This is perhaps the hardest post I’ve ever written…but I want to tell you all what’s happened. My mom peacefully passed away on Saturday morning. My dad and I had been taking care of her and the last few days of her life were quiet and pain free. She couldn’t talk to us but we talked to her. I am telling myself that she heard us, even though I really can’t be sure.

My emotions are up and down. I have moments of happiness when I remember something good, and moments of intense sadness when I think of my life without her. I will be OK though…I know that. I’m not so sure about my dad but I am thinking positive. My prayer is that he will be able to find a way to live the rest of his life not in sadness, but in thankfulness for all he had with my mom.
Her funeral is in two days, on Thursday. I will be gone for a while but I will be back. I want to make a fresh start and come up with new ideas. It’s been a struggle to get my creative juices flowing but I hope that changes. Again, I am thinking positive. I will need to figure out a new normal and you all will be a big part of that.
With a grateful heart, I thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers.
Wishing you all peace and grace,
May our gracious loving God wrap you and your family in his loving arms. With deepest sympathies and prayers for peace.
Ann,
You have my deepest sympathy. Your mom was such a beauty! From my own experiences, I hope you are able to continue thinking positive, and realize that your mom is a significant inspiration in your creativity … both very helpful to me. Please know you and your family are in my prayers. God Bless!
I am so sorry for your loss, Ann. I’m 72, and I lost my parents long ago. I miss them still, but I have the good memories. God bless.
So sorry for your loss.I have lost both my parents so I can empathize with your feelings.Hold tight to the good memories. God Bless.
Beautiful post. I am sorry for your loss.
With sympathy, Ruth
I’m so sorry for your loss. My mother died 12 years ago and I still think of her often. My sympathies to your father.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I bet she heard you talking to her and I am sure she knew you were there comforting her.

Sorry to her of your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.
Ann, I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my precious mama 19 years ago, and I have to say that the pain of the loss does get easier with time, but the “missing her” never does. At least that’s how it is for me. There’s no one that loves us like our mama’s. They are the first to love us totally and completely. I will keep you and your family, especially your Dad, in my prayers.
So very sorry for your loss. God will give you and your family strength & peace. I know this because I have experienced it! HE is amazing.! So thankful for the hope & promise of eternity with HIM & our loved ones! The power of positive thinking is incredible- only let good thoughts in your mind. One day at a time- ????????
