What's your favorite comfort food?

--and especially the skin off of the top of warm chocolate pudding. . .

had to sneak in the fridge to steal it while mom wasn't looking.

 
((((Maria))) I am so sorry to hear this, It is good you got to spend time with her over the

holidays. Big hugs and a nice bowl of mashed potatoes and gravy to you, my dear.

 
((Maria)) Out mothers are our first loves in life. It hurts at any age. My condolences.

When my dad passed away three years ago, I had the overwhelming urge to bake bread. (It wasn't totally Freudian, I knew a lot of people would be flying in and needed to be fed, but still.) I went shopping for supplies and groceries, and at Trader Joe's I bought their canned buiscuit dough. I spent the day kneading, forming and baking bread, working with my hands, and I ate a whole pan of biscuits. It was very therapeutic.

 
It sure is difficult. Though she will be more comfortable now, Mom's are always special guys and

it's hard on us to lose them. She really lived a long life Maria.

When they have dementia, it seems as though the process of losing them is ongoing. That is the really sad part.

Nothing we can say will help, it just takes time.

 
Thinking of U, Maria, & wishing U comfort. I turn 2 ice cream when life throws me a curve ball. A

hot fudge sundae with Spanish peanuts is at the top of my feel-better list!

 
Thanks all....I've been eating all the bad food, but doing better now.

It's difficult with dementia, she only recently had times of not knowing us, and hid it well. However, when I asked her what it was like she said everything seems out of place and yesterday seems like months ago - and sometimes she wasn't even sure who she was. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, let alone my mom. So though it hurts so much she is gone, I'm glad she isn't living like that anymore.

Thank you all for your support, it really helps. smileys/heart.gif

 
Maria, I'm so sorry.

My mom and I didn't even get on that well some of the time, but it was very hard to lose her and I still miss her. Eat her favorite foods and remember her..
