My Mom is gone

After a year long battle with uterine cancer, my Mom passed away yesterday afternoon at 3:15. She was not alone when she died. My husband was with me at the time along with my brother and sister in law. My cousins were also there to see her pass. It is a sad and difficult time. I love her so much and miss her dearly. No more pain for her and for that I am grateful. I apoligized to her for the arguments we had the week before and hope she has forgiven me. She was a great lady.

    Sympathy for your family
    My heart goes out to you and your family during this time of loss. I know all of you will miss her very much and yet are relieved that she no longer must endure the pain and heartache of cancer.

    We don't ever get over the loss of our parents, we just incorporate that missing piece into our lives and hold our memories dear.

    Peace and love to you and the entire family,

    No words
    No words can say what I want to say to you, so I won't try. I lost my dad 22 years ago, my mom 2 years ago and my last surviving aunt 2 weeks ago. I know how you feel and feel with you at this time.

    So sorry
    I am so sorry for your loss. I lost My husband in March and I am not even going to pretend that anything anyone says to you right now will help. Sadly no matter how prepared we think we are for the end it still comes as a shock to our system. God bless you and your family .

    Sorry
    Please know that many of us here are sharing your pain. Maybe just knowing that will help a little. I have no doubt that your mother did forgive you for your arguments. Mom are like that. She knew you loved her and that is what counts. Hugs and prayers, Fay

    My Heart Felt Sympathies
    Hi Beagle,
    May I send to you and your family my sympathies for the passing of your mom. We all had a hard couple of weeks with you. We were all thinking the same thing...when will she go? Mom knew she was going to. Just like my dad did. It is so wonderful to hear that all of the family, or alot of the family was there when she passed. And...I am so proud of you for saying you were sorry for all of the previous arguements. That is great, and a huge weight lifted off of your shoulders. You would not want to carry that guilt around with you. You all did a wonderful job taking care of her, and she knew it. God bless you and keep you at this difficult time. And from someone who's dad passed away in March...it does get better, it does get easier. Thinking and praying for all of you.
    Tina

    forgiveness reigns
    ssf, I am so sorry for your loss. I feel frustrated with my mother today, and it's hard to believe that I'll soon be in your shoes.

    Don't worry about that little argument, which was all about love anyway. Where your mother is now, only love and forgiveness reign.
