I'm going on five years. It's taken it's toll.
@SW-User Came across a post of yours, turns out our moms died a few days apart. Mine died on March 4, 2020. 😔

@OlderSometimesWiser Aw, I'm so sorry sweet lady 🫂 And what a weird time it was to lose Mom. Right before covid. Everything shut down and nobody would hug you 😢
It's a whole new level of lonely.

@SW-User So sorry for your loss. 🫂
Weird that as horrible as the experience was, had she been in the hospital, then the nursing facility, then the hospital again, just a couple weeks later, none of us could have been with her. That would have just about killed me, knowing she was all alone during her final days.

@OlderSometimesWiser That's exactly how I felt too. My Mama was in hospice and there were already cases of covid popping up there. It was awful actually. But I felt like she knew somehow.
@SW-User I’m still finding it so hard trying to remember positive memories of her without getting slammed with memories of those awful final days. Gets so painful that at times I just try to direct my mind away from thinking about her at all and I hate that. Of course Mother’s Day coming up on Sunday certainly isn’t helping.

@OlderSometimesWiser I completely understand. It's not fair. It was so ugly. And for a Mama who deserved all the love in the world.
@SW-User Absolutely. Big, big hugs to you. I get it, and sadly I know that you do too. 🫂
