Mental health check-in

[Tiltsta]

Mom passed away this morning peacefully, she was 96. I’m good. I’ve gone to see her every week since she went in the nursing home November 2021, and shared a phone call with my brother, with her, who’s 8 hours away each time. She loved to garden and she got fresh flowers each time. She wasn’t able to communicate for the last 6 weeks or so. I just held her hand and told her I loved her and that she had done such a wonderful job raising 4 sons.

I don't post here anymore, but I sometimes accidentally click on the main update link which shows posts that have activity. I just wanted to break my radio silence and express my condolences. You sound like you are a wonderful son and gave your mother great comfort at the end of her time on this Earth. I'm sure it wasn't easy, but I'm sure your efforts helped. My best and deepest sympathies.

My Dad passed away on December 1st. It's been pretty rough. I wish you the best in mourning your Mother. This was the first Christmas Eve I haven't spent with my Dad. I'm glad you were able to tell your Mother what she meant to you. I was lucky enough to to that with my beloved Father too.

Condolences to you Andrew.

Mojo DM. My mom passed away in 2014 at 82 and it was the day they moved her to hospice. I had to work and my brother and dad were with her during the transfer to hospice and most of the day. I relieved them and went in at about 6PM and was the one to have to notify the nurse to come at 10:40 pm. I was there when she took her last breath....it was an odd thing which most people don't get to witness but I felt then and still do how lucky I was to have been there.

So after 2 years of working on it, Gwen and I have decided to end our marriage. It was discussed lovingly, even though that sounds weird. And we agreed to do all we could to preserve our relationship as co-parents of our grown kids. And to not trash each other and try to just figure it out. Other than that, that was enough to decide and we will work on the other stuff another day. I am having trouble getting to sleep as it is a big change, and still sinking in. But in a sense relieved as it has been a long road, and though I wanted to stay married, the handwriting was on the walls. So, in a sense, it is good to make a decision and move forward.

Sorry to hear it. Sounds rough.

I’m sorry for your loss and grief for the months ahead.

But I hope that silver linings start appearing soon-ish — I imagine that Hookers & Blow and other freedoms might be exciting and exhilarating too.
