"I share with sadness that Melinda's mother passed away last
night. She had been in ICU since early last week, following major hip
surgery. Many of you know that Melinda had been the primary caregiver
for her mother over the past few years, and she'd tirelessly dedicated
her time and energy to the welfare of her chronically ill mom. I think
her courage through all this has been pretty inspirational, frankly. "
Then a coworker emailed me later that day:
"Sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. You were a true hero in
doing everything that you could to keep your mother happy and to take
care of her during the final years. It is a tough battle doing this by
yourself. Throughout the entire ordeal, you always kept a wonderful
balance of work and taking care of your mother. She is in a better
place now, and you can take solace in knowing that you did all you could
for her. You really did. If there is anything that I can do for you
in the days or weeks ahead, let me know."
I miss my Mom SO much! Mother's Day is around the corner and I think it might kill me. :(
