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.

Hi Ruth:
As an animal lover, I wanted to reply to your post about losing your Golden Retriever almost a year after your mom during the holiday season. I miss my mom almost every day, despite her being gone now for 3.5 years, just a few weeks after one of my closest friends passed away unexpectedly. Two big holes in the fabric of my life. In September 2013, 15 months ago I sent my 15 year old Border Collie to the Bridge. This loss seems larger as my furkids (still have 3 cats) are the children I never had. Yet I have had a hard time in adopting another dog.
I accept that all these lovely ladies I've lost no longer had any quality of life. And I would not want them to struggle and suffer to be just barely alive. I know I will see them all again. Still it is difficult at times.
I'm a little older than you at 59 and find myself dealing with my own mortality.
I hope you find comfort in your memories and believe that you will find that peace.
Warmly,
Kris
