really need to let this out.
