So sorry, brother… I understand the “weight lifted off your shoulders” comment as I lost my mom last June after 12 years of Alzheimer’s disease and my dad passed 5 months later, last November. I’m more comfortable knowing they’re safe now. I had no idea how much fear I was in until they were gone. I don’t have to worry about terrible falls, abusive old folks home staff, suffering… it’s truly a relief, but I miss them both terribly.
We had our share of problems… permanent problems but they’re now gone, too. palmettomoon gave great advice… the freedom comes with letting go sometimes. Resentment is like drinking poison and hoping someone else dies.
Prayers up for you and yours, my friend.
