What ever happened to Normal

[nodakgirl]

So many emotions for the last 2 weeks, sadness, guilt, regret, anger and just plain stress.  My mother passed away on Feb 11th.  It was totally unexpected.  But maybe when a parent dies no matter when or what has happened to precede it, that is a normal reaction.  My mother has never been particularly healthy.  She gets a cold and it hangs on

Oh, I'm so very sorry to hear about your mom. I have a clue what you have gone through and am so thankful that my mom is doing as well as she is... see my recent posts. As you have already been told, we all get frustrated with our parents, especially so as they age and our roles are reversed. I battle that more often than I wish. Know that my thoughts are with you and I hope you have sunny days again soon. You did what so many of us do which is what we have to, good relationship or not. You have nothing to be ashamed of.
Love...

I'm so glad that the surgery went well for your mom. What a worry and it's going to be tough with the recovery. I sure hope that things go ok.

Thank you so much for your wise words and your support. It means so much!! I'm so lucky to have friends like you!!

Hugs

We hope things go well with the recovery/rehab too. We know it won't be a picnic, but at least it will be something which should pass with time and effort. What she was trying to live with before was never going to get better.
Know that you are thought of.
