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,
Oh, Ann, I’m so sorry to hear this sad news. I’ll be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.

Ann…sending you condolences and praying for you and your entire family. Thank you for sharing the beautiful picture of her – I personally believe that our loved ones hear us if we are with them at the end through the will of God. May you feel God’s peace in the days ahead.
You have my sympathy, since I know how it feels to lose a mother. My prayers are with you, and remembering the times you had with her will help. I pray that God will give you comfort in his own way and bring you peace.
Dear Ann
I am so sorry for your loss of your mom. You do not know me, but I read your blog and enjoy it. The sorrow never goes away when we lose our mom, but we are who we are because of them . Take comfort in knowing that she knew you were there for her and her love will be with you forever.
