When my Mom was in the final stages one of her sisters suggested that each family member present spend a few minutes alone with her and let her know that it’s ok to give up now, along with whatever else we wanted to say.

I sorry to hear this. Spend all the time that you can with her now.

My mom passed away back in March of this year. It's the hardest thing in my life I've had to endure so far. I wish I could have more time with my mom. I miss her tremendously.

I'm sorry. Losing your mom is hard. My mom died 4 years ago. I think about her every day.

I'm sorry. 4 years ago tomorrow is the last time I saw my mom, and I got the call.

I’m so very sorry to hear that. Losing Mom is hard. I lost my mother in 2013 and miss her to this day.
Make the most of the precious time you have left and tell her she wasn’t a mistake. If she wasn’t around, you wouldn’t be here and (if any siblings and grandchildren) they wouldn’t be here either.

So is mine. It’s so hard. I go between sadness and anger and denial and acceptance. I’m sorry.

Sorry friend! Im the youngest gen x and lost my dad on 05 and my mom in 10. So im ahead of most of you with this. Doesn't make it hurt more or less though. Please just remember and tell the next generation about her. Thats how people live forever.

Thinking of you and wishing your ma a peaceful passing. I’m so sorry that she was made to feel so unwanted and unloved. No child should ever go through that. Hold tight, friend.

I’m sorry for your loss. My mom died in 2008, after a long battle with liver failure caused by her doctor overprescribing codeine for her hip pain. I still miss her to this day.

Just tell her what you just said, that she was a gift, not a mistake, and that she did the best she could with what she had. Tell her you love her. Record her if you can, if she can still speak. Save any voicemails you might have. My heart aches for you. It doesn't matter how old we are, it's too soon.

My friend, I mourn with you.
We lost our mom about nine years ago and reading your post I know exactly where you are in the process and sincerely grieve with you.

It’s a feeling of heartbreak only those of us who’ve experienced it can truly understand. And I’m devastated for you.

I wish I could give you words of comfort, but the truth is you’re gonna have to feel it. There’s no escaping it, if you’re anything like me it will hit you in waves, a memory a thought, the reality of it all.

It may reduce you to tears, and that’s okay.

Sometimes all we can do is let it hit us over and over and over again. Sometimes it’s the only thing we can do.

You’re not alone.

Mine went out with dementia November of 24. Dad went out in ‘21. It’s sobering & sad…knowing you’re next on the metaphorical assembly line of life to be ‘boxed up and shipped out’.

I have to keep believing it’s just that…like you’re going somewhere new, or leveling up in a sense. Not just non-existence.

I am so sorry. You are in my prayers tonight. Your mother never deserved what was said to her.

[-]

Elusive_strength2000@reddit

That’s exactly how I felt about mine. I dropped all to rush to her side across country when she was dx with cancer. Looked after her for the last months of her life. No regrets.

[-]

CynicalOne_313@reddit

Sending hugs, OP. It's hard. 🫂 I hope you have people close by you can talk to.

I lost my mom 8 years ago. We never had a great relationship because of her choices and it's something I never prepared for.

Individual-Army811@reddit

Good or bad, she's the mom you knew. Likely, like the rest of us, just trying her beat to figure life out.

Big hugs, it sucks to be left with the pieces. ❤️

Moms are hard. I lost mine 5 years ago. I miss her every single day.

perseidot@reddit

I’m sorry for what you’re going through, for what your Ma is going through, and that she had such a tough life.

The kindness you show her now will bring you more peace in the long run. But it’s damn hard sometimes.

I’m just really sorry. I hope her passing is peaceful. I’ll be thinking of you both.

I’m sorry for you both, you are strong and will make it thru this. Sending you support.

I bet you were one of the things she did in her life that made her proudest. I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry. It hurts to lose a mom.

mauigirl48@reddit

It really helped me to remember the things my mom did do…. Like I got my love of animals and my love of crafting and painting from her. And- (not that you need my permission) it’s ok to feel relief!!

For what it’s worth, you’ll get through it. If you can be there as she draws her last breath, do so. The last sensation to shut down is hearing. Play her favorite music, read a story to her, just let her know you’re there for her. And God bless you and mom

You’re a good kid. I’m so sorry she’s suffering and that you are too. Sending you love

[-]

Pretty-Win911@reddit

Just be with her if you can. She sounds like she is emotionally lost and didn’t have a loving foundation to her life. Im sure that affected you. It did for me. I believe that giving her the grace of a peaceful passing will help heal you. I am so sorry for you to have go through this.

She’s 77 if it matters

pasafa@reddit

My mom died last year at 78. I miss her all the fucking time. But I’m glad she is no longer suffering. She’d been in a lot of pain for a lot of years and now she is free. Record your mom’s voice before you lose her. Sending you love peace and strength
