Mom passed on 5/3, today is 6/3, one month has passed. I saw a movie the other night about a family that had lost their mother. In one scene the little boy came into the kitchen and just started jumping up and down and crying out, 'I want my mommy". That's how I feel some days. Tears are always just waiting to be spilled. Dad & I are functioning, I'm working, taking care of my dog. We've moved from the "thank God she's not in that horrible shape anymore", to the reality that she is gone. She was 80, what a horrible way to end one's life. I find myself crying mostly over what I miss when she was well. I don't cry to much over the shape she got in, I am just mostly crying over the life we shared. I do think, as some on here have mentioned, that a CALS person can most definately suffer from PTSD. I told that to several people at her visitation. No one except those of us who have walked down the road with a PALS can really understand not only what the PALS went through, but also what the CALS went through.
