My elderly mom passed away on election night after years with dementia and other health issues…I think I’ve been mourning the vibrant mom I knew for a decade, so I am not feeling that sad either - more relieved really too!

My you happy your sister is not in pain. You are happy and sad because you miss her physical presence. You will have both happy and sad times but always know that your sister will always be with you when you keep her in you heart. You are normal. Grief has no time table. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

There’s no wrong way to grieve when you’re experiencing a devastating loss. We’re never really prepared for any of it no matter how much we think we are 💙

I’m sorry for your loss of your sister.My brother has Parkinson’s And it’s hard to see how that disease can really take away your power, your strength. But I’m so grateful he’s here.

I don’t know. My mother passed peacefully a week ago. It was expected and we are so blessed hers was a peaceful passing. I felt the same way thinking maybe we pre grieved her passing then three days post death the grieving hit. I am scraping myself off the ground just to function now. So sorry for the loss of your sister. Damned Parkinson’s.

You are showing your love for your sister. She was so lucky to have you caring about her. RIP Kathleen. ❤

Normal, you would like to have remembered her when she was vibrant, instead of remembering the past 10 years and the drain on your family. She is probably happy now too that you can live again remembering her as she was before. The one thing deceased people want more than anything else is to look down and see how happy we are in our lives while remembering them too!

How I explain that, and this just my view, you started the grieving process early. It's hard and heartbreaking to watch someone, or something, you love go through their end of life journey, especially when it's due to illness or something like that. The relief you feel is normal. Like you said, the suffering is over. You are still grieving, you're just at a different stage of the process. I'm really sorry for the loss.

I am very sorry for your loss. Everyone griefs their own way, at their own pace. Remember to be kind to yourself.

I know firsthand the gradual loss of a loved one with Parkinson’s. You’ve been grieving slowly for a long time. Give yourself time & grace. Your heart knows what it needs right now & every moment ahead.
