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,
Ann, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. My mom is 95 and while in good health and spirits, I know this time is not far for me either.
She looked to be a beautiful lady, inside and out.
Prayers for you and your family.
I am so sorry for your lose and wishing you strength to pull things together.
I am so sorry for your loss. I to have lost my mother who was the center of our family. I can tell you there will be ups and downs, but each down comes with a forgotten memory and how much she loved you. God does get us thru and wraps his arms around us.
Ann, I’m so sorry. Please take time for yourself to grieve and rest.
So, so sorry for the loss of your Mother. For a daughter to lose her Mother is very hard. My condolences to you and your Father.
Dear Ann, May your precious memories help ease your pain in the loss of your beautiful mother. Please know so many are thinking of you and your family. Take whatever time you need, Jeannie
Dear Ann,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have never written you before but wanted to take a moment to express my sympathy. There is nothing like the love of a mother. I lost mine many years ago and wish I could have just one more day with her.
I wish you peace and know she is in a better place.

Ann I’m so sorry. Sending you hugs and prayers.
Ann ~ First I’m sending you love and light. I was so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing and I will pray for you, your dad and extended family. I can also assure you, with certainty that your mother heard every word you said. I’ve lost both parents and one daughter so I understand your grief, confusion, anger and emotional swings. KNOW that she is with God, it is the one’s who are left behind that we need to care for. Speak of her often, it keeps her close by your side. KNOW that she smiles down on you and will continue to be a very special part of your life for as long as you live. She lives through you. Take just one day at a time and if that becomes too much, take just half a day at a time. As time passes, we heal and come to terms with things. Sending you BIG hugs Ann, we’re all here for you.
Take all the time you need. My Dad was killed in an airplane accident last year. I completely understand. Focus on the happiness, blessings, thankfulness and all things positive. We love you!
