Just got a phone call from my sister. My mother passed away this afternoon at the age of 87. She had been ill for years and in a nursing home. I'm fine, but my sister is the one who feels like she has to handle everything and generally gets into a frazzle. Just keep her in your thoughts.
I hope my mother is finally at peace. She suffered from some form of mental illness and physical illness most of her life. She wasn't a good mother by any standards and it's very sad that her life was what it was.
I'm not grieving, because if anything this will be closure for me and my siblings. It was never a happy or loving place in my home but we fortunately, came to have our own lives that have been both happy and productive.
