Hello, just a few words to let you know that I have been feeling better today. I received an antidecubitus bed and I met someone from the agency for home assistance. I should have a quote tomorrow. I can work 12 days per month at home but I have to go back to my office from the 15th to the 18th March. So I hope I will have someone to come here by then.
Trekking or hiking: putting one foot in front of the other. That’s exactly how I felt after my mom died.
Keep on keeping on.
Wishing you all the best. Keep us posted with updates when you can.
It has been a strange period, a strange Christmas... Still are improving but I am still very forgetful, and it seems I cannot organise my time. I have of course much more time now but I do less... I just cannot organise my time, probably I am not use to have so much time.
I am enjoying the Alpine Club I joined and have done some trekking with snowshoes. They organise everything perfectly, I just have to walk... I think it is what I need now : to have someone else in charge of the organisation.
I will try to read as many posts as possible to catch up.
So sorry for the loss of your mom.
May you and your family take comfort in knowing that you did all you could, and that your mother is now free from physical pain.
May The Lord give you strength, peace and comfort during this new season in your life.
Be at peace. You did all that you could, and more.
It was a lovely post, my dear. Your mother and your father will be “now wherever you are”.
Lots of love, Margaret
My mom died that same evening. I was with her, it was heartbreaking since morphine did not work properly, she woke up soon and she was in terrible pain. She would ask for her and when I asked her what I could do she just answered I could not do anything...
We had her funeral on Sathurday 9th.
In Italy, we have some small cards with the picture of our beloved printed to give as a memory. I had this sentence by St. Augustine printed on them:
"They whom we love and lost are no longer where they were before.
They are now wherever we are."
I feel a little lost but I know she is in a better place now, with my dad who died 40 years ago : they will protect me and my family.
I do believe she "sees" all the expressions of love and esteem I am receiving for her.
We had the chance to say goodbye and how much we love each other.
Tears are now in my eyes... and it is diffucult to go on writing.
I will still visit this wonderful forum that helped me so much.
thank you for your support, I will keep you updated
