Sorry to hear that Jay. I know the struggles you had when she was hospitalized.
I think you gave your best to care for her, and she probably knows that too. That's all that we can do. Some things aren't up to us. A lot of people when perfectly healthy wouldn't have tried half as hard as you did.
I'll say a prayer for you both.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Jay.
I have no words, but I like these
Take good care of yourself, ok?Holes
Strangest of gaps
their goneness
mother, father, loved friendsthe black holes
of the astronomer
are not more mysteriousthis kind of hole
will not be filled
with candle flames
or even a thousand thoughtsthe hole is inside us
it brims over
is empty and full at once.- Lillian Morrison

I'm sorry Jay.
I won't pretend to know what you're going through, but I can see you're in a lot of grief.
You're in my thoughts Jay and it does get better. (((((Jay)))))

Jay,
I'm so sorry. I mentioned you were one of the first people to respond to my first post here and you were so kind.
I'm sure you mom is with you still in spirit and knows very well what a loving and caring son you are.
Wishing you and your family peace,
b

"Sweet Chariot...swing low...come for me."
I really don't know what to say..but thank you to all for your kind and compassionate words. I think...no, I KNOW..that Chariot has taken my Mom away to someplace very special. But she has come home...she is now on the mantle above the fireplace. Very teaful the last few days...thought I was just going to collapse. Yet, I feel her presence...and she always had a STRONG presence. Part of her is my smile...and part of her is my tears. I had to write her obituary last week. I am nowhere NEAR even thinking of emptying her room...her clothes...her jewlery.
"Where did you go? Can I follow?
Because the distance is hard to swallow...And if I promise an ocean
Would you care for the notion of
Staying here and resting your weary head
And would you come back and see me, or
Angel am I dreaming because
Heaven knows that I'll miss you so
And that's a fact
Look now where I'm at
I miss you so
Look now where I'm at
I can't let go...I do very much believe in forever...so I don't think I have to let her go.
"You can never break the chain...life is a power that remains.."
I thought we should celebrate her life, somehow. A nice poetry reading by a fire....but my own sister thinks of me in disgust. I am more than willing to forgive, move on in peace. But, sister is always angry, dis-satisfied, unless you live up to her yuppie lifestyle. I wanted to do it for my Mom. Find and embrace peace and forgiveness. I know in social work, forgiveness is one of the most things, because it takes all of that weight away..and you feel so much more..everything.

I am sorry for not answering each of you individually. Still hard to keep focus/perspective. I do think I need a girlfriend....but..well...we will see.
