    I follow you on tiktok and I cried when you said she passed. Your videos are beautiful and so inspiring. I love the inspiration that you have done as a care taker for your mom as most Latinos don't talk about the good and bad times. Thank you for transparency with everything.

    My condolences to you and your family.
    You grieve while she was living. As, I have done when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and she was so weak she couldn't hug the joy of her life, her granddaughters. That alone had me quietly sobbing in a room by myself. I grieved before my family and when she passed I was able to support my sisters and brothers through their grieving. I scheduled an appointment with a therapist just to talk about how and where will I go for answers since I no longer had my best friend, my mother. I never trusted or confide in anyone but her. She is in a much better place, as your mother, too.
    Well, I enjoyed your videos. Please come back whenever you can. My notification button is on for whenever you release another video. Hope, it's soon. 😊

    My condolences to you and your family. Our family have been going through this dementia journey with my mom for 6 years and recently our dad. It’s nothing short of the most difficult thing to deal with.
    I commend you and your sister for caregiving.
    Thank you for sharing

    Rebeca, my deepest condolences 🤍🕊️ I actually started following you when I came across an old video of yours on Instagram regarding your mom unfortunately having dementa ☹️ Why, because I’m going through that right now & I have to say, you can be surrounded by many people, but it still feels like a lonely road. Because of this, I’m drawn to those who can relate from a personal experience, especially those who overcome. I too am Christian, grew up Pentecostal, so I can relate in so many ways. I find stories like yours very encouraging. Besides the hope that God gives us, coming across stories like yours helps add fire to that hope 🙏🏼♥️ Oh btw, I now also follow you because I enjoy your your recipes & your humble down to earth ways!! 😂 Yes, my mami is still with us 🙏🏼 & although as you know an emotional rollercoaster of emotions & grieving, I see it as God giving me time to grow stronger & be ready for the day…I pray I walk in peace for God’s glory to be revealed!! 1:26 🙌🏼 I’m not only following you on Instagram, I am now subscribed to your UA-cam channel! 😊

      Wow! This message is so powerful and I deeply appreciate you sharing your personal journey with caretaking and dementia. I pray that God will renew your strength not just daily…but hourly, minute by minute because certain days feel like that exactly is what’s needed. Thank you so much for being apart of this community and sharing your experience mamita. ❤🙏🏽

    My condolences to tou ans family. I enjoyed the videos you posted in IG with your mom. I too was experiencing the long goodbye with my dad who passed away a year ago from Louie Body Dementia. My mom was diagnosed with same condition a year ago, one week after my father's passing. Your sharing reminds me to take time to make her aware of all good things she has done and lessons learned along the way. I haven't seen her since my dad's funeral November '22 and I am breaking away from my anxiety to fly to NYC from Florida to see her. Thank you for reminding me this is a season. I will stay in faith and the course knowing, we all will be reunited again. Love,peace and blessings to you. ❤🙏🏼

    Hi Rebecca, I am sorry to learn about the passing of your mom. Thank you for sharing this update with us on here. I have some similarities with my parents that you mention here. My parents have been married over 60 years too. They are also from PR and provided for me and my siblings as best and as much within their means. For that I will always be grateful to them. I am starting to see my mom experiencing some dementia she’s 79. My dad is 82 and in very delicate health. I know that the time will come when I will lose them, but I hope that I can deal with it like you have.

    I'm so sorry, I remember you always making cooking videos and making content with your mom. I just lost my step dad last Tuesday, 😢 this is the hardest pill I had to swallow, besides my grandfather I ever went through, I can understand what you are going through. Time was precious, your mom was a beautiful and gentle soul. My gramma is going through the same thing currently. Now shes at rest with your dad watching you, your sister, brother and her grandkids.

    @rebeccanieveshuffman Thank you so much for sharing. Yes, I tuned in to watch you and your mother all of the time. Moments that are memories and blessings. I lost my aunt/mother two years and I have been feeling lost without her so I listen to the last voicemail or videos to content my heart as my tears roll down my cheek. How is your sister doing?

    Becky I’ve missed you on Instagram
    And Facebook- I deleted my accounts due to issues that I was having w privacy . I just wanted to tell you that I miss your and Omi’ content. My dad sent me one of your posts from FB - the one about if you bring home someone and they don’t eat pork or believe in Jesus . He is from Arecibo like your family . He didn’t know - that made him smile 🙏🏼

    Thanks for sharing your update. I began watching you when your mom came to live with you. I enjoyed that content as I too am a caregiver for both of my parents. My dad army vet diagnosed with late stages of myasthenia gravis and my mom with stage 4 Alzheimer’s. I actually moved them from Orlando to live with me in PA.
    It’ll be 3 years in April.
    My husband and sons have shared beautiful memories with my parents along with adjusting our lives to ease the challenges.
    I’ve learned to allow myself space to grieve alongside so many other caretakers in this journey.
    I’m grateful for your virtual support! 💜
    (Pentecostal upbringing)😁

      So many things in common! It truly helps people connect and feel supported when sharing shared experiences. You are a PHENOMENAL daughter and your husband and sons are angels. Not every spouse is supportive of allowing a loved one who is sick to move in with them. I’m so grateful my husband without flinching blessed the idea of her living with us. ❤ sending you so much love hugs and prayers of strength ❤
