My mother unexpectedly passed away on February 4th, 2023 with myself, my sister (Laura) and my brother (Mitch) by her side. Although she has been in a nursing home since January 2020 (right before Covid lockdown) and in assisted living prior to this time, she had been hanging in there. Sadly, her kidneys shut down and she quickly went into a coma and then hospice where she thankfully didn’t linger very long at all. I am so glad I was able to make it down to be with her at the end. She was very unhappy, she was unable to do any of the things she enjoyed, even reading was becoming a challenge, and she was in so much pain. So on the one hand we were resigned to losing her, but on the other hand I will miss her so much. I love you Mom!! Forever and always.
