My mom died

[Nonny]

My mom died last night. It's been a long time coming, so it's not a shock, and I'm OK, but it still feels very weird. For the past year it's been, "your mom only has 3-4 weeks left." And that kept happening month after month. But this last time I called (Monday), she's actually taken a real turn (stopped drinking) and it had gone from weeks to days.

My dad seems to currently be coping by doing practical stuff. When I talked to him this morning he was looking for the garbage bill to drop his service down to a smaller can. 

As of right now there is no plan to have a memorial service. That also feels kind of weird, because my parents went to any and all funerals for every friend, relative, and friend's relative around to show their support.

I’m sorry, Nonny. May she rest in peace.

I'm sorry. Even when you know it's coming it's hard. My dad jumped right into doing practical stuff too. After the funeral home left he was doing laundry, sorting her medications, getting out financial information for me and my brother. I think it helped him to be taking care of things.

I’m so sorry. Just because it was expected, doesn’t mean it’s not hard. Please make sure you’re caring for yourself.

Also, my stepdad didn’t want a memorial service when he died, so my sisters, mom and I went out on a golf cart and spread his ashes on the golf course.

It was meaningful and special time together, remembering him in a way he would have loved.
