I Can't Stop Crying - Page 18

We are going through this now too. My Mom turned 90 on Saturday, while in rehab. She has been in the hospital three times this year. We hired someone to check on her everyday when she gets out. Her heart is shot and her blood pressure is all over the place. I have not been able to see her due to the virus. Every time I talk to her I think it could be the last time. She knows we love her and continue to do every thing we can for her. When she passes, I will take comfort in knowing she is with my dad and her sister and her parents. It is hard to lose a parent for sure. We have to move through the grief and make the best of the rest of our own lives, with the new normal.

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else. Margaret Mead

@Jordan2 You've been given some excellent advice on how to address this woman next time she calls. I just want to say I'm sorry for your loss and wish you much courage to take your power for your peace of mind. I suspect if this woman knew she was upsetting you she'd back off but she's clearly not picking up on any vibes you are putting out. Some people are just dense. Help her and help yourself. Good luck.

I appreciate all the advice, I really do, however it isn't in my nature to be confrontational or disrespectful to this woman. I believe her heart's in the right place, she probably thinks she is looking out for me. I think in time the phone calls will lessen.

I just want to thank everyone again. I got 188 hearts to my original post, which shows me how kind the people on these boards are, to take the time to read my post, offer their condolences and advice. I appreciate more than you can ever know.
