Give a Hug
I am sending my condolences to all forum members who have lost family in the last few months. In sifting through some recent (and older) posts I have read about a mother or father who have passed.I really wish that we could have an "In Memoriam" corner in the forum so that we do not miss reaching out to someone who has lost a parent or loved one.Caregiving is so isolating and overwhelming, that losing someone special creates such an ubrupt end to all the chaos; and I think that it is just as hard to deal with.Again, my heartfelt condolences and please feel free to post here if you have lost someone recently.Lilli

Cargi: My most sincere condolences. I am so sorry for your double loss so close together. It is like slamming on your breaks...going from crazy busy to so quiet. I hope that time is the healer everyone says it is.Lilli

LILLI:
You're absolutely right. An "In Memoriam" corner would definitely fill a void that makes some of us isolate and fall off the map for months at a time. After all, WE are family and need to look out for one another.

Ed, I agree. Most of us here have no one among our family and friends who either understands our role as caregiver or how incredibly draining it is, so we rely on each other here in the forum. When a parent passes, all the extended family goes back to their lives leaving the caregiver to deal with extreme grief and lonliness....and the feeling of "what do I do now."
I encourage our site managers to consider a special place where people can post the passing of a loved one and for others to send their condolences and offer support. And I encourage all who have lost a parent to stay here and share their wisdom with those of us who are still struggling with this journey.
And I agree, too, we are family...true family members do not turn their backs on you when you need them.

I lost my best friend Sunday morning - mom. I will miss her. I feel like I should have done more. I feel guilty, hurt, sad. I miss her voice. My eyes are red from crying and my nose is sore from blowing it so much.
