Nana

March 9th, 2010 at 01:43 am

When I first started blogging here, I had just left my job to stay home and help care for my parents. My dad died a couple of years ago...and I have since returned to work.

Sadly, Nana passed away on Friday. She has been on dialysis for a number of years and has been fraile. She got sick a couple of weeks ago and was given a grim diagnosis Friday morning...blood flow to her intestine had blocked and her intestine was dying...thankfully, she did not survive the day and the ensuing pain that was going to follow with this diagnosis.

It is so tough to lose your last parent, your mother...the one person who truly loves you unconditionally.

I have no brothers or sisters (my brother died in a motorcycle accident in 88)...so I am feeling very orphaned right now...of course, I have my kids and grandkids...but it still hurts to lose that last link to your childhood years...

Nana, you were a super mom. I will miss you more than words can say...I hope you are having a good time with papa and lyn.

    I'm giving you a hug now, in my mind. I lost my dad last summer when his only grandbaby was 3 months old. I still miss him terribly and cry often. I also feel adrift. I'm so sorry. Grief isn't a straight line. It comes and goes, and it will be hard.

    {{{Hugs}}}.

    I'm so sorry for the loss of Nana. Its not easy losing both parents (you feel like you're in front), and it must be especially hard if you have no siblings. Please consider us your family. You and I are about the same age - I could be your blogging sister!

    I am so sorry. Losing your mom is a loss like no other. I lost mine 15 years ago -- so hard to believe! But I feel connected to her every day; she was such a guiding spirit in my life, and she continues to be. Take care of yourself, Ray.

    I too, am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I lost my father when I was 9 and my mother when I was 33. Even tho I was an adult, I felt very orphaned also. I have no living blood relatives, so I feel lonely too. I hope things start looking up for you.
