my mum: We’re all going to hell together.
me: We’re not going to hell now, we’re safe here. We’re all together and it’s nice here.
my mum: This is hell.
me: Tell me what you grew in your garden?
my mum: In hell?
me: In Ohio, you had a beautiful garden and you grew lovely roses.
my mum: Oh the roses were my favorite, red and pink and yellow roses…
pause
my mum: I want to die.
me: I know mama.

it’s never easy, watching those whom we love suffer, and, there’s nothing we can do for them, but to, continue to, stay by their sides, for as long as we possibly, can.

Sylvia, I offer you big virtual hugs my friend. My mum passed in 2012, we lost my dad in 2024. It’s incredibly difficult to lose your parents. Be well my friend. 🙏🏻❤️

Hard conversations for sure. As difficult for them to understand as it is for us. I grew a tougher skin in dealing with my mom. The grace was that somedays the conversations were lighter and sometimes comical. Stay strong. I’m praying you have a lighter day ahead.
