    Please accept my condolences for your loss. As the oldest person in my family, I can say that having loved ones depart is a natural order of things. It is much more acceptable to the heart if a loved one lived a long and full life.

      A heartfelt thank you for your condolences 🙏🏻 Yes, of course - she was 91 years old and her numerous health issues made it a living hell for her. I also have my experience in the field of nursing, so I actually helped a lot of people during their final moments. Just hits a little different and harder when it’s a family member of your own, especially for my mom. Losing a parent is one of the hardest moments in life, I imagine.

        Nurses are special in my book. They see other people at their worst and treat them well anyway. Much respect.

        Losing a parent is only losing them physically. If you were close, especially as adults, you know them so well they never really leave you. They stay in your thoughts; both present and past.

          Thanks again! I really like my work, even if it’s hard. Especially working with the elderly is often rewarding; there’s much wisdom to be shared by them.

          I think mom is on a good way then - yesterday we talked about so many moments we shared with grandma and had a good laugh sometimes. 👍🏻
