My mom
Apr 03 2007 19:53

Just got a call a couple of hours ago from the funeral director in Wareham (MA) that handled my father's arrangements back in September 2002, and who was also in charge of my (adopted) mother's arrangements. He told me that my mother passed away today at 4 AM due to acute respiratory failure, pneumonia and pulmonary heart disease. Last time I spoke to her was about a week ago. She and I had a very strained relationship for the last several years but I, in no way, hated her. I didn't like some of the things she said and did, but I did not hate her.

My son seems to be o.k. so far. My daughter is not taking it to well. I went in to the room and talked with her for a while. She pretty much just wants to be left alone.

I am not sure how I am or anything. I'm just sort of numb and "here".

I'm so sorry honey.

I know that it is difficult when we feel like there was more we needed to say, but I think that you can still tell her what you need to tell her. She will hear you. She probably knows already right? Moms know everything, especially the things you try to hide from them. :)

I wish your family strength and peace.

XOXOX

Just tell her what you need to. She will hear you.
If you need to talk, I am here for you.

It seems silly but you always hear how your parents know how push your buttons because they installed them, it seems to me they also install good bit of themselves. So much so not only are they with always but they are there to listen if look close enough. When the numb ends up being whatever it does, she'll be there to listen.

Until then take care of yourself and family.
