My heart goes out to you and your family, this kind of this is never easy and is generally pretty fucking terrible all around. I lost my mom in 2018 after a pretty prolonged and slow to cease battle with cancer.
When she was in end-of-life care something small that helped her feel a bit better was trying to make the space as homey as possible. Lots of pictures, her favorite blanket, and a friend of hers even brought some large stuffed animals that lived on her bed. It was something small that helped in the immediate moment.
I also echo everyone here saying to prepare for the grief but also prepare to sit with it for longer than you think you’ll need. I was only home for about a week after she passed before going back to school across the country, and not having my family/hometown network to grieve with really stunted and prolonged my healing process.
Also a bit bleak, but my mom and I were able to have a sort of ”closing” convo where we said goodbyes, and she told me her wishes for me, etc. if you’re able, it was a really powerful conversation to have and something I hold close when I’m having a particularly hard grief day (which still happen 6 years out! All part of the process)💛

My dad passed young.
My mom and brother both passed the same week (my brother from suicide).
My best friend died of cancer in 2021. After getting clean bloodwork just five weeks before.
The one truism about life is that death is always near. So loss is an inevitable part of our lives on this planet.
Make the most of every day.
Loss may be my baggage 🧳 but it is also my salvation.
If I love you, it is for real, and it is forever. ❤️
I try to always keep that thought in my heart. Where it belongs. And isn’t much like baggage at all.

not sure if this is a rec or anti rec BUT no matter how many times goodbyes happen its always hard to say and they're really quite weird too
depending on the situation, you hope to see the person again but theres no 100% certainty on whether you will see them
also the emotion at the time is kinda shocking for lack of a better word
but yeah been a hell of a day and so exhausted and the only comfort i have tonight is my dads oversized tshirt which i will be rocking all the time for sure until he's back

it’s the perfect cap to any meal . crispy edges, gooey center. i usually prefer fruit + cream desserts but nothing truly beats a fresh chocolate chip cookie. don’t let it be fluffy and soft, eat a muffin if that’s the texture ur looking for and leave the classic cookie out of it ! why must u play God…
