Mom's alive and livin' life! Dad's dead. I found him a couple years ago on the kitchen floor in death rattles, surrounded by bloody vomit. Brain bleeds, man. I'm just glad I was the one who found him so my mom didn't have to deal with the mess.

Butter cookie tins need to be full of sewing supplies, you should help out with that.

Laterite posted:Dad dead for 5 years now; long, drawn-out, awful to watch. Thanks, Robert McNamara. I’m in a similar situation. Dad had a few strokes that continuously robbed him of living life normally until the last year of his life where he was basically a vegetable. It was awful to watch a kind man who loved to sing and be a jokey smartass become an incoherent husk of a person. gently caress strokes. Mom lost the use of her kidneys and is on dialysis now, and she almost died from pneumonia a couple of years ago because she refused to go to the doctor and wound up in the hospital in a medically induced coma for three weeks. I think she was giving up on life after the loss of my dad, but she quickly realized that’s not the way. She now takes great care of herself and is in the best shape medically and physically a 74 year old woman can be. And yes, I take her to all her appointments, too.

Dad died January of 2020 of cancer, after fighting it for several years. He got to skip COVID, I guess. Mom died of kidney failure Christmas of 2021 after she chose to end dialysis.

My folks are 66 and 67 and still married and they even still like each other. They had me fairly young, I’m in my mid 40s. Mum told me today that they’re looking at a place in a retirement village that is an hour and a half away from the city my sister and I live in. It’s not built yet so it’s a few years away probs, but it would be nice to have them a bit closer, but not toooo close. They’re currently two and a half hours away so I don’t visit very often. I should, but petrol is really expensive here and my car takes the strong stuff because it is silly and Italian. They come down about once a month but it’s mostly to see their grandson (my nephew) and they often just don’t tell me they’re in town. We have an okay relationship.

My parents are 73 years old this year. They were high school sweethearts and are still married. Coming up on 50th wedding anniversary I think next year? I love my parents and I fear for their death at times. Especially my dad since he smokes and drinks still. But my mom has a heart condition so that's not so great either. At least they've gotten to experience being grandparents of my neice so they lived to see that. I wish my grandma was still alive to meet her but she would be over 100 years old. She died just before her 93rd birthday. That was a hard one because it happened suddenly so I didn't get to say goodbye.

my parents did have a pretty bitter divorce, but I was 18 when they got divorced so I didn't really give too much of a poo poo and was glad they finally addressed the elephant in the room. They finally got over it by acting like adults and not loving talking to each other anymore. They've both been with their partners for close to 20 years at this point. My mom's boyfriend is a good buddy and we like talking about working on our Rangers and computer poo poo. My dad's girlfriend is... fine, once she stopped trying to get me to treat her like a stepmom our relationship improved greatly.

With the greatest of respect I'm not sure you can really call dying at 93 "sudden" as much as living a rich and fulfilling life. I had two grandparents live into their 90s and I'm not sure I'd even want to be alive with the sort of quality of life they were experiencing at that point.

My father died when I was so young that I don't remember him much at all. He died of a stress-related heart attack, which impressed on me from a young age to stay as chill as humanly possible. Mom died almost 20 years ago. She loved my dad so much that she could never bring herself to remarry. I'm now about a dozen years older than my father ever was, which is a bizarre thought.

Your mother died 20 years ago, but you are only 12 years older than your father when he died? How old was your father? 6?

Captain Rufus posted:Both my parents were dead by the time I was 30. I refuse to visit my mother's grave. Because even though I paid for the stone I would be hard pressed not to smash the hell out of it. Yeah the thing about that is, not only do they not giving a flying gently caress what you think or how you feel, and either don’t understand your grievances or pretend to the hilt not to, they also will reliably get ‘revenge’ by inflicting damage to and sabotaging your life in unpredictable ways both immediately after, and vindictively into the future. So like, sometimes the lifetime of pain around how they treat ya is gona be there no matter what, and as much as I’d dearly love to be able to get through to them, and have tried to all my life, it’s -clearly- not a possibility so… yeah. Pretty sure everyone with truly hosed parents have tried to make amends over and over and over again (I know I have), or make them understand something of how their behaviour affects you but it just doesn’t seem to work that way. They are simply missing those circuits in the brain or something Minotaurus Rex fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Oct 31, 2023 |

Mom died in 2018 of Cancer. In later years she had 3 distinct cancers. Two were dealt with, One dealt with her. Dad died in 2020 of Alzheimer's. His funeral was one week before the COVID lockdown. Both of my parents are buried in the National Cemetery in Phoenix. It was nice of them to die in February, when it's cool enough that you can be outdoors. I really would have hated August funerals. My mother-in-law was 89 when she died in May. My father-in-law died in 2000. I guess Mrs. Genesplicer and I are officially orphans.

My mother killed herself when I was a small child, around 2-3 years old. My dad died in 2013 of heart failure. If that hadn't killed him the two cancers he had would have.

My mom died from lung cancer in 2016 due to smoking two packs of cigs per day since she was 14. She was cool as poo poo though and raised me on The Clash and Black Flag. My dad was a piece of poo poo who bailed on the family when I was 12 and had multiple kids with multiple women. He ended up buying a radio station in Texas and dying from COVID lol

Mom died early April 2021. Not covid related. But hey, helpful reminder to fight alcoholism with every fiber of your being if it's a problem you have. Do it for yourself, do it for your loved ones, do it for friends and family. It's a fight worth winning. My dad is still alive but if my little brother wasn't still on good terms with him I'd have probably cut him out of my life completely. Father in law is a good dude. A really good man. Mother in law died shortly after my wife and I got married. By the time we got married she was in hospice care so we drove over to her after the ceremony before we moved onto the honeymoon. Christ, sorry if I'm bringing things down. Just haven't really put it all out like that before.

Dad dead since 2000. gently caress cancer. But Mom is still kicking and slowly driving me nuts as Mom's will sometimes do. But she means well and is great with the grandkids and takes em to swim practice. I still miss my dad too this day, but I'm also kind of glad he's gone so that I didn't have to watch him turn into a MAGA idiot. But he was a salesman and hated other salesmen, so who knows how he would have been.

Mom's alive and well, but Dad kicked the bucket this February after fighting heart failure for 11+ years. Even when he was "bedridden" and incoherent in the last few weeks he would somehow find the strength to remove his oxygen and hobble out of the hospital bed in our living room when we weren't watching him, wandering to the bathroom and his bedroom. Just 3 days before he passed he made one more trip from Mom's bed to the couch in the middle of the night, astounding us. I miss him a bunch.

Both of my parents are still alive and married but they are alcoholics and pretty miserable. My mom’s drinking is so bad that she gave herself brain damage and lost her cushy government job a few years ago. It is depressing as gently caress because I just want them to be happy, but it’s like they forgot how. I live in fear that I will get a call that my mom died in the night or my dad got drunk and fell out of his treehouse

Mom's still alive and we get along great. Dad died about three years ago after long term mental health issues worsened into a terminal spiral. Dude was a bastard in several ways and it's mostly a relief not having to worry about him any more. He also very deliberately wrote his will to make sure my mom and I would get nothing whatsoever. Thanks, fucker.
