MsBlues Here - My mom is gone

Dear Heart,

My deepest sympathies on your loss. I never had a relationship with my biological mother and am at a loss to understand how you feel at this time. I can however appreciate your feelings and you definitely have my prayers and well wishes. The fact that you were able to not dwell on old patterns of turning to food for comfort is simply amazing and life affirming. Whatever your coping mechanisms are today, your faith, your friends, your family, you are to be commended for making your way through this difficult journey in a healthful way.

All the best,

Linda

I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear dear Richelle,

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Yes I've experienced the loss of both my parents but I won't tell you I know how you feel because everyone deals with the loss of parents differently.  Just know that you are in my thoughts and I will hope for you to find some peace and tranquility as you go through the next few weeks and learn to cope with the loss of your mom.

I'm really sorry. I know your mom has been sick for a while...my prayers are you and your family. 

My Dear Friend Richelle,

I am so saddened to hear of your mom's passing. She was such a strong woman. You made her last years very comfortable for her. You did your best. You made her proud, during her final months from planning the Hawaii trip to just being there beside her as she went through her uncertainty.

Allow yourself now the time to take this in, I know it is hard. I can emphathize, as I lost my dad to cancer 11 years ago. I will be keeping you and your whole family in my thoughts and prayers. I am sending huge comforting hugs your way.

Friendship, love, & hugs,

Hi all,

Wow! I am so overwhelmed at the outpouring of support and kind words her on OH and from my family. I appreciate all your messages and wise words. Tomorrow it will be a week since my mom has passed away.  I don't feel like I want to get back to real life yet, but I know I must. I think I need to be a bit gentle with myself, allow myself not to be the usual perfectionist at work, and take good care of myself physically too.  If that means I go to less meetings, attend less community events or my house is a bit cluttered, than so be it.

Thanks again.

As I have not been on the boards for 10 days I am just learning of your mothers passing.  I am deeply sorry for your loss.  Although I have not lost my parents I can imagine the pain and hurt you are experiencing.

You have wonderful memories of your mother and your recent trip to Hawaii with her to keep in your heart forever.  I know in my heart your mother was very proud of you and appreciative of all that you did for her before and during her illness.  She will continue to bless you from heaven always.

Know that you can always count on us here on the boards to hear you when needed and help guide and support you.

Much peace and blessings to you and your family.

Dear Richelle,
My prayers go out to you. Please be gentle with yourself at this time of tremendous grief. I can empathize with your loss. I lost my Mom to breast cancer last September 2009. I am so glad you are feeling the love and support of family and friends.
Allow yourself to heal and grieve as slowly as you need to. I will say prayers for you and your family.
Best wishes, Amy

My heart and love and condolences go out to you MsBlues. 
Hugs.

Richelle,

so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing.  You should feel happy that you were there for her these past few months and could make memories together.  You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
