Rest in Peace, Mom...

My mom died last night after lengthy battles with recovery from stroke, coccidioidomycosis, type 2 diabetes, amputation, and the staph infection which led to pneumonia and septic shock that killed her.
I intended to lay out the very long sequence of events that led up to this point, but I'm having trouble stringing my thoughts together right now. Maybe later, as I've got an appointment with the funeral director in an hour and forty five minutes.

A little over nine years ago, I was where you are now. There came a time when I was concerned less about the fact that it sucked that Mom had to die -- for her own sake, that is -- and more that I and everyone else wouldn't ever see her again. Things will get a little worse before they get better, but they will get better.

It sounds like she was trending downwards for a long time but I can understand how even an expected loss can be a shock. If she was starting to mend before the infection...
Well. I'd offer to help, if there was any way for me to give you support in these times.

Without trying to sound callous, it sounds to me like she put up one hell of a fight going through all that.
My condolences to you, my friend, and I wish you strength in the coming days.

Even when it's expected, there really isn't a way to be prepared for losing your mum.

I'm sorry, Frank. It's a terrible feeling and I can only hope it dulls with time.

I agree. Losing a parent isn't a easy thing to get over.
You have my sympathies.
