Fear, Family!

...Family Matters Most!


Lately, the fear of losing Mom, has weighed heavily on my mind.
With my dad, he lived a short time in a bad way, and lived a short but full life, until the end.
With mom, she's living a longer life, but, not a fuller life.
The Mind is a strange thing.

Here, mom is snuggled next to my brother Jeff, at the nursing home.

I feel you, @bluefinstudios. We've just had another scare with my mum. We nearly lost her three years ago and she was in a bad way for many months before she miraculously got better and kept on living. But she's never been 100% after that so the thought of losing her is rather present all the time. My relationship with my mum is an unusual one that I can't even figure out myself so I don't really know how I feel about it, let alone how I will feel when her time comes. I have a feeling it won't be easy. It never is. Enjoy the time you have left with your beautiful mum. She is lucky to have someone to snuggle too.

Thanks, and good news on your own mum!

To every mom is the closest and most loving person. Thought of losing her i the most threatening thought.

It's never easy when we are faced with our mortality. Losing those closest to us is always a difficult thing to overcome. I've had my fair share of loss and what I've learned is to relish in the good memories that you have... so make all the memories that you can and make the most out of the time she has left. Keep your head up @bluefinstudios... and know that you also have a family here to talk to and help you get through the difficult times.

I appreciate it.
I am not being a good Steemian, I know, but, I need some time,
Let 'em all know for me.

I just want to hug your mom :)
and your brother!
and you, my dear friend!

I'm sorry that you're going through these difficult times nearing the end of the time with your mom, but I love to see how snuggled she is in the crook of her son's arm.

gets me a little bit emotional. moms :)

My heart really goes out to you and your family with this situation, having been through it, too. Something that brought me some comfort with my own mother is the realization that I didn't really know  what was happening in her head. Even on days when the Alzheimer's prevented her from speaking or seeming to know who I was, my mother seemed to derive some measure of happiness from simple things: flowers brought to cheer her, or ice cream served in the dining room. It made me understand that — perhaps — she was doing better on the inside than we imagined, and the sadness and fretting were more on our part than hers. BIG HUGS to you as you continue through this... ❤️

A klondike bar!
I brought her one a few days ago and it was her entire world!
Such joy. Almost like a little kid enjoys ice cream.

I'm so sorry you have to go through this hard time, and family is closest to our heart and your mom looks so sweet. Love the photo.
Much Love to you and your family. My thoughts are with you my friend. 💞🤗💞

Thank you for sharing your feelings. We always want to see those we love happy and in their best, especially those who have given us so much, like our parents. You and your brother must bring her so much joy, with the way you care for her. Big hugs to you, your brother, and most especially your Mom! Take care, and God bless you!
