Lost my Mom tonight

a reply to: mtnshredder

Big BIG cyber hugs for you. I lost my mom a couple years ago. Like you, we knew it was coming, Mom's quality of life had diminished greatly, and was a blessing to that extent. But it's still tough. I wish I knew how to make it easier for you. But I don't think that's even possible. It's just something to get through and past.

So hold your dear ones close. Cherish the memories. Let yourself cry and hurt and grieve your loss. Give yourself big hugs. And keep reminding yourself how very blessed you are to have someone that you could love so very much that it hurts this much to lose them.

Brightest blessings to you and yours.

Just getting in from a tough night. I'm ok and at peace with it, we all knew it was coming sooner than later but you're never ready for it until it actually happens. She was 93 and her health took a major turn in just the last few days. She had no quality of life left so it was for the best. I'll miss her as I do my Dad. Lost Dad ten years ago so there is a certain feeling of finality (for lack of better words) with having both parents now gone.

Thank you ATS for being here and allowing me to express my loss.

For those with parents still alive, cherish and value the time you have with them, because once they're gone, we're only left with the memories.

Not much I can add after reading all the replies except
GOD REST HER SOUL

So sorry for your loss…
Her love will always be with you
Praying in the midst of your grief for stillness, peace, and calm in your heart…

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom almost 10 years ago. I think about her often, and will sometimes dream about her.
God Bless Mother's.

Sorry for your loss. She is in a better place now.

Sorry for your loss. Hang in there and cherish the memories.

My mother is in poor health and my heart stops every time I get a phone call.

Sad to hear that mtnshredder.

My mom, even in far away distances, knows when I'm not in good shape and calls me to ask how I'm doing.
I really wish you get some kind of a sign, a dream, a vision, or something, just to make sure she's in a good place. As one here put it "They're not gone".

My condolences.

My mother is in the hospital and isn't doing well. I've not yet lost a parent, but if you ever need to vent to a stranger...

I'm very sorry to hear that, positive thoughts sent your way and wishing her the best.

So true there's a poem about anniversaries of the heart. It's early and I can't quite remember it.
I am truly sorry for the pain that you are feeling. I have felt it also. You may never be the same but, I hope that in time you will be able to heal.
I'm still learning everyday how to live without Mom.

I'm sorry for your loss. May your Mom rest in comfort and peace.

I lost my Mom at 93 also, on Christmas Eve two years ago. Same thing, she was fine one day, and in hospice three days later. She passed less than 24 hours after that. I hope your Mom's passing was easier for her than my Mom's. It was pretty rough. I was glad to have been able to make it there before she passed though. Hopefully it brought her some comfort.

Again, sorry for your loss, but know your parents will live on in your memory and will always be by your side.

Sorry to hear. That sounds about exactly the way my Mom went also. She was sitting up and eating two days prior, assisted living called and suggested getting Hospice because of a major breathing change, we did and she was gone less than 12 hrs later.

Interesting coincidence that she was the same age as your Mom, mine was born on the same day that your Mother passed and under similar circumstances.

I'm not sure I want to even ask this question...was the assisted living community your Mom was in an Ericson community by chance?

a reply to: Flyingclaydisk

No. Haverland Center.

They're Not Gone Just in an higher dimension than we are. You might can't see them, but they can definitely see you. Energy doesn't die.

Sorry For your loss though.

It’s a hard time which is accompanied by strange thoughts and sad feelings.

I lost my old man just before Xmas and my mum 3.5 years ago.

66 and 70 respectively.

Although reasonably prepared for both the feelings can not be held back.

I hope you are ok.

I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences.
