Wow. I didn't suspect that when I started this blog not too long ago that my Caregiving would end so soon.
My Mom passed away on Nov. 25th 2014, she put up a good fight for the love of her family and friends. Shortly before she died, she reached out for me as though she was making sure I was there with her so she wouldn't be alone. I think she feared being alone when she died. It was an honor to have her for my Mother, BFF and Caregiver. She slipped gently into sleep, just as she was hoping she would do when her time of death came to her.
Mom, my brother and I lived with Mom in her home. No matter where Mom was living, her house was always home, a soft place to fall.
In the week since her death, our home has become a house. Her presence is no longer here. The love, warmth, and happiness is gone. Our home is now a shell of a house. The funny thing is, this is just now I feel. I am a shell of a person now, not knowing what to do with my time now that my caregiving work is done.
God has a new journey for me now. I have my Brother, Shih Tzu and Kitten to care for. I promised Mom I will begin living a new life now. I have more time than I know what to do with, so I started reconnecting with friends that I couldn't do because Mom's health situation took most of my time.
Wherever Gods my family and I, I pray we stay together, happy and feeling loved.
I'm closing this blog now, ready to begin "A New Normal"
