So my mother died about 40 hours ago

I’m still trying to deal with it all. Her heart gave out almost instantly early yesterday morning. She was 86 and had been suffering from Alzheimers for about 18 months. She hadn’t reached the point yet where she did not recognize me when I called, but lots of repetitious discussions and simply agreeing with things because it was easier and better than telling her, “Mom, Jeannie passed away four years ago”.

A lot of weird things go through your head when you lose your last parent.

I am very sorry for your loss.
I have said this many times and it is not meant to be hard. It gives me comfort.
" Maybe the dead look back at us and wonder why we cling to life so desperately. Until we pass we can not know that death is not the sweetest joy."
