Yes, it must sound a cruel thing to say, but my Mum's death came as a relief in the end - to know she was at peace at last. My Dad has said that for years he felt like a bereaved person who wasn't allowed to grieve.
Havoc, my empathy for losing your parents that way and my appreciation for everyone's sentiments on this subject. I guess it's hard to reach a certain age without some painful baggage of this kind, but having friends who know how you feel helps a lot, doesn't it? :hug
Yes Stevie it certainly does help a lot. I am very happy to have such good friends here who always listen. I love you all. :love:
The feeling is mutual,Marthe.
Yes Marthe, IDEM. :)
I am very sorry Stevie about what happened to your mother and your entire family because of her disease.
Havoc, it is terrible you’ve already lost both your parents. And I am SORRY about your mother’s death in particular. “Happily” she has died quickly, as you said.
I can understand THAT you know. Because we all have to die one day, but to die feeling a lot of pain, suffering during long months or long years NO, we should NOT.
My uncle had to cope with his father who had dementia and I can recall him saying that he felt very bad, but he wished his father could fall ill with a disease that killed him instead of seeing him suffering from dementia.
The same here Frances. It’s so bad when some persons live long years or long months with such bad disease.
Pffff if only we could ALL die quickly, with no pain.
having friends who know how you feel helps a lot, doesn't it? :hug
It does Stevie. I appreciate all of you in this forum, personaly! I’m glad to be here with you!
All part of the many reasons why we've come together as a group,isn't it? Thanks,Everybody, for being there for all of us,and I hope I can help somebody,sometimes,myself.
Exactly! And you’re welcome Shipmate.
Ohhh but you already help! :wink: You're a nice and agreable person. I like you. :hug
