I should have posted this sooner, but just a lot has been going on and quite frankly posting something like this on Tumblr was the last thing on my mind. Anyway, my mom's health had slowly been declining since around May when she got C. Diff. And despite having gone to rehab for a month in June, she did not gain any strength back. She had become unable to sit up or get out of bed without any assistance, and even then it would require two people to get her up and in her wheelchair.
Because I was the only one living with her, it was much safer for her to stay in bed all the time, meaning I had to change and clean her and bring her all her meals. A few times she would try and get out of bed without letting me know and would end up falling. It was all very stressful that I eventually couldn't handle taking care of her by myself, and the last time she fell, I told to EMTs that I could no longer take care of her.
Since July she had been staying at a skilled nursing facility. Unfortunately, her health slowly continued to decline and on December 10th, at around 1:30 pm, she passed away. I will miss her greatly, but know that she is now no longer suffering and is in Heaven with her Lord and Savior, as well as my dad and all of her family. She was a wonderful, kind, caring and loving mother and woman, and I hope that if I am ever blessed with children that I can be half the kind of mother she was to me.
