200. Mother-Daughter Journey: The Visit — 9 Comments

  1. These are Luigi’s words about losing his mother: “After my mother died, I remained the oldest person in my family of birth. I did not feel pain when my parents passed, rather a sense of relief after too many years of pain. But I often think of my them, especially in the evening before falling asleep”. Words of deep feeling and great wisdom.

  2. Sue. I can relate to every word you say about your journey. I also always showed all the aides, nurses, social workers & drs how my mother looked when she was younger and even showed them her thesis. I lived through it like you, but could never have recorded it as well as you do. It was a roller coaster for me too. You are doing all that is possible to help your mother through. That’s all we daughters can do. My mom passed March 19 just before covid closed everything down.
    I was with her everyday from March 1 till she passed on the 19th. We only were allowed 10 people at the gravesite funeral and never had a Shiva. I miss her but as you say about your mom, it really wasn’t the mom we knew. Even though no one can ever replace our mothers. I will keep sending you strength and love to get through 💜

  3. I think of you and your mom often Sue. I send prayers and wishes for a peaceful ending. Even though we have never met I consider you one of the finest woman I know.

  4. Yes, I remember the rats in Florida and your mom’s delicate move to New York. I’m so glad you got to share your mom from her earlier days, with the staff. And full circle, here she is on 5 again, just like the 5 “H” as in Harry from those days long ago.
    Please take care of yourself, this is such an emotional time … and I’m sure you are the daughter and/or friend your mom would have chosen.
    Hugs,
