Une femme douce

My mother died yesterday, fifteen days after the death of my father. She passed her last six years immobile on a bed, totally paralyzed and almost unconscious, after the horrible stroke she had on 2004. Only her eyes were vivid all these years, the eyes who gazed me, with her unbelievable tenderness, every single day since then, when I was visiting her, for an hour or less every day. I was seeing my mother dying day after day after day, for six years long.

Fifteen days ago, my father died first in the adjacent room of their house. I am sure she understood what happened, she was very anxious after this. Two days later, I disappeared myself from her house, I could not visit her anymore, because of my broken foot. At that moment, she maybe felt that everything was over for her, that the persons to whom she totally devoted her life had left for ever. She died peacefully in her sleep, a few days later, at age 81. She was kind and tender all her life long, her life was love and devotion, nothing more, nothing less.

I lost my mother and I am unable to cry now. That is the most awful.

I'm very sorry to hear you story mate. This makes me realize that for those who's still got their parents ought to be nice to them since if it's not you who cares and protecting your parents, who else?

My mom and dad still alive and healthy. But as a son, I'm still lack of everything...

I hope I can make them happy before they leave this world.

A very sad news. Be strong...

I still have my mother but lost my grand'ma and 12 days later my father went.

It was fast and my brother, my mother and myself were under complete shock. Exeption of the funeral, I didn't cry. My mother neither. I don't think it is very important. Everyone lives this pain in a different way. What is important is that we were there for them during their lives.

Toutes mes pensées t'accompagnent en ces moment douloureux...

Ton élève,

I think maybe you've been grieving for your mum for 6 years, which probably explains why no tears came. In some way it's almost like she was waiting for your dad. Hard going on you to lose both of them at the same time though - I wish you all the best.

I have just looked at every post you have made from the start of this blog and then I read ...kind, tender, love, devotion.

It made me stop, pause and be moved. You have painted you mother in a beautiful picture of words.

I lost my Mum 7 months ago aged 89, confined to bed for 2+ years and like I could say of her....kind, tender, love, devotion. I hope your heart is healing and pain of missing is gradually becoming less. Thank you for sharing this.....G
