Never go dispute something at work when you are an emotional wreck.

I'm so sorry to see this, Pack. My sincere condolences to you.

 

So sorry to learn of your mom passing, PackRat. So many reasons for stress and emotions, but losing a family member & loved one tops the list.
Work can wait... and don't sweat the small stuff. Take time to heal. My condolences, bro.

 

Sorry for your loss Pack. Lost mine when I was 17. It sucks but time will heal. Just cherish all the good memories.

 

SINCERE CONDOLENCES to you on the loss of your Mom!

May she rest in peace!

My mother passed away a little over 7 years ago, (5/31/1921 - 9/30/2007), age 86.

While time does heal, you never forget your mother or your father.

My father had passed away over 33 years ago, (8/30/1921 - 7/2/1981), age 59, due to acute monocytic leukemia.

Both of my parents were married to each other for over 25 years, (1/1/1956 - 7/2/1981). When my mother passed away, she was in her 26th. year of widowhood. She had been a widow longer than she had been married to my father.

HOLY MOSES!!

God bless you and your entire family! May God be with you!

 

Sorry about your mom

 

Just wrapped up some visits with my 93-year-old Mom in Memory Care Unit at West Los Angeles Veterans Hospital. We've never been all that close, always said she'd get a phone call from me on her birthday and Xmas, "whether she needs it or not." And there were times when I would have traded her in on a pack of playing cards. Or less.

Spent quite a bit of time out there a few years ago so I could stop in every 5-7 days for a short visit despite her fading memory and advanced years. It was an extended trip but I thought, well, for her, the sand's bigger at the bottom of the glass than at the top.

At this point, though, never know, could be her or could be me (passing on). If you think about it, that's always a stark fact. Then it's too late.

I'd walk in and she might say, "Well, if you've got chicken, you're probably my son, Victor." She has taken to saying that she thinks of me all the time, etc.

This was my first visit since she entered the VA. She likes it there and has a great support system. And I'm relieved to still have the opportunity to visit. It's a 2,000-mile hike from Indiana all the same.

But you only get one Mom, right? This time she asked, "How come we lost each other? Why'd we lose each other?"

Dunno, Mom. Dunno.

Best to do your visiting while you can, folks. Sorry, PackRat.

 

I'm terribly sorry for your loss, Packrat. I know I'll snap when my mom passes. Godspeed brother. Gotcha in my prayers man.

 

Sorry for your loss..........

 

I was in your shoes 2 years ago last May and know how difficult even easy routine things can be under that pressure. It will get easier over time. You will never stop missing your Mom but you will get to the point where you remember the fun times and good things BEFORE you remember the loss. All my prayers brother, God's speed.

 

When my best friend's mom passed last year, who was a 2nd mom to me, our sense of humor helped through all the tears. Don't forget to laugh, it's powerful medicine.
