I think if just one more person tells me Mom is in a better place, or she lived a very long and full life, or she was 95, and we expected her to go,  I'll just bop them upside the head. 

Oops, I see I put this in the wrong forum. Sorry.

I felt exactly the same way. Fortunately no one has told me that recently. Wishing the best for you. This site is a great place to get support via the forums or via one-on-one chats. Feel free to contact me anytime.
