I joined this forum 4 years ago when my mom passed. This past April was the 4 years....I really feel that most times I am ok. But I now believe that the process, the healing, the sadness takes a lifetime to heal. IF it ever does. I think I need to be back on here as I find myself missing her more and more. I do believe I have learned a lot over these last years and can try to help anyone, anytime. God bless everyone :)

Lol, John!! Your mom was a fun lady. She held on to her sense of humor! A well developed sense of humor is a sign of intelligence, and a creative, agile mind. She sounds like she was a sharp and amazing woman.

Hi Nancy, quick story about my mother and her sense of humor. She had dementia, lost most of her memory. One morning I went into her room, and asked her..."Mom, what is your name?" (did this to get her memory started)....she thought for a few moments and said "Frances, my name is Frances"....I said, "That's right, your name is Frances. Now what's my name?"...She looked at me, pointed her finger and said...."I'm calling you stupid"....I said..."What?"...she said, "Anyone who can't remember their own name is stupid".....LOL She still had it.

I'm so sorry for your loss, John. The years spent caring for your mother were a gift for both of you. You were the only one there for her when she needed you most. The two of you obviously had a special bond. You were her greatest comfort at the end of her life. What a wonderful and selfless gift you gave her!

Thank you for sharing the information about Grief Share. I am going to try to find some type of local group similar to what you described.

I understand what you said anout your mother being your life during the years of caring for her. My mom and I were always very close. We were best friends. I was my mothers caregiver during her illness. My life revolved around my sweet mom. I don't regret one moment of the time I got to spend with her. I only wish we could have had more time. I wish I could have made her better. I feel lost now that she is gone. I miss her every moment of the day. I think constantly of my mother. I cry every day for the suffering and fear she experienced. I cry for how much I miss her. Everything around me reminds me of her. It has only been 4 months since my mom passed. I am still struggling every day. I don't have helpful advice as so many of the wonderful people here do. I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone. I will be praying for you.

After my mother passed I attended a 13 week class of a group called "Grief Share". You can find meetings in almost every town or city. You meet with others who have also suffered a loss. This group got me through the worst of it.

I was my mother's caregiver, for 7 years my world was built around her. The rest of my family did little or nothing to help. 3 times she was in the hospital or nursing care (for a couple of months at a time). Not one person in my family went to visit her. They just didn't want to be bothered. They don't understand why I've been grieving over the loss for 2 years. Their lives were not invested in caring for her. Mine was.

I miss her so much.

I had been my mother's caregiver for 7 years. I stopped working in 2005 to be her caregiver. I think those 7 years were the most rewarding of my life.
