sincere condolences friend. may she rest in peace.
stay strong and best of health for you and yours.
Thank you, brother. She lived a long life, 84 years. But honestly, it would hurt just the same even if she had made it to 104. She was deeply loved. My grandpa passed away young, at just 60, and with all of us caught up in our lives, working and managing everything, I can’t help but fear that we didn’t give her as much time as we wanted to. I guess that’s just how life is, you only truly realize how much someone meant to you once they’re gone.
Her passing hit me hard, especially because it was so sudden. She was only old, her mind was still sharp, and just the day before she passed, I was with her. She was in high spirits, and we talked about her life while I gave her a massage to help her relax. I made sure she was comfortable, set her up to watch her favorite TV series, and kissed her goodbye. That was our last moment together. She passed away that same night while on her way to the bathroom.
Sorry for the long message, but even now, 11 days later, I still can’t believe she’s gone.
