I usually do not talk about my private life too much on here but I just want to say my ex's mother died today. She and her husband were married for 62 years. She was a really good person. And as much as I know 88 years is a long life. 50 of them were either in a wheel chair or a walker.
Her husband got there ten minutes before she died. They said he held her hand and then he said his goodbyes and her eyes flickered then she peacefully left this earth.
Just wanted to say thanks Betty for being a very kind mother in law to me.
It sounds like her passing was peaceful, you can take comfort in that. No matter the age, whether the passing is expected or not, it's always tough. Take care and know that you and your ex's family are in my prayers.
My condolences, there is no easy way to deal with the loss of a family member or a close friend. I wish you and your family peace and comfort in this trying time. It has been my experience that this kind of loss is never forgotten but over time you will find ways to remember and honor those we have lost and find comfort in their memorial.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Just helping my kids through it. But you know they always handle death better than I do.
Even though my ex and I are not together anymore, I just wanted to say something about her. Everyone deserves a send off. And being married 62 years in today's world is a huge accomplishment. I am feeling very bad for her husband right now. He is in his nineties. What a hard thing to deal with.
