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,
Sending warm thoughts and prayers …
I’m so sorry to hear about your mom Ann, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I lost my mom to Alzheimers 9 years ago, finding my new normal took awhile, take as much time as you need and we will be here for you when you return. God bless you and your family!

Dearest Ann,
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you begin this very difficult journey of life without your Mom. You will never get over it, but somehow you do learn to live with it, with the memory of her in all you do and say. I look at my hands, and see my Mom. I look in the mirror sometimes and see her in a moment of twinkling in my eye. Praying for your precious Dad, too.
From another daughter who is learning to walk without her Mom here,

Ann, So many kind words in all these posts! They must bring you comfort! Just a sign of how much you are loved and appreciated. I lost my mother 23 yrs ago and she also couldn’t speak but assuming she could hear I talked to her daily. Your mother was so beautiful. May God bring you much comfort!
Ann, I am so very sorry for the tremendous loss of your dear mother. My deepest condolences to you and your family…thoughts and prayers are with you. I am sure she heard the words of you and your father and she will continue to hear them.
Ann, my heart goes out to you and your family, especially your dad. May the comfort of memories, support, and friends be yours during this grieving time. You are in my prayers. Carol
So sorry for your loss. May God watch over you and your family and may His love bring you peace at such a difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
