E3000, so sorry to hear this but thank you for sharing some of your mother's life with the forum. My dad passed over the winter, about the same age. I too was with my father when he passed and it has given me great closure. My wife too was of great comfort to me as time passed along. It is obvious you were very close to your mother so let that be your guide to remember her life, talents and gifts to you and others in joy and fondness. Thankful to have had her in so much of your life. That's how I remember dad.

I am Catholic also and believe in the afterlife. I'm sure dad is waiting for me on the other side as your mother waits for you. My best to you and your family in this difficult time.

Mavash.

Thank you for the kind words. He's out of town with her now. He didn't want me to go because he didn't want me to see him that way. It hurt but I rose above it and gently reminded him that I'm here when/if he needs me. I didn't push to go.

We've had some great late night conversations since he's been gone. I wish it were under better circumstances of course but I will take whatever intimacy I can get.

Long story short is he's rethinking the whole intimacy/affection thing now and he's wishing I were there with him.

So yes I'm still trying.

Yeah but don't sell this type of intimacy short.

Sorry for your loss. My mom has been gone for going on 19 years and the memories are still frequent, especially when raising my kids (what would mom do?) but even now how I see traits of her in them although 2 of my 3 never met her.
