I just wanted to give an update...
my momma passed away at 10 this morning.
I thought being with her after she passed was going to be too much for me but I actually found I didn’t want to leave her. I undressed and bathed her myself. There were some things I couldn’t do... she had lived with a chronic lung condition for so long that I couldn’t bring myself to take her oxygen off and had the nurse do it for me. I did leave the house for a moment to take care of her dog, but otherwise stayed with her. She had wanted to stay in the home for a period before the funeral home got her, and I honored that wish. I had been so scared of seeing her like that, but do you know what? She still seemed like my beautiful momma.
the funeral home got her and I was incredibly anxious about it but they put her in the shroud and all went well. They didn’t need me to help and I stood back.
Her burial is tomorrow. One last Big thing. I miss her desperately. I’m glad she’s not hurting. I miss her.
So sorry for your deep loss today.
Thank you for sharing your feelings and experience with us in your journey with Mom. 🌹
My condolences to you.
