My condolences.

When my Dad passed away, a monk told me "Whenever you miss your Dad, look at your hands. Part of him is with you always." That alone helped me greatly.

My sincere condolences. Losing a parent is tough...losing your mom is possibly the toughest.
Hang in there.

Zeze,

You have my deepest condolences for your loss. It will get somewhat easier over time but you will always remember and sometimes maybe you'll drive past a restaurant and recall a meal you ate there with your family and the tears will flow. Gradually those times will occur less often but not completely cease. Acknowledge your sorrow but remember the moments small and otherwise that made you feel close to your parents.

Be Well.

Damn bruh, spoke with my mom for a solid hour yesterday before I read this thread. There are very few people i've met over my life that will listen to every word I say even if they have no idea what the hell i'm talking about. I am lucky to know someone who has given me unconditional love, it is a gift I will always cherish and pass on when I can.

I am sorry for you loss.

I feel your pain. My Mom died in August from Alzheimer's. Then my Dad had a bad fall in September and he's moving into a nursing home. It's been a tough year.

trust me, she will be walking ASAP. That is how it works for OHS. As soon as she is able to stand, they will have her taking steps every day after that.
The experience I and my sister had with our mother was that it was in our (including my mother) best interest to take an active role in insuring that she got that exercise, not to simply trust that it would happen. We did that.

I'm so sorry she didn't make it. She lives on in your heart, always will. A rupturing aorta is a calamity that one is unlikely to survive, so my doctor said when I described what happened to my father. He didn't make it either.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

My mother also passed away at 65. She was sick for about 5 years (auto immune) and on one night she lost consciousness. She was rushed to the hosiptal and died a few hours later from septic shock. I try to not take things for granted anymore. This was 10 years ago. Insane how time flies. My dad is still alive and is about 76 years old. I know that his time is limited so I try to call him 1-2x a week. Anyway, I'm so sorry. Our parents work so hard to give us a lot. They ask nothing in return but our love, and the hope that we can be happy doing work that we care about.

In an odd way its good to be reminded that we are on a time-limited run here on this earth.

Easy to become complacent assuming there will always be another "tomorrow" to realize our dreams when eventually there won't be.

We're all 1 heartbeat away ... don't dwell on it but never forget it!

Yea, I'm big on Stocism and I practice Buddhism. I don't want to derail this thread. I'll just say good point.
