My Mom is Dying from Liver Disease!

pNut, I am so sorry for your loss. I went through the same thing with my mom. Like your parents mine were married for 62 years. I can tell you from my heart that the pain eases as time passes. You will never get over the loss but the grief does lessen as time goes on. It is true that soon you will be talking about the funny things and good memories that you have. It helps to reminice with the family. I cried on and off for quite awhile but now, almost 2 years later the tears are more rare. I knew that it was a blessing that my mom passed for her sake anyway. But I am selfish and I didn't want her to leave us. At the same time I also knew that death is a part of life. I just don't like that part. None the less I have come to terms with it. My dad is doing much better now. He has been going to different functions in his retirement community, riding a bike, and swimming almost everyday. It took him several months to get to that point though thru alot of encouragement from all of us kids. (Well we aren't kids anymore). Unfortunately, my oldest brother died suddenly 6 months later. That was a huge shock to us all. I just believe that when the time comes for us all there is nothing we can do to prevent it. Crying is a tremendous emotional release and actually healthy so cry when you need to. We are here for you honey.
