Bit of background: my mum passed away on 27th August She was 100 and a half and passed away peacefully. She was found in her chair at the care home. Up until she was 97 she was managing to live independently but then there were subtle changes, ie imagining things and confusion etc followed by a fall for which she was admitted to the local hospital. Following a talk with the consultant it was decided she would be safer in a care home.
Mum was really difficult about this and stated she would only stay a week then she was going to her home. Her brain was working quite well again and I did wonder whether we had made a mistake. It took ages for her to settle in then she developed a cold and the confusion really set in. Imagining people in the room, being taken out etc, she still knew us but had no interest which was so unlike her.
As I say she passed away on 27th and the funeral is next week. I think there must be something wrong with me, I haven't cried once yet up until she was 97 she was my best friend. We always shopped together, had meals out, she came to our house, interested in her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Why am I feeling nothing? Anybody else felt like this and do you cry eventually or never.
