My Mom who recently turned 95 passed away peacefully last night. She had been in assisted living the past 2 years suffering with Dementia. She would fall a lot and had broken many bones and needed round the clock care and assistance. Earlier in the week her system started shutting down and was bedridden but kept comfortable with morphine. She was under Hospice care. :(

I haven't any recent pictures of Mom with her family but here is a picture from way back Christmas 1987. Going from left to right is my grandma,Me, sister Teresa, Mom and sister Leah.

Peace to all of you and may she Rest in Peace.

My deepest condolences. :(
No matter how long a life, it's always tough when it happens.

I'm sorry Penny - looking at her eyes I can what a beautiful soul she has.

I'm so sorry Penny Lane. :( Rest in peace to your mom.

Thank you everyone! Your thoughts and wishes are appreciated.My Mom was living in Wisconsin with my sister until she had to go to assisted living. So the funeral service will be live streamed online which is great because the rest of our large family all live in Michigan and many of us couldn't make it.:)

Marlene,
I'm sorry - I don't get on as much as I should.
My deepest heartfelt condolences to read of your mom's passing.
The best comfort you have, is to know that she is "home" with Jesus

She had a good long life and it was probably hard for you to get to see her much, since she live in another state.
I'm really sad for what you have gone through the past couple years! :(

:(

Thanks Foggy and yes she is with Jesus and her friends and family . She had a strong Christian faith which she and my dad instilled in us. I am happy that the pain has passed and that she will be in eternal bliss. :heart:

Sorry for the loss of your mom Marlene.

My father passed away in September at the age of 91. My last parent. My mother died in 2018 at the age of 86.

I can’t say I miss him and am happy he passed away. I couldn’t imagine him living another four years like your mother. He had cancer of the throat when he was about 70 (never and hated smoking) and had throat surgery which affected his speech which got worse over time. In the end he couldn’t he solid food and was just eating liquid nutrition. He married this dingbat woman he has known for fifty years from his place of employment; and now I have to deal with her (she is in her late 70’s) to get out of the house I inherited so I can sell it which will necessitate me going back to America to sell the house and get her garbage out of the house. She was thinking about just buying the house from me but some lawyer.

I have been waiting for him to die for some time. So it has been a relief when he did and I get a trust fund out of the deal, which is good in some ways but sucks because the dingbat second wife is getting what I should have.

I went through some hell living with this man, both physical and psychological abuse. He wanted me to be in his career but I had absolutely no interest in it. I had to do a lot of unnecessary garbage because he made me do it. Frankly my parents should not have had children and if they did, it was a shame he did have a child more in tune with his thinking. He really did control my life, even as an adult. He for years kept going on and on about my “weight” or I didn’t do what he wanted me to do or whatever. I wish he would have died when I was young because my life would have been much better without him.

I was watching some documentary about Johnny Carson and part of it was that he didn’t have much to do with his three sons. He loved them but was too involved with his career to have much to do with them. I would have LOVED THAT. My stupid father even told me he was sorry he wasn’t around as much as he should have. He missed the whole point, his problem was that he was way too controlling of my life (I am an only child).

I sort of cringe when I read about people like Dick Van Dyke or William Shatner or Norman Lear who is even older than my father and me thinking how much more time I have to wait for him to go. He’s gone. Thank God. I get my trust fund, consider myself retired and don’t ever have to listen to anything that comes out of that stupid mouth of his ever again for the rest of my life.

Yong Fang, I'm sorry you had such a miserable father. I loved both my parents and miss them everyday.

Yong Fang I am terribly sorry :(
