Stressful month in real life

Went through the same with my mother but it was pulmonary fibrosis, she went into the hospital with pneumonia, released too early I think, right back in, this time for over a month, 3 weeks in ICU and doctors said so much lung damage even the next cold could kill her. We had several back and forth nights it was close and she pulled through, but finally didn't. Just a year after that, same with my father basically with COPD, heavy smoker...pneumonia hit and we did hospice with him for about 3 months and he passed. My mom begged me to kill her the night she died hours later, choking on lung fluid, it just crushed me to watch. Obvious there are few words that matter, but thinking of you and although seldom here these days, good to always see you around, miss a lot of my old friends. Ever need to talk, look me up.

Thanks for the reply. I think I remember some time back you were talking about your parents. Prayers to you buddy.

To fireftr18 and Reece and August and Armistead and to your families ... peace be with you. Takes a while to get over the passing of a loved one. Makes you think of our own existence ... I hope you have someone near you to comfort you in your time of need. All I had when I lost my mother was a phone call from her sister and then I had to go through all of her stuff.

What pain we bear in love we remain.
