My Mom
Wow Mary.....I can't imagine anything harder than to find a loved one that has died.......I know you will be going through lots of emotions int he next few days...but the hard times will come later when you can't call her and talk with her and you think of her being alone....but that was the choice I am sure she made. It sounds like she didn't struggle...so that hold the love she had for you and yours in your hearts....and just know that we will still be here for you later when you need us. Love, Marti

Baseball Mom- I am new to this forum, but you and your family have my prayers. Like you said she was watching TV, maybe her favorite show, when she passed. Know that God was with her. She was not alone. I like to think all our moms are at the big table having coffee or tea and talking about all the crazy stuff WE do and how they'll have to tell us about it when we get there!! I know my mom is! It is so hard to lose a parent no matter their age or our age. Remember the good times, cry and laugh over the coming days and as all who know you have said, please take care of yourself.

Mary,
I sent you a PM. . . I am praying for you and your family at this time. . .
My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Mary, I am fairly new to the board also I have posted a few times, but when I read the post about your mom I almost cried. I lost my mom two years ago she was 94. I cried and did not know what I would do without her. It gets better after awhile, I still miss mom but I know she is in a far better place then we are, no more pain, no worries she has made it to her mansion. Sharon D
Mary,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother. Its so difficult to lose someone we love. Only time will ease the hurt and loss.Take all those precious memories you have of her and tuck them in your heart and remember them always. They will help to get you thru the tough times thru-out your life.
Hugs
Sharon
Mary,
I wish there were words to express how sorry I am for the loss of your mother. My mother is the same age as yours and I know how I would feel if I found her as you did your mom. It was really difficult losing my dad, even though he was terminal from pancreatic cancer. We had only known it six weeks. But at least we did have that time. I will keep you and yours in my prayers.
