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 am so sorry Ann. I am sure your mom is watching over you!
So sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. Losing a loved one is so difficult. My thoughts and prayers are with you. ????
Dear Ann,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of your loss–a mother is always missed. Take care of yourself and your dad.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Ann,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know it must be very hard for your family right now. God bless you and your family. I will be praying for your family. You have a beautiful blog and I so enjoy reading it and your beautiful printables. Take the time that you need. I know that your readers will understand. I pray for God’s peace and that His love will envelop you during this time.
I am sorry to read this. Death is never easy but a good death, surrounded with loved ones, is a blessing to all. Praying for your father and family, that peace and happy rememberences will abound.
What a beautiful woman your mother was. Thank you so much for sharing her photo. I am so sorry for the huge loss of your mother from your life. I was a hospice nurse for years and we were taught that hearing was the last sense to go and that we should talk to our loved ones as much as we can. I’m sure your mother heard your words. Everyone’s grief process is different. Allow yourself to go through the process and take whatever time it takes. A virtual hug through the airwaves to you.
My prayers and thoughts re with you.
Ann I was only 28 when my Mom died and it was the hardest thing ever. I am so sorry for your loss but I truly believe that one day we will all be together. I have to believe it or I wouldn’t be able to go on. You and your family will be in my prayers.
