My 97 year old mother has had a massive stroke, she is in ICU in a hospital 50 miles from here. Life support was removed from her yesterday and my family are now in the process of looking at hospice.
My brother and I are taking turns staying with her....I've known it was coming and I've tried to prepare for this but it is still a jolt.

It's hard to lose a parent.. no matter how old or how long we see it coming. Be gentle with yourself and allow your grief to happen.

I am so sorry to hear this. There is no preparation you can make for a loss like this. If you are a religious family then lean on your faith and draw strength from your savior

I have had the same journey three times now - my mother, my maiden aunt and my mother in law. In retrospect I count it a privilege to have been with each of them in their last days. It was as if I walked the journey with them until I could go no further and we parted as they continued to the ultimate destination.
You have my sympathy for the loss that you are experiencing. It is hard but in time you may come to se that it is also a blessing.

I am so sorry to hear this news. Loosing a mom is really hard. My mom was 51 when she passed and I miss her still every day..
Hugs NKat

So sorry to hear this. I am fortunate enough to have my parents still, but we lost my father-in-law just over two years ago and put him into hospice once we knew there was nothing else to be done. We were able to be with him in his final hours and help him on his journey. I think he knew he was not alone.
Sending healing thoughts to you and your family at this stressful time.

Mom passed away this morning....
I thank each of you for your thoughtfulness and kind words.
My family has been here all day and we have been laughing and telling 'mema stories' as she was one of a kind special lady....I am so proud of my kids and family, this sad time brings us closer and I know she would approve.
Again....thank you.

The memories are so precious, and so is family, and you have both. Your mother made them possible. Let gratitude mix with your grief, for you have been fortunate in this life. I can assure you that she will be with you till the end of your days.
Now I am tearing up because the loss is always there too. My heart goes out to you and I wish I could offer more comfort.
