Neil, I think you have put it perfectly. Certainly better than anything I could have written. May I add, PALS are not a burden to their families. They ARE family. | |||

last night i found my mother dead in her recliner. she went to bed and she never woke up. i was there for her last breath as she was there for my first breath. she will not suffer anymore which is what she wanted. a peaceful sleep. thank you all for your thoughts and well wishes. you gave me a lot of support when i needed it most. i am more than grateful to all of you here. i want all of you to know that you made a difference in my life and in what was left of my mother's life. i wish all of you all the peace that this life has to offer. | ||

Peace and strength to you and your kids, fox. Though her mistrust of her life as it had become likely prevented her from saying so, your mom knew fully how much you meant to each other, and that you wanted to help. Best, Laurie | |||

So sorry for your loss. And if I might offer one bit of advice along with my condolences it would be to try and always view your relationship with her in it's totality once you have worked past the immediate emotions. Within a year of my Mother having her stroke my Father died unexpectedly and unfortunately due to the stress of handling my Mothers issues and his dementia our last few encounters were not what I'd preferred them to be. After his death I reminded myself that outside of that last year and a couple during my teenage years we'd had a wonderful Father/Son relationship for 47 out of 50 years (my age when he died) and if I wanted to properly honor our relationship I owed it to both of us to remember it from a global POV. | ||

Sorry to hear fox. She is at peace now. Always remember you are a great daughter and have many memories to hold onto. Sending strength to you and your children, hold each other tightly.
