My father passed away over 10 years ago.He had open heart in 80s and recovered.He fell setting mole traps too.Broke ribs turned into month hospital stay to a speciality hospital to rehab.He was non responsive for weeks.We thought he wasn’t gonna make it.He was so weak he couldn’t zip his pants.Within 6 weeks he did stairs at rehab.He lived to 92.A good rehab can really help.He mowed the day before he died.He never stopped.

You will never, ever regret this. I took care of my Mom and Dad too, and I’m so happy I did. I’m not saying it’s gonna be easy, because it’s not. But be sure you set up respite care for yourself so you can get away for a few days or week. Very important for you to continue the best care for her. God bless you. Be sure to ask her all about her life growing up and stories of family. Record her even, with her permission of course. Get that on tape to. Have fun, and love her to the end…😊❤️

My grandmother is in her nineties and still lives on her farm. She had seven children and since my grandfather died each child took a day to stay with her. When they were not available the grandkids would step in. Most live nearby and I think she appreciates knowing that she can have her peace and independence with help minutes away. It has always been an open door policy at grandmas.

So sorry for your loss.. Cochise got an addition to his heavenly pack yesterday. We just lost our little Ranch boss Fergie. She was a tiny little thing that someone dumped near our ranch. She was an absolute blessing to us for 12 y years. She truly thought she was a full grown shepherd and never shied away from anything. She loved her family and ranch life with all her heart.

My dil asked me to go to their house and get their precious Klyde. He as born with a cleft lip and they were going to put him down cause they were afraid he’d never eat. She took him home and bottle fed him. He lived 10 years. Then fell ill. She asked me to take him to her vet and she’d meet me there after work. The vet said his end was near. She made the decision to let the vet put him down. While he was gone to get the shot, she was holding Klyde talking to him. We were both crying when he took a deep breath and was gone. All before the vet came back. He had a loving family and is still missed.

My mother passed away in my arms she was 98 I knew she went so peaceful I knew she was with the Lord. What really upset me was the little dog I rescued for my mother he wasn’t very old the little dog suddenly went into violent seizures and I found myself doing CPR on my little doggie snout to mouth while rushing to my local veterinarian the doggie passed away I was so upset and cried. I felt guilty for being more upset in doggie passing than my own mother recent passing. I felt guilty for being more emotional over our doggies death than my mother!

[@sharondoan1447]

I understand. You expected your mother to die because of all the circumstances , including age, that led to her passing from this life into heavenly life. The death of the dog was an out of your control catastrophe.

Let me tell you something, I'm a 6-foot 250 lb man and I haven't cried in 40 years since I got out of the military. I was in law enforcement for years and seen a lot of s***. If I get a gash or cut, I get needle and thread and sew my own self up. I only go to the doctor if I can't stop the bleeding or I can't reach to sew it. I've got my Meniscus completely torn out wearing a brace trying to run this 40 Acre Farm by myself. I'm waiting to get a whole new knee this fall so they can attach it to something. I had to put down my Bluetick beagle on my birthday in April. I cried like a baby with colic

72 years old and still working like a 20 year old. I have a small garden, 21 colonies of bees I work with year round, cut the grass in the beeyard,weedeat and cut the grass at home. Not counting what I do in the house-- cleaning cooking for myself and 2 of my sons. They help when the can but they also work.

[@shelly936]

I had to make that decision. His name was, is Danny. Danny boy was the best boy. Never will I ever replace him either. I knew he was special already, but the day we picked him up, decided to take him for a walk before taking him home. Every person who passed us asked us, "Did you adopt Danny?"Everytime we answered, each person would cry and say they were happy tears because he was so loved by these volunteers. I understand your pain, Patera. Having to make the decision was after 4 separate vet consultations. This was harder then my divorce. The puppy we had gotten the last 2 years before his passing is 11 now & still cries & does that long, deep, sorrowful howl in her sleep like the day i had to make the decision...... it's been 9 years and we can't even say his name in her presence because she will go lay down and cry. She is the sweetest girl. Whoever said "diamonds are a girl's best friend"..never had a dog! I could care less about diamonds, but I LOVE DOGS! ❤

[@jennil7797]

Losses of animals, even those that are expected due to age or sickness, are still painful. By tradition round here, when someone's livestock goes to market, we still tell them we are sorry for their loss. It is hard seeing lambs or calves you have handled, cared for, perhaps even brought to life after a birthing that was not quite perfect, go. The loss of a much loved companion animal is even harder to cope with, but the joy they have brought us for years eventually rises in memory to ease it. God bless you Nanna Peggy. Get to go the muscle strengthening physio. Patara and the rest of your family want you back with them soon. What a great family you guys are! Happy Independence Day to all in the US. (Think of us in the UK then if you can, it's our election day and, whatever hapens, I truly think we will still be in a mess😓. We need your prayers please.)
