My mom died yesterday

[yankeepants]

Even though she was 92, had dementia/Alzheimer's and had been living in a nursing home for 4 years and assisted living before that, for the first hour or two after she passed I felt so vulnerable. I felt like a lost child. It was a very strange and almost frightening feeling. I spent the rest of the day just being sad and useless.


As long as you have a parent you are still a child in the some sense. Safe passage Polly.
