Complete Peace

You were a good son. You did what you could to make life better for Mom. She lived a long life, maybe because of your care. I grieved for my Mom before her death. Watching her go thru every stage of Dementia. I didn't mourn her, as such, because her passing was a blessing. She was 89. She lived a good life. My problem is I tried to return to Church where we sat next to each other, in the same pew, sitting in the same spot for years. I just could not sit in that pew. Could not sit anywhere else either. You will have times when you tear up. Mine is when my friends talk about her. She loved having kids in her home. She treated them just like she treated her own kids.

My peace is knowing she is in good place. That she is whole again and young.

dseag, I am sorry for your loss and I rejoice for your peace.

Life ends and knowing that our loved one is ready to go, truly helps us in the new season we face.

She was blessed to have you. You did a tough job well.

May your future be filled with peace and happiness.

What you've written makes perfect sense and no, it doesn’t sound selfish. Be well, my friend. Did your job well.

I remember you dseag2. You are definitely not selfish. I am happy you're feeling peace and relief. Most of us would feel relief, too. I know I would.

My best wishes for the next stage of your life. Enjoy your newly found freedom.

I followed your story. I understand. Glad you and she have found peace. Thanks for updating.
