My mother passed away yesterday. She was 81 years young; had PD for 14 years.
Suffered a Sudden Cardiac Arrest due to Pulmonary Embolism, was not breathing for 15 minutes before they found a pulse. She was on a ventilator for 24 hours, then started breathing on her own; but never woke up. Was in Coma for another10 days until she passed.
Took care of her for 14 years and was with her 24x7
I want to thank all of you for the input/help and sharing your stories, over the past few years.
Take care and be Healthy, Happy and Safe.
Bye.

I'm sorry for your loss, John. You were always there for your mother and that will be one of the great memories of you that she will take with her to her new life!
May you be comforted in your time of sorrow. Your Mom must have been a very special woman who raised you to be such a loving caring son. Thank you for sharing with us her PD journey and posting helpful information. Wishing you all the best and God's many blessings.
John, deepest condolences on the passing of your mother. Thank you for being such a wonderful son and caregiver anyone would be blessed to have. Take comfort that she is completely restored healthy n young again free of the body that had become a burden. In Jesus she has eternal life. She loved you and appreciated all your efforts looking after her.
May you have strength to find time for yourself and rediscover a new you even as you embark on a new path. God bless. You are greatly blessed, highly favored and deeply loved. God knows your heart❤️
Dear John, I want to extend my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your mother. It is an immense loss, and I can only imagine how difficult this time must be for you. It is admirable that you have kept us informed, even during this final phase. The love you shared and the time you spent together will always be a treasure that remains with you.
Thank you for your many contributions to HU. Wishing you strength during this difficult time. Please take the time to grieve and take care of yourself.
The time you willingly lovingly gave to your Mum was full on and as you say 24/7.
That will leave a big void. Please take time to rest reflect and grieve your beautiful Mum.
One thing I notice as I spend time with PWP is how caring kind and affectionate most carers are. You deserve a special place in heaven for the security you gave your Mum over many years .
So sorry for your loss. What a wonderful human you are 💗🤍💛💜
I am sorry for you that this has happened. I mean really sorry and my condolences go out to you.
I to am my mothers full time carer, and I mean full time, I am her shadow and she is mine.
I have never left her side for over 12 years and I keep up the fight to keep her going.
Some people talk about full time caring however they are not there full time 24 hours a day, like you and I are.
So, as I stated I understand better than most what you have done for your mother.
As a Catholic, it does state in the Bible in the book of Timothy 5:4; "Adult children's first responsibility is to show godliness at home and repay their parents by taking care of them. This is something that pleases God."
This has stuck with me since I was a child and out of all the bibles passages, this one always is front of mind.
John, my deepest sympathy to you and your family and thanks for having been on this forum as a carer, which shows you were deeply involved in finding solutions for the best care and outcome for your mom. Now it's time to remember the person (not the illness) and find yourself again as the person (not the carer). Best of luck and wishing you a happy fulfilling life. Odette
So sorry John to hear of your Mothers passing. What a very caring son you were to her, as well as sharing your knowledge with others. You were lucky to have such a lovely relationship which you clearly voiced in your posts to others. Take heart that you clearly did everything possible for your lovely Mum. Being there 24/7 is an amazing commitment you are truly a very generous individual.
Over the years of being on HU you’ve been such a caring contributor helping many others on this website. All the best for the future, whatever you decide to do.
On behalf of your mother I thank you for your wonderful service. I pray for her soul to go to heaven and I ask God to provide what you need to adjust well to your new life. And to reward you eternally !
Oh John, a sad hard time indeed. An untethered time. So much love and caring....your mother indeed blessed to have you for her son...and you, her as your mother, now and always.
John, I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. Caring for a loved one with Parkinson's requires incredible strength and dedication, and I hope you find comfort in knowing how much your care and devotion must have meant to her.
Wishing you peace and healing as you navigate this difficult time. My thoughts are with you.
John, I am so very sorry for your mother's loss. She was so lucky to have a son like you. She left happy for having such a caring son. I know the wound will heal but the scar will always be there to remind you of her, at least this is how I feel although I lost my mother 10 years ago. She will always live in your heart. I also thank you for helping a lot of PWP with your PD knowledge and advice. Please take care of yourself and best wishes in all of your future endeavors.
