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,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my own mom last year and, though I’m sad sometimes, I focus on the happy memories and things she taught my children and me. I’ll be praying for comfort and encouragement for your dad and all of you!
Prayers to you. May your memories sustain you until you are together again.
Ann, So very sorry to hear about your loss, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Ann, I am so very sorry. Losing a parent leaves such a void in our lives. Try to focus on the good memories you have and know that she will be watching over you and your Dad. I will hold both of you in my prayers.
Please be assured that yes, she did hear you! Hospice and other sources advised us that hearing is the last to go and it’s important to continue to talk to a patient, play music, etc. The path of grief is different for each person so be gentle with yourself. Don’t force anything or worry about what others may think.
May God and His angels surround you and your family with strength, peace and love.

I lost my Mom last April. You are right, you will be fine, but there will be a void. I miss my mother so much! Take care of your Dad. Peace to you and your family!
So sorry, I lost my mom in November 2013. We had 97 wonderful years. The memories will keep you going.
Dear Ann…I am so sorry to learn of your mother’s passing. She was very blessed to have such a loving daughter. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during these next few days…and later as you find peace from the wonderful memories of her.
So very sorry- My mother passed away in July last year and I wasn’t living in the same state- I miss her every day and talk to her often- it brings me comfort! Prayers coming your way for peace and comfort-
Ann, I’m so sorry for your loss. I know your mom was very special to you just by reading the things you’ve written about her. Will be thinking of you and your family.
