Profile Information

About Me:
I'm a single Catholic man who lives in San Antonio, TX. I have no children and never been married. I am the youngest of four siblings. I'm reaching out to this site in hopes to connect with other people that are grieving by the death of their parents.
About my Loss:
I recently loss both my parents. My mom passed away December 19, 2014. She was laid to rest Christmas Eve. My father followed my mom three weeks after her death. He passed away Jan,14, 2015. He was laid to rest Jan 19, 2015.

My parents had been married 59 years. Mom was 89 and dad was 90. They raised us with a lot of love and stable home. They were devout Catholics and had a strong faith in God. I just want to say that this experience has been very difficult, hence a life changing for me and my siblings.

Before mom passed away, I asked her if she saw God? She replied, "yes" I asked her, what is he saying to you? She replied, "I'm the Way The Truth and The Life". She said it in Spanish. This statement was very powerful because she answered right away without pausing. How she said it was also unique. My sister and I were praying the Devine Mercy in song through my cell phone (u-tube). After we finished the rosary, my mom had her eyes half way open. To our surprise, her eyes turned a sparkling blue. It was the most soothing look she had, and the most beautiful blue we had never seen. We were in all. We feel it must have been the Holy Spirit of the Blessed Mother. When she passed away I was not present. I had drove home to pick up my clothes. My sister stayed behind with my other family members. After I was driving back to the hospital, I was getting stalled with the traffic. My sister received a phone call from a friend of my parents. She was giving her back to mom. Mom took that time to leave her soul. When I arrived everyone was standing in silence, my sister told me, mom passed away. I ran to her and cried so uncontrollably. I was lifting her body close to my chest. I could not stop crying and my family allowed me to cry. It was the hardest day of our lives.

My father was bed ridden, blind and totally dependent for his personal care. After we arrived back home, my nephew who was taking care of him was crying when we arrived. He told his mother, "mom he has been asking for grandma all day and he has tears in his eyes. The hardest thing was to tell him mom passed away. He had hearing loss so it was difficult to explain everything. He knew mom had passed away.

The following morning, we put him in the wheelchair and took him to the kitchen for breakfast. He sand a song to her in Spanish and was not able to finish it. He had tears in his eyes. He told us, "I'm not going to be around much longer, everything is going to end". Three weeks later he passed away.

My heart is so heavy. Today is my birthday and I feel sad. I have broken down many times. I am seeing a therapist for my grief. I know everyone grieves differently. It's challenging.

My mom died 4 months ago

My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
