My mom went to live with God yesterday. She has been very sick for a long time. She has lived with me this past year. I knew something was up the week before Christmas she ate but not that much, she still got up and ate at times and watched tv with me. Now my job is done being a caregiver for now. I have been a caregiver for my parents the last 5 years. First my step-dad then my mom. I have lost so many close friends, a husband, lover and many other close friends, in the last 6 years it has been very hard. I don't like DEATH...... sorry to ramble on my heart is broken right now.

You are a warrior. I am sorry you have had so many losses. As i have heard, being a caretaker is for the strong of heart. My prayers are with you.

I disagree. Death is easy-- surviving on ain't.

I know the hurt you are feeling. I was a caregiver for 17 years. It made me a more patient, and strong person. I lost my dad, then my husband four months later. I dont know how i ever got through it. You just have to go on and make new friends, and laugh more. Then you will finally find peace in your heart. God bless

Sorry for your loss.........I too was a caregiver for 5 years for both my parents until their demise. Even though sometimes I prayed for God to take them due to their poor health, when the time came I was still devasted and utterly depressed. Between extensive counseling and going thru Hospice's 6 week Griever's Support Group, I am mostly recovered. It took three years to get to this point.
As for lost "Friends", don't fret about them, they weren't worth having anyway if they abandoned you for being a caregiver.....

Thank you everyone. This time has been hard on me. The other day I was watching our soap and I went in her room to tell her I knew he wasn't dead. Well she wasn't there. I miss mom even though we had our arguments. It is hard to explain. I always took care of her for 4 years by going to her house twice a day till she moved in with me a year ago. At times it doesn't seem real. It is strange I don't have to hurry home to mom. But she is in a better place and not hurting anymore....

^^^^^^^
I too went thru that "I've got to get home in case Mom or Dad needs something" for probably about a year after they passed. Going thru Hospice Grief Support Group tremendously helped ease my pain and helped me get my life together.
Oh I still miss them something fierce but it's not as depressing any more.(like it once was).
