My happy 60days turned very sad...

I was so happy today went to Kmart found a cute pair of cat slippers for my mother in law...went to the nursing home walked in so excited calling her name out as I walked in and to my horror she was dead....I hope I can be strong she was my little buddy I know its better because she will not suffer anymore but It was such a shock to find her

Oh I'm really sorry Nel...big hugs to you

I know how much of a shock that must have been...but I hope you can take some small solace in the fact her suffering is over now.

Take care and remember you're among friends here...

I am so sorry for your loss.

Please know that drinking is not going to help your grief. It will make it worse.

(((Nel))) - I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Though I wasn't the full-blown-addict that I turned out to be, when my mom died, I did like to drink. I had 2 coworkers offer me benzos to get through it all, but I just knew...I needed to feel the grief, or else it was going to come back and hit hard.

Please know we are here for you.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

Hugs nel. Sounds like you had a sweet relationship. I was wondering if she was "calling" you by alerting you to those cat slippers, a sort of dear goodbye to someone very special to her.

What a shock, but yes, she is in a better place.

It is so sad, I lost my mom 4 1/2 years ago I was picking her up for lunch she was waiting at the door where she lived and had a massive heart attack. I pulled up to her building wondering why she was taking so long to come out little did I know she was having a heart attack, my brother runs outside and yells mom down she down....It about killed me we were best of friends always together...now I am completely motherless I did love my mother in law and cared for her giving her baths, fixing her hair, visit her several times a week. I was lucky to have 2 wonderful mothers. I know when mom passed I really vamped up the drinking. Tonight I thought about it...but I didn't... I have drank about a pot of coffee. Thank you class you guys are wonderful♥ I guess it stirred up emotions over my moms death.
