Yesterday I was informed that Mom is currently under "Comfort Care". She has been in decline for a while, and her body is failing. So, as I understand it, they are just doing what they can to keep her comfortable in her final days. I'll be largely unavailable for a week or so, though If I have any time to touch base I will.
Father's passing was hard and facing this again with mom is no easier. I'll be with my sister and her family for my visit to see Mom and to help with her final arrangements. It's a rough winter where I'm going.
Other than sharing the outline of plans I'm low on words right now. So I'll try to catch up more later. I love you guys. Take care and I hope to see ya more soon.

In spite of complications leading to me having to rebook my flight 3 times, and icy, windy, snow drift road conditions after I arrived here, I made it safely and In time to say my goodbyes to Mom last night before she passed.

We're attending the joint memorial service for herself and my father, who passed roughly a year ago, tomorrow. Gonna share memories and listen to others do the same. Then I'll return the next day and try to find my new normal.
Gonna do my best to resurface and start living again as I process all this.
I can only wish you the best at this point.
I sure learned that more than once.
I hope you, your family and all who are close with her will be ok through this rough time :(
This might not be helpful for everyone, but writing helped me a lot to process all this. Took a empty notebook and just started. Wrote down silly phrases she used to say, stuff I loved to do together with her, favourite meals she used to make for me, cherished memories, quirky lovable habits she had, stuff she had teached me. Simply anything that came to my mind, and it was a great support. Maybe that could help you too.
I hope you're getting along, keep your head up
I am doing alright and getting better. Thank you. <3
Looks like we both wrote something for the memorial speech then.
To be honest, those weren't my ideas. I got those suggestions from my big sis who's a therapist, and maybe I can pass on one more.
Every year on 'that day' I'm used to write a letter to my mom. It helps keeping a feeling of still having a connection and it's keeping memories alive
Hang in there, and take care<3
Nothing will make this easier. and I am sorry. giving you all the virtual hugs I can. take care. I'd wish you a wonderful day but...well...not sure that is what one should do with these things.
The love and support from everyone helps allot.
It's tough with that closure, worse without.
I wish you nothing but the best, and please, take all the time you need. We'll still be here.
Mom and dad had a long run and did well by me. I look forward to getting back to the norm and hopefully getting to see you guys more. As I take the time I need to get back to my usual self, I really want to immerse myself in the community. With other challenges in life and knowing my mom was fading, it consumed my thoughts and I've withdrawn a good bit. I don't wana lose touch.
There's really not much one can say in times like these other than I'm genuinely thinking positively about you and wishing you and your Mom all the best during her final days.
Love is such a funny thing, both powerful and tragic. It hurts so much when we have to say goodbye to someone who cares for us and who we care for. But that hurt is worth it. I'm glad you have such good relationships with your family and while this moment will be emotionally painful, I hope her memories that you were able to share with her will lift you up whenever you feel down in the future.
Furthermore, my found family has been wonderful too. I've not felt alone, and that's done wonders for me. I look forward to getting back to my routine to help me recover and normalize. I hope to participate in the community a little more than I have been. These back-to-back reminders of our mortality makes me want to live, love and share more.
Thank you for your kind thoughts. <3
