On Thursday, my 97 year old mom died. My son, my sister and me were at her side in her home in Palm Desert. She wouldn’t go to the hospital, so we had hospice nurses in the house the last few weeks. She got sick after New Years and never recovered.

Pictured below with me on her 97th birthday. Wonderful mom my whole life, I miss her already.

Man that sucks , my mom just hit 94, and is surprisingly still in her home and generally in shape when I visit nightly.

No matter the age of the child, or the parent, it's a hard thing to endure. Pass on the stories to the next generation, and enjoy the time you have too.

RIP

I hope your family is doing as best as possible.

Thanks for all the consideration.......she had a great life. Great work by the hospice agency. They were so good to her. It’s a hard process. I spent 20 years on ambulances and emergency rooms. But its nothing like your family.

The spirit just sees to go out, and you feel the loss....but mom is in heaven. She never hurt anyone in her life.

At 97 your Mom was gorgeous and I'm sure she was even more beautiful in so many ways. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

We feel your pain my mother in-law passed away this past December. Over the last four to five years she suffered from dementia and was saddened to live it with her. The one bit of advice I can give anyone out there that is lucky enough to have a grandmother or mom is to say "Mom or Grandma, You Look Beautiful Today". Guaranteed you will put a big smile on their face that will last an eternity with you...
