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,
It is never easy to say goodbye to those we love and that is especially true when it comes to our Moms – the first love of our lives. Our Moms are always with us, however, in that which they have taught us and through their everlasting, unconditional love. May that love bring you peace and comfort in the days ahead.
My deepest condolences to you, your Father and family. I am sending prayers of comfort, support, patience and love. I have found that you will need them all to figure out your new normal. I have so enjoyed this blog and wish you the very best. -Marsha
