How do you say goodbye?
Posted On: 02/10/2013 20:04:44

Mom hasn't passed yet but it is only a matter of hours or days. The doctors and nurses are warning us so we are trying to prepare a reserve of strength to handle it. As big and loving her heart is, it can not continue to work with only a 10% function.  For me, Mom was always my best friend. The word “was” is a horrible word to use here but Mom developed Lewy’s Body Dementia and her once sharp, witty and inquisitive mind saw a quick decline in the last year and half. I know without a doubt that if mom could regain mental clarity for a 5 minute period she would spend it scolding and bawling out my sister and I for letting her get to this point even though she would know we had nothing to do with it. Point is, Mom has always said she never want to reach the point where she needs to be care for like an infant. Still, how can I be satisfied on my memories alone? Will I be able to go on without her always supporting me when life threw hardballs at me? Again, I can envision Mom saying, “Now Judy, you know I brought you up to have faith in God and yourself. At the age of 61, I have had her more than half my life so I should be thanking God for letting her live a long life and for giving her to me.

My logical mind says I know it is coming but my heart says No, Mom don’t leave me.

Dear Sue, Thank you for your kind words. We made the decision tonight to take her off the hear med that was keeping that 10% function going. I know that I am not the only one to lose my mother. I feel losing Mom is losing me. It hurts so much but like you said, I will see her again.


Thanks for taking the time to give me words of comfort. Judy

Dear, Judy,  I do not know you that well but I wanted to say your blog touched my heart, I think we who have lost our Mom's all know how difficult it is and can relate to how you ae feeling.  May God Bless you during this special time.  and thank God for the time you have had with her.  When we loose a parent no matter what age we are and they are there is a hole left in our hearts.  This hole hurts when ever we touch upon it.  I can only say that I know in time everything is as God has intended.  We are sent from heaven to return to heaven.  That is our real home and our time and relationships on earth are carried with us back to the Father.  Take comfort in that you will see your Mother again and your spirits will recognize each other.  and that your Mom is with you forever.


I will pray for you and your family.  In Christian love.. Sue Chandler.. Oppsgal.

I know exactly how you feel! I felt the same way about my Mom and didn't know how it would work without and there isn't a day goes by that I don't think of her. But some how God gives us strength an almost insight we didn't know we had before as if in ways she is not gone but still here. Same with my dad.. And to this Day I Thank God I was so blessed with such wonderful parents and let them know that too while they were alive. I guess the kept my letters because I came across them. Well dear heart you and your Mom are in my prayers. God bless you always.. Connie/Joyful226

I am very sorry to hear about your Mom. You, and your sister will, I am sure, find the strength to endure the heartbreak and pain.  Yes you, like me are lucky to have had a Mom for so long...my Mom passed last Nov and I had her for 70 years.  There was and is, still pain and grief, I miss her every day, but I know she is in a better place and at peace and I know how blessed I was to have her for so long.  As others have said, you will never lose her as she is in your heart and your memories.

You are all in my prayers.

Judy I was the same way when my Mama was laying there and I knew she was dying.  Mama was ready to go, wanted to go but I kept holding on and Praying to God to keep her here for me. One day Mama was lying there in her withered little body and she asked me, "Clydene do you want me to stay here and suffer the way I am?"  Through my tears I said, "No Mama You can go now I release you to God's arms. I love you Mama".  She said "I love you too honey".  Mama went home that night.   Our loving God had granted me the time to let her go. It wasn't any easier to lose my Mama but I could also thank God for allowing me to say bye.  It don't happen that way sometimes as with my son Richard and my best friend and  conspirator Brenda. Not saying goodby was harder.  Cherish every moment you have with your Mother and try not to hang on too hard. Give it to God to decide. God Bless you Judy. Thank you so much for the message about Brenda's death. I appreciated it so much.

I know it's hard for you but when the inevitable happens, all you will really be losing is your Moms mode of transport for her time on earth. She will never leave your heart and every time you think about her she will be as alive as she ever was --kind regards, Fletch
