      Mother passed away on 2nd June, 07 at the age of about 83 years.

      Her upper left leg at waist joint was fractured about two and half months back. She was standing at door and due to blow of wind, door struck her and she fell down. I admitted her in Hospital on 21st of April. Doctor advised for operation. Meanwhile, she was put on traction for about 10 days but due to deterioration of her physical condition, operation was not possible. After discussing with my brothers and sister, I requested Doctor not to undertake operation and brought her home on 10th of May.

      Since then she was bedridden and bed sore resulted in death on 2nd June.

      I used to look after her before and after office hours. Day time my wife did a marvelous job to give her all comfort, feed her and keeps her clean.

      My father died in 1971, my elder brother was in college and we other two brothers and one sister were in school and nobody was an earning member in our house. I know how she brought up us from ashes to this comfort level. I cannot forget those days throughout my life.

      Sandeep,

      Your family did the right thing with letting her die at home. Although it was probably a rough time with the bed sore issue – my father went through that Feb 2006. My prayers are for healing to you and your family.

      Sandeep,

      Words can’t express how sad it is to hear of your mother’s death. There is nobody else like your mother, and it sounds like she was certainly also an exceptional person.

      Please accept my sincere condolences, and know that my heart is with you and your family as you grieve her loss.

      Thanks all of you for kind support.

      I was away from home for performing traditional after death ceremony at my elder brother’s house, I could not visit this site earlier.

      As per our Hindu tradition, there are certain procedures to do on 3rd, 9th through 13th day from the date of death (to be performed by the elder or younger son).

      Since my mother was well admired for the hardship she faced during her life, the functions on the 10th & 13th day were well attended by the relatives and family friends.

      Anyway I once again thank you all.
