5955My heart goes out for you. It is hard to lose your mom. Mine died when I was 20, and that was 40+years ago, There are still times when I have such an unquenchable longing to have one more conversation with her.
10494I am so very sorry for your loss. This is too close to home for me as my own Mum's Birthday approaches and I cannot shake off my sorrow.
Time heals the pain, but never diminishes the longing to see them one more time.
Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy. Meganne
12286416529It is always so heart breaking to lose a loved one. Please read the poem below and think of your mother as you do. I wrote this last year for my mother-in-law and this helps me smile at the difficult times.
Angel Wings
She felt her days were numbered
And she counted them one by one
She wanted no more suffering
And asked his will be done
As she lay upon the covers
And there she closed her eyes
She prayed for his saving grace
And to have her children by her side
She never once felt alone
Knowing it was her time
As Jesus cradled her sweet head
She passed on through the night
All her loved ones gathered
To say their last goodbyes
They comforted each other
And sorrowful tears they cried
The Minister stood to take his place
And cleared his throat to speak
He saw it was such a tearful day
And the family felt it bleak
But he told the family gently
That death was a natural thing
And if you listened closely
You could hear her sweet voice sing
For she was in Gods Garden
Wearing her Angel wings

So sorry to read that your Mum has died. Time will heal the pain and sorrow, but memories will last forever. Love and blessings Chris
Canon Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918)
Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other
That we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes
We enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me,
Let my name be ever the household word that
It always was.
Let it be spoken without effort,
Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am
Out of sight? I am but waiting for you
For an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner .
All is well.

253107My heart goes out to you. I know what you are going through. My Mom passed away 11-11-11. I miss her so much. Just remember to try to take it one day at a time. That's what I'm doing and when that doesn't work, and I'm having a bad day, then I take it moment by moment. The precious memories you have of your Mother will be with you always. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Linda

72397So sorry for your loss, and I know it is quite difficult for you right now! But, think upon the wonderful memories you have of her, and how much she
wants you to be happy and smile, inspite of the sadness of the moment. The greatest loss I have ever had was losing my mother. It has been many years ago, but during my down moments, I feel her near in spirit and still encouraging me to forge ahead.
May the Lord grant you a special peace and acceptance of His will in her passing.
Hugs,
Angel

95274My deepest sympathies,
I lost my mom in august of 2011 and it was also sudden so I can relate.
This is a difficult time and a time to remember all that she gave you, a time to share your memories and your pain and a time to take a look at all those around you and tell them how fortunate you are to have them in your
life,
Praying and thinking of you in this difficult time
Hugs and a warm embrace,
Michelle
64451114322I am so sorry, my parents are 86 and 94 and I know their time is getting close, hope I could be with them My husband loss left me in very bad shape, 8 months ago I was very happy person now all I do is cry, I do not think I could bear another death in the family, not right now, It is so hard to see someone we love go, your mom s in heaven and like shirlene poem, trust in God, i will have to read this poem often, it is very beautiful.
26714I am so sorry for your loss and I am sure she knows how much you loved her and she hears and sees you and doesn't want you to suffer. Keep all the good memories and if there are any that aren't so good, toss them out and don't think of them. I still have my parents so I can't possibly know just how you feel but I have lost some family members that I wish I could spend just one more day with. I wish I could have known my hubby's Mom and I often wonder if she would have liked me but I feel she would have. Go through your grief the way you need to, everyone grieves differently so don't let anyone tell you when it is time to move on, only you will know when that is. Hugs and love from another cutie.
Debra
33579I am so very sorry for your loss my dear - I do understand.
She is Gone by David Harkins
You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her or you can be full of the love that you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow because of yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she is gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what she would want, smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
And this is one saying that I have memorized:
Death leaves a heartache only God can heal
Love leaves a memory no one can steal
My dear, please trust in the Lord to guide you through this time - I will be praying for you and your family.
