I'm alive because of my mom, too. When I first tried to ctb, I had a vision of her at my funeral. I couldn't go through with it. I'm her only child. She gave up so much for me. My death would destroy her.
I've thought about waiting for her to die. She is old and in poor health, yet I still feel like she has years left. But I don't think I can wait that long.
I just had to comment on your post as it hit me so, so hard and made me cry. Please let me explain myself before anyone comes after me.
I hope, pray and wish that you can hold on and/or wait till your mom moves on, as for me, and yes, I have mentioned it so, so many times on here already, I was NEVER wanted and when I got 18 was kicked out and never heard from my family again ever. One day out of the blue a person from my home area must have found one of my phone numbers, I have multiple ones for work, and informed me that my "mom" had moved on. It just me like a ton of bricks, yes, they were crapped to me for 18 years, but she still was my mom, who carried me for 9 months in her belly.
I tried to contact my older brother and younger sister and received a call from another person who said that I was to be informed that I was not welcomed to any type of funeral or anything.
It still hurts to this day, always unwanted till the end of time, I guess.
Please, if at all possible, wait, you will regret it some place, some time, somewhere. This is not the only existence that you or me or anyone will experience.
Plese disagree with me all everyone wants, but please be thoughtful, kind and constructive in one's responses.
