My mom is gone

So sorry
Ginny, take time to grieve, and then take stock of her life and yours. You've been a truly great daughter, and you know your mom loves you. And so do we all.

Hi Ginny
I think Terry said it best...thank you for sharing your mom with us. I think I know how incredibly hard this was on you. You poured your heart out to us and we all embraced you. Your love for you mom was evident in every post. You were an amazing caretaker and my heart aches for you. This awful cancer has been so hard on so many of us.
I pray that wonderful healthy memories of your mom will bring you some comfort over the coming days and weeks. Saying goodbye to someone we love so much is the hardest thing we'll ever endure. I'm glad she was comfortable and pain free and you were able to be right there with her. I'm also so glad you had that magical moment when she got mad. As difficult as it was for you to be her principal caregiver, you'll never regret doing that for her - and for yourself. May God wrap his arms around you and give you some peace and rest.
Love Rita

So very sorry to hear about
So very sorry to hear about your mum. You were with her every step of her horrible EC journey, you couldn't have done more. Please take comfort in the fact that she is now at peace, no more suffering for her and walk down memory lane with all your lovely memories. Big hugs to you and your brother.

Wife of Alan, who departed this life January 31st.

Sounds like she fought a tough battle. With you at her side.

Thinking of You
Hi Ginny
I am sending you my deepest sympahties to you and your family on the loss of your mom. I lost my dad to esophageal cancer in March 2010. Your story sounds familiar to ours. My brother lives in NJ we live in Va. My brother made the trip to Va the day my dad passed.
My dad was surrounded by his family when he passed. He went peacefully, like your mom.

It is a wonderful memory for us to have. They are not longer suffering, no longer in pain, no longer battling cancer. May God grant you and your family the strength and peace you all need at this difficult time. Keep in touch. I do, it has been two years, I come here often. It helps me to help others.

So sorry to hear your mom has passed due to this awful disease. I think losing your mom is one of the hardest thing to deal with. I was very close to my mom also and it doesn't matter how old you get, you still think of yourself as their daughter. Hold onto the memories and be proud of the care you gave her. She is now in heaven looking over you and smiling.

I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I know you will be forever grateful that you were able to be there with her the last few moments of her life. I do understand what you mean when you say there are no words to describe what you are feeling. I loved seeing a picture of you and your Mom in better times on Facebook. You both looked so happy! I will keep you close in my thoughts and prayers. Love to you - Kim

Ginny,
What a full picture
Ginny,

What a full picture you have painted here on CSN of your mother. I wish I could have known her in person. I feel for your loss. It is hard for me to fathom the loss of a parent. Take time to find your feet again. You have an angle on your journey with you.

Godspeed,
Lee Ann
