If my mother were still alive, today would be her 61st birthday. She was taken away from me on May 3rd, 2006 at 7:38pm after cancer spent months ravaging her body. I miss her madly. Happy birthday, mom.
I lost my dad on April 18th, 2005 from lung cancer. The last time I saw him was days before he died, when I was 35 weeks pregnant with my son. I still miss him.
Losing a parent is hard. I lost my dad May 30, 2003. He became ill fast and I sat with him until his last breath. His birthday and his favorite times of the year always affect me. It was his strength through life that made me go back to nursing school the day after his funeral and write exams.
My heart goes out to anyone that has lost someone they love.
I hear ya, sister. :hug: every birthday, anniversary of his death, anything that reminds me how much I miss my dad sends me into a tailspin.
Take care of you. Your mom is at peace.
Never feel guilty cigarbabe, my mother hated that I was there everyday, but appreciated my devotion. The dying hate feeling like they are hampering the lives of those they love no matter how much we want to be there.
Not to mention, you were going through the stages of grieving and loss. The only reason I was there for mother was I had 3 years to go through the process before she died. You are human and as such, have human emotions and frailties.
Never regret a thing, your nana is smiling down on you proud of the strong, loving woman you are.
