I’ve lost both my parents. They were old and dying was inevitable. We had a stormy relationship to the end. I was not a very good daughter to them. Some things I wish I could do over. Maybe they can know that somehow.

Treasure them while you can. Tell them how you feel about them while you still can while they’re alive and say everything you want to say to them before they’re gone. When my dad died ten years ago there was so much I wanted to say to him before he died but I didn’t. I’ll regret that for the rest of my life.
When my mom died 5 years ago, right before she died I got to tell her how I felt about her and thank her for everything and tell her I loved her. But after she died I thought of so much more I wish I would have said to her but I’ll never have that chance.

You’re making me tear up. Yes I know. My mom calls everyday. She’s been under the weather lately. Anyway, Nick you’re right.

Why would your thread get banned? You’re fixating on one closed thread. Just follow the rules and you’re fine.
What closed thread?

My dad died of lung cancer when I was 18. It sucked, and continues to suck. The worst part is that now, almost 14 years later, I have trouble remembering some things.

My mom died of a stroke when I was just 15 (a decade ago). In a way, I was relieved at the time, as bad as it sounds. She honestly is the reason I almost died of appendicitis at 12 and caused my hardcore lifelong anxiety issues, mainly surrounding my intelligence.
I can’t really even remember her face in a detailed way at all. I have to look at pictures to remember what she looked like.

I have the same thoughts as you.
My uncle died from pancreatic cancer at 36 y.o. 2 months after being diagnosed. Morphine injections did not stop his pain and his pancreas and liver kept increasing in size, he looked pregnant. It then spread to his brain and got him into a coma during which he died of a heart attack. I wanted to cry but couldn’t bcz of my sz. I still remember how he was yelling and crying from pain in the hospital.

My mother also had schizophrenia. She was violent when not medicated, which was every time she got pregnant. She died of Chronic Granulyetic luekimia. My father developed Alzheimer’s when she died and lived another six years and died of a massive heart attack with a cigarette in his hand. I don’t miss either one.

Lost my mom over 30 years ago and never knew my dad. My mom was no loss, our relationship improves with every year since her passing.
