@Jordan2 - sending my deepest sympathies to you. It's so hard to lose your mom. 

I am glad she passed away peacefully and, I'm not trying to sound heartless, but that didn't linger and have more pain and discomfort. No one wants that for their loved ones. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

The recent loss of a family member was described as "eternal rest". Those words really soothed me.

 

I think your mother is in eternal rest too.

It is so very hard to see your loved ones ill and to think of them as someday not being there. I lost my brother in 1987 to an accident. He was 25 and then in 1989 my grandparents. Then in 1996 I lost my mother. She was ony 56. I took care of her and I was ony 39. I lost many other relatives aunts and uncles later and then in 2016 i lost my last relative which was my sister to Cancer. I am a cancer survivor but my little sister is not. I also took care of my sister while ill. i understand how you feel, but my point is for every horrible thing a person goes through there is always something worse you could be going through. I am 63 and since 60 years old I have been alone. Be thankful for what you do have. Whatever those things are. Be very thankful for your sister. Know that people are praying for you and your family

Your mom found her way to peace, she let go knowing it was time for her to do so. She felt secure in taking this path to rest and did within her own comfort zone and time.

The hurt within your heart will stay but the love will always grow and there will be that time when you can smile again and be thankful for all she inspired in you and one was strength, the strength to go on and do what you need to do in your life. She will be the Angel by your side.

It is not easy saying goodbye.

It is difficult for you and your family. It is something we must all learn to accept and comprehend.

Condolences to you and your family.

Blessings to all.

My mother passed away early this morning. My sister called me at 3:00 am, the nursing home notified her. We went over to the nursing home to say our goodbyes. We were told she went peacefully and wasn’t alone. I am extremely sad of course, I take comfort in knowing she is no longer in pain and suffering, she is with my dad and brother. Thanks to all who offered advice and prayers, I appreciate them more than you know.


@Jordan2 You and your family have been on my mind all week.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  How lucky your mom was to have such loving children.  And how lucky you all were to have such a loving mom.  I wish you peace and comfort during your time of grief.  I hope your happy memories of your mom will ease some of your pain and that you'll lean on your friends, both in real life and online, for comfort.  Sending you big hugs.
