▲ 132 r/ALS
My mom, my best person in the whole world, passed away today
My mom had bulbar ALS and passed away 13 months post symptom onset. She was so strong and taught me so much. She was only 61.
She was in Ukraine while I divided my life between Ukraine and Portugal. She died only a week after I returned back to Portugal, after weeks of caregiving to help my dad get some rest.
I’m not sure how to navigate this loss, but I try my best, and will carry her legacy with pride.
I love her so much my body physically hurts. Please hug your love ones, hold them close, make sure they know how loved they are. Every moment counts.
