I lost my Mom...

Nancy, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. It sounds like she had a wonderful spirit and good humor. My mom is 93 and does not live close to me....but I treasure every day I know she is there.

Take care of yourself during this difficult time.

Nancy,

I am so sorry for this great loss. She no longer suffers and most certainly is happy with your Dad.

Hugs

Hugs Nancy B and I mean I'm hugging you tight!
Loved, loved, loved your thought of Mom taking off her coat and walking into the light and being together once again with your Dad. How beautiful!

You will always miss your mom. Mom's are special that's why God gave us Mom's. You know your a mom! Pass on a hug to that wonderful Derek, he did well sitting next to grandma, holding her hand and smiling big for her. Now that is something very special indeed. Sending Grandma off with a grandson's smile! God Bless Debbie

Nancy,

My heart aches for you. Think and share about happy times together.
I have dinner with my mom every Tuesday night (tonight) and will give her a big hug in your mom's honor. She's 85 and I dread the day when I receive the same news.
My deepest condolences during this sad time.

Nancy,

With great sadness I read your post and you seem to be taking it in your stride, please don't feel badly about not being there when she went home to be with your Dad, you have always treated her with love and care and her having her "favorite grandchild" at her side hopefully brings you much comfort, as I am sure it did her.

Much love and prayers coming to you and your family at this sad time.

(((Nancy))) I am so sorry about your mom's passing!!! BUT...she is happy with being with her husband again and no longer suffering!! I am sitting here with tears rolling down my face and KNOWING how you feel about your mom!!!

HUGS

Nancy,

No matter how old we are, how many children/grandchildren we have, how responsible a job, there is something in the loss of our mother that permanently changes us and hurtles us into a state of mind in adulthood that no other loss can.  It sounds as though your mom was at peace at the end and had loved ones with her, and now she is free of earthly cares and with your dad again. 

I hope the many happy memories of your mom and dad support you through these first difficult weeks; and may their memory be a blessing to your and your family and all who loved and knew them both.

With you in spirit,

Nancy - I am soooo very sorry for your loss.  Moms are very special.  God has a plan, and the plan was that you were not to be there when your Mom passed.  He had the same plan for me when my Dad passed away. 

I hope and pray the pain you are now feeling will soon be replaced with many happy memories. 

Take care of yourself.

Dear Nancy.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I understand how hard it is to be away when you hear that the loved one passed on after you left. I hope that your ride back home was not terrible. You were wonderful to your mother. I know that the loss can feel scary, but you will be ok with time.

Nancy I am so sorry. You should think about how close you two were. We can only hope & pray that our kids will be as good to us as you were to your mom.
