I truly wish that I could reach through the "tubes" and give you a {{{HUG}}}.
I'm sorry for your loss and the loss of your birthday, as well (pretty much from here on out). The crying will begin to be your friend.
Join us in the Grieving Room on Monday evenings to discuss mourning and loss.

I went to my son's house and got hugs from the grandkids.
My father and I were never close, but I had spent a lot of time with him and my mom in the last few years, and especially since he had been so sick. He was mostly in and out of the hospital and nursing homes in the past year, and Mom visited him every day and I went about 3 times a week. It got very hard near the end because he was simply wasting away. But he always knew who we were and thanked me for coming.
I really didn't think this would be so painful.

feeling of relief that my mom was no longer in pain when she passed. But, I don't (Ok, sometimes I do), I just hurt for the 'might have beens' and 'if only'.

they are no longer suffering. But the problem is that they are also no longer with us.
Hugs to you.
