my mom

We lost my beloved mom last Wed. night.  I did make it to her bedside in time....7 1/2 hr.s before she passed away, and along with my family members....we supported her journey....kissed her, told her how loved she was/is,...leaned on each other, cried and prayed together.  As terrible as it was,...and also so sudden...it was one of the most moving and LOVING experiences of my life.  However...I /we already miss her so much.  I've already started to go to call her twice since we've been back home this afternoon.  Still not fathoming life without my mom....

    If I die surrounded by my children, and their children, and others whom I hold dear..I will count it a very good life.

    It sounds like your mother was blessed in ways that cannot be measured or bought.

    I am so happy that you got to be with your mom when she died. As you explained, it is a very profound and loving experience. I hope that each day 'the hole in your heart' becomes a bit smaller. May the good memories of your mom lift you up through your sadness.

    A mother's love is eternal. Close your eyes and know she is with you always. I pray you find comfort in knowing you were there for her in her final hours. ((hugs))

    OH LORI, I am so sorry! Its so painful to lose a parent. Like others said, the way she left from this life, surrounded by her loved ones, knowing how special and loved she was. I like what Lou said about it.

    I'm sending you my love and a hug and if you feel like talking you know were to find me.

    Lori,

    I am so sorry to here about your mom.

    I lost my dad many many years ago but I come to realize I didn't really lose him. I found out my dad just moved to a different place. He now lives in me. I find myself thinking, what would dad do, I hear myself saying the words my dad said to me so many times, I see the skill of my dad in my work. I now know I didn't lose him, just just came to live within me.

    I have a feeling you will find your mother has done the same thing. She will be with you when you are ready to welcome her home.
