[quote=Anonymous]I grieved my father over the many years of his decline. By the time he passed he was very ill and unable to do anything independently and in pain so I was relieved. I miss him, but I am glad he is not suffering. We still have a relationship. I feel like sends me signs and I share things with him in my head. I prefer this to seeing him suffering. I was close with him and saw him very often throughout my life so I feel fortunate.

With my mother, she is still living and I have mourned the woman I could have a relationship with already. For the past maybe 6 years she has gotten progressively more hostile, even with medication. I am finally at the point I forgot what it was like to have a nice relationship, but she always had this side just not so pronounced. So mainly I just try to manage things she I don't deal with a tirade of insults.

I get waves of sadness more with the loss of my brother because I didn't get to go through the whole lifecycle with him, but I am glad he no longer suffers. I talk to him too and he sends me signs, but it is different than with my dad and I miss the friendship. Not sure about phases, but I did feel relief at first because he was so ill and it was torture to see him suffer for so long.[/quote]
