Mother

I am 57 years old. Recently my mother passed away. In the 57 years that I have been living I have never been away from my mother for any significant period of time. I love my mother and have always looked to provide the best of comfort to her. My Mother was an active person. She was a person with a lot of grit and determination. She was a multi-faceted personality. A few years ago she went through a series of health related problems and was bed ridden for the last two years. She used to hallucinate and would be afraid of things. She was struggling a lot. It was difficult to determine when she was conscious and aware of what she was saying. It was difficult to see a person who was always active and did not believe in depending on others suffer like this.
I did the best I can in keeping her spirits up and providing whatever physical comfort that you could give. Although it is difficult to let go when you are so emotionally attached to a person, you always wish well for them. The fact that she passed away hurts but when you think that she does not have to suffer, you kind of feel okay.
