14. My Mom Part 8

This will be the continuation of my mother’s story. I was able to basically gather myself once I first saw my mom and stumbled outside. I entered her room and sat down beside her. Then I kissed her. She appeared to be unaware that she was looking at me as she did. I'm not sure. She simply wasn't focusing on me. She simply displayed confusion. Simply not there. She couldn't speak, either. She was sort of babbling, and nothing was making any sense. I am aware that the moment will soon arrive; it won't be long.

In other words, I appreciate you walking beside me as we continue down this path, just as I would like to do. We all experience things, even though our journeys and life experiences might not be exactly the same or even that comparable. And we all experience difficult moments and grief. It's going to happen to all of us. Not simultaneously, but rather at various intervals. And every one of us will approach it in a unique way. That is the reason I'm here. All I want to say is that you're not alone.

“I just needed to be with my mom. I didn't need you in my space. It was unnecessary energy I needed to put out that I needed to save for myself on what was going to be the hardest day of my life on the day that everything was going to change for me.”

In this episode, I will talk about:

• What it was like to sit by her bed during her final moments
• My mom’s last moments
• How meeting her co-workers made it harder to leave
