My Mom just passed away on January 27, 2011. I took care of her for 4 1/2 years in my home. I also have a husband and three boys. She had emphysema and every year it got a little worse. It was hard but I am so grateful to have these last years with her. This website was very helpful and made me realize I was not alone in this journey.I appreciate all the advice given, and if anyone needs advice on caregiving or copd, Id be glad to try and help. Thank you
My Mom passed away on Feb 21. I understand what you mean when you say Mom is at peace. I miss her so much, but it is a relief to not see her suffer any more. Believe me when I say, my thoughts are with you. - Heidi
