So sorry to hear this. You
So sorry to hear this. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers today. My sister is on hospice and now on oxygen 24/7. So I know what it has been for you. Sending lots of cyber hugs your way.0 -
thinking of you, a lot
I'm sorry to hear of your loss, but it was your mother's gain after all. Like you, I am sure she is in a better place now, no suffering or trouble. I'm startled, too, to see how fast things can change. My mother is still hanging in, but getting weirder by the day. The next few weeks will be interesting.
After seeing some of your recent posts I've been thinking of you, a lot. Isn't it strange how much there is to learn in this process? At this point I'm more amazed than sad. Wishing you a good grief. There really is such a thing.0 -

It is a miracle in itself, much like birth, where there are always surprises and things to make you laugh and cry, and reflect on the mysteries of life. My prayers go out to you, Barbara, it's going to be a wild ride. And yes, there is such a thing as 'good grief'....I know this because Charlie Brown says it all the time.....

Death and suffering....we all reach out to each other here and pray and help. I hope for your sister to have peace, and for you to have it, knowing she has achieved it. Thanks for the hugs....right back at 'cha.

Hello my dear friend Angel
God bless you and your dad and family at this most difficult time. I have been wondering where you have been. I am so glad that your mom went peacefully and was able to have family around her. It is so important when you get to this stage of the journey to let the person know it is ok to leave. It is great that you and dad gave her your blessing. Glad you sister was there to help you as well. Now your mom and my dad are in the kingdom of God. Living there for eternity, with no pain, no suffering, no sickness. I can not wait until we see them again! Stay in touch. Hugs to you and dad, you did a wonderful job taking care of her in her time of need.

It still feels odd knowing Mom's not around anymore....It comes back to reality at the weirdest times.0 -
Reality can be a bummer. This is still new to you. Time will make it easier if not better. Grief does seem to hit us at the oddest times. It is often the little things that seem to set it off or even nothing at all. I know telling you that this is all normal doesn't really help, but it is. Take care, FayAKAngel said:Thank you

Sorry for your loss
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear mother. Sometimes it can take a long while for the shock to wear off and the pain of losing them to run its natural course.
You seem to be able to look at every side of this situation including a little humor about her last days. This, and the necessary rituals of finding just the right urn to honor her with, will be very important in your healing.
It sounds like you have a wonderful family and they are all bonding together in their grief for comfort.
Wishing all of you many days of comfort and peace.
