It comes to us all.....

[J P Stein]

Mom passed away yesterday. It was not unexpected. 94 years old & 70 lbs. She had been wasting away & not eating for the last 2 -3 months. Her heart just quit working....not a heart attack as such, just quit supplying enough BP and the lights finally went out. Sounds painless to me.........better than most ways out, me thinks.

My older sister & I are all that's left of my family and we get along OK.....not like we were young. The sharp edges have worn off both of us.

Gonna have to sell the homestead in Kingston, WA. 10 wooded acres with a small Cedar house. If I were 20 years younger, I'd be on it like flies on horse****.

My heartfelt condolences, JP. She sounds like a great lady and a great mama.

First post of yers I've ever seen with no funny-spelled words. 'Nough said.

God speed. My wife and I both were "orphaned" on the same day - New Years Day 2012. My dad and her mom (last surviving parents) passed within 12 hours of each other. It's an odd feeling. Time marches on...

Sorry to hear of your loss. Being orphaned after a lifetime of having an elder is a bit disconcerting. It's like you are suddenly flying solo. I'm glad your sharp edges are gone. They don't serve much purpose inside a family.

She had a very long life.
I hope that your memories of her reflect a well lived life.

I am sorry to hear of your loss.

So sorry to hear, JP. I imagine her being in her 90s she had lots of life stories to tell. Glad you and your sister can support each other during this time. Talk about the nice memories of your mother with her.

Big hugs.

JP,

Heartfelt condolences from one whose feet stepped onto this path 13 years ago this month.

I know what you mean about the 'sharp edges'. I fought with the sister closest to me until she moved away, then suddenly I realized she was my favorite.
I'm glad you can be there for each other and that you had time to prepare for this.

Best

You are right. Death is part of the cycle of life.
