I wasn't there when she died, but I got to the hospital a few minutes later. However, she was pretty much gone several days before, when she took quite a radical turn for the worse. We all knew it was just a matter of time, so I can remember feeling more of a sense of relief, and release, that night, right after it happened. It had been a very long and miserable downward spiral for her.

I will say it was a jolt to walk down the long hall of the hospital ward til I reached her room, and the door was closed. Every other door all the way up and down the hall was always open so the nurses could come in and out. Hers too, at least til that night. That alone gave it a real sense of finality.

My deepest sympathy to John Fugelsang and his family.

2. I lost my mom 30 years ago to cancer and it still hurts. She was a young woman 45 years old.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about her. My condolences to the Fugelsang family

7. When you lose your mom...

...you lose the best friend you will ever have.

25. I felt as if I'd lost my champion. No one is on your

side like mom.

8. John Fugelsang! Be gentle with yourself for awhile.

Your mother would want that. Be nice to yourself, and patient. I believe I was not quite sane for several months after my mother died. Eventually, you will think of her, of some wonderful moment with her, and smile.

21. John Steinbeck from Grapes of Wrath

“Women can change better’n a man,” Ma said soothingly. “Woman got all her life in her arms. Man got it all in his head.”
“Man, he lives in jerks-baby born an’ a man dies, an’ that’s a jerk-gets a farm and looses his farm, an’ that’s a jerk. Woman its all one flow, like a stream, little eddies, little waterfalls, but the river, it goes right on. Woman looks at it like that. We ain’t gonna die out. People is goin’ on-changin’ a little, maybe, but goin’ right on.”


Women/mothers provide that stability and common sense and a great void is felt when either is absent. Sympathies and well-wishes
