[QUOTE="hark, post: 761910, member: 13196"] I am so sorry for your loss, Dan. Your mom sounds like she was very much loved. It's never easy to lose someone we love - especially someone we are so close to. She left footprints on your heart which you will always carry with you until you meet again. Cherish the wonderful memories you shared, and during the times you struggle with this, just remember you were there with her those last few days. For most of us, our parents raise us, but as we get older, those roles tend to switch. Quite often we are the ones watching out for them. I've been going through this myself as my mom passed in March. She had fallen here in January, and because she broke her clavicle, she required assistance to get up and down that I alone couldn't provide. She went to a nursing home where her care was absolutely horrible. However, due to COVID, I couldn't visit. 19 days later she wound up back at the ER in horrendous shape. It was then they told me she was near the end of life. When she was released, I was able to get her into the best nursing home in the county...one that is run by the government. After about a month, she was scheduled to come home on a Friday. Sadly she passed the Tuesday night just 3 days sooner. Having dealt with my mom's UTI's during her last few years, it's terrible how confused people can become when they are experiencing one. That alone is so hard to deal with, but your beloved Mom's tumors on top of her UTI probably made it so difficult for her to communicate. I'm glad you were able to speak with her and have her respond to you. Hold onto the memories you shared with her. You and your family will be in my prayers. [/QUOTE]
