Good Day Crew!

I hate to post post sad news, but me ladies mother has just been moved to a Hospice. Her health has been down hill hill for a few years now, but after her latest issues with Dialysis, the family has had to make the tough choice.

This decision is on the heals of my family, having to put my pops in a nursing home, he’s a tough Korean War Veteran, and a long time UAW Worker. The real sad thing is, he’s in Wisconsin, and I am in Ohio, and have not been able to get home to visit him at the moment.

I am in good spirits considering, but I have never had to deal with a loss to anyone close.

Sorry to hear it Steven, I hope you can take a bit of comfort in knowing that when the time comes she’ll be relieved of all the uncomfort she’s been dealing with. Best wishes to you and your family.

Sorry to hear about that, we know change is the only thing we can count in l on in life, and we know what comes next, eventually. My grandfather in PA had to live in a home the last two years of his life, and last month was his last days above ground. The home was the last place he wanted to be, having lived a full life outdoors as a farmer, and my memories of us together will never fade. Although we only got to see my grandparents twice a year at most, it was our favorite trip to take.

I hope you and your family stay strong, and keep her comfortable and your pops engaged.

I think I’ll go read up on tools now because my throat grew a knot and someone is cutting onions….

Sorry to hear.

There’s obviously nothing I can say to reverse the situation an make things good but I will say her an your family are in my prayers.

I took care of my grandma on dads side with stage 6(of 7) alztimers for several months before we put her in a home. Shortly after putting her in a home she fell broke her hip, an shoulder as well as previous heart complications re occurred. I was by her side when she took her last breath just days later. The only thing that comforted me is the fact I knew she wasn’t in pain anymore. I know she wouldn’t want to live like that, an she wasn’t trually her for the last few years. I mean she didn’t know who I was better yet what I was doing feeding her food when she didn’t even remember how to cut up her own food or keep her lips closed around a straw. Anyway for me it helps to remember that she’s no longer in pain an struggling. My personal belief is she is in heaven.

My grandpa on moms side is a Korean war vet. He served for 23 years, U.S. Army. He is tough as nails. He’s in Arkansas an Ime in Utah. I go there when I can but its not often. He’s going downhill physically. Mentally that dudes sharp as a tack. He does have PTSD thoe. The biggest worry I have is that he’s not being taken care of. With my grandma I knew she was cause I personally did care for her till we put her in a home were I stopped almost daily. Man I miss him.

Again your in my prayers man.

WigWagWorkshopMember since May 2015Mar 25, 2016 11:55 AM CT

Sabrena’s mother passed away this morning. She went peacefully with her daughters by her side.

I have never had to experience anything like this before.

Thank You All for the well wishes and prayers.

Thoughts and prayers are with you buddy. Stay strong for your family but not too strong that you cannot heal for yourself. Always remember the good times and the funny, smiles and laughs are the best medicine.

Not well, from what I been told, but he has always been a bit stubborn. On the plus side, his rehab is going well. We are hopeful, that he will get to come back home at some point.

KnarlyCarlMember since Jan 2016Mar 26, 2016 12:27 PM CT

Excellent, I hate to think how I would react in that setting, being on the receiving end of the spectrum

Sorry to hear that Wigwag. I understand, I am dealing with my mom’s failing health issues and we are considering hospice for her at this time.

WigWagWorkshopMember since May 2015Mar 31, 2016 4:55 PM CT

I really appreciate all the support from the #tiacrew. The family decided not to have a traditional funeral, but Sabrena’s mother will be cremated tomorrow, April 1st. We are just having a small close family gathering. Sabrena has been down in WV, with extended family for the last few days. I been taking care of the 3 year old Grandson, and I must say it has really been helping keeping my mind off things, I can’t wait till he’s old enough to hang out in the workshop.

krutonMember since Jun 2015Mar 31, 2016 5:13 PM CT

It’s always good to have something to take your mind off things like this. Helps keep your spirits up and I’m sure the grandson is loving it! Hope you are doing well brother.
