By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

you'll always miss your mama but I hope you can enjoy some part of your day - I recommend pancakes and hot cocoa to start
I know this is a hard season for you. Hang in there, it will pass. Much love and prayers for you.
Some people have said this all gets easier,but it sure hasn't for me.
People have said I should be glad,that now she isn't suffering and she's with Jesus,I hope they're right. I pray she's with my Dad and all her loved ones in Heaven....
I'd just give anything for one more hug,that's all.
I will always miss my sweet monster.
Grieving my father was different. He was my nurturing parent and I miss him to this day. He was kind and cuddly to me as a child, and warm and affectionate to me as an adult. He nurtured and taught us, and took great pride in us. Over the dinner table my father challenged us on Shakespeare quotes. He was essential to my growth and development to, at least, a somewhat normal individual. I will never forget the childhood lullabies my father sang when he tucked me into bed. He had a wonderful Welsh baritone voice. Of course he had faults, we all do, but I am so thankful that he was in my life. So very thankful. Every year at Christmas he read the "Christmas story" from the gospels. Every year at Christmas I think on that and savor the memories. They warm my heart,
Anyway, I just saw the thread and just wanted to contribute to keeping it alive.
bringing this thread back to the top.
raw, honest emotions
hugs to you tonight
You rest too.
Tomorrow you can donate any flowers that may be too much.
Condolences to your sis too.
It will get easier, and you won't need to forget your loved one for the pain to lessen.
Mom wasn't the "norm" at all and she was funny and fun to be around.Same as my Dad.I miss them both so much
Thanks to all of you who have been there for me,it's meant the world~
It does get better and then a memory will trigger something and it gets bad again but you will get through it. The silliest thing can make me cry. For instance, I was grocery shopping the other day and was looking at some green leaf lettuce which was one my Mom always asked me to pick up for her every week when I got her groceries. Ridiculous............standing crying over the lettuce aisle.
Good Luck with your grieving. Come here often, it does help.
Just wanting to thank you, and acknowledge your good work!
I hope the dear people on here that have lost their loved one's will continue to be with us.I don't know where I'd be now without the support Iv'e received on here since I lost Mother.It's kept me going and I know I'm not alone,that there are other's who lost their dear parent and they are moving forward and that has given me the hope that I will too.
