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,
Ann, my deepest sympathy for you and your Dad. Hold on to all your memories of the good times you had together.
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your dad. I lost my dad first, then my mom. Not easy, but we all find comfort in our Faith. I’m sure she was a lovely woman, and I know how very proud you are to be her daughter. Your on-line friends are all here for you!
So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Oh Ann!! My heart goes out to you! I pray that God’s peace will cover you and your dad in the days and weeks to come.
Dearest Anne, I send you prayers and affection. You have supported all of us in so many ways and it is with sadness and relief that I read this morning’s news from you. Thank you for sharing your parents with us. Do not feel a need to rush back. We, your friends, will all be right here. With others I also send prayers for your dear dad.
You are blessed to have had the time with your Mom. I’m sure she heard each and every word and will be watching over you, your Dad and your family. No more pain – only happiness. Of course there’ll be rough days, but knowing that she lives on is our blessing. You will find your new normal and I pray that your Dad does too. With Sincerest sympathy and God’s comfort. Amy
