THANKS FOR ALL THE PRAYERS

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for your prayers during my Mother's sickness and surgery.  She passed away Tuesday.  And it is very hard for me as an only child to let her go.  But I know she is no longer in any pain and is in a beautiful place with our Lord.  Thanks again for your kind support.

So sorry Linda for you loss! Losing a mom is the hardest thing I believe. I have lost both....mom when I was 21, dad when I was 41. Mother was the most significant loss and I believe there are so many stages in our lives when we need her there. I hope that she was there for many of the significant times in your life! I hope that will bring you comfort in the months and years that follow. I do know that you realize that she is no longer in pain and hurting any longer which can also bring you some ease. You get to a point where you want them to be pain free and no longer suffer even though we don't really want them to go. Sometimes we just have to know that they really don't have the quality of life they deserve and the only way is to accept the inevidible. It is so very hard. My heart hurts for you as I can relate to the pain and loss.  Take care and give yourself time to grieve. Lisa

I lost my Mom 10 years ago.  I was able to spend the last 10 weeks of her life caring for her like she cared for me.  I have comfort in the knowledge that she is in a better place, completely whole and waiting on the rest of us to join her one day.   There is not a day that goes by that I think of something that I wish I could tell her or share with her.  I know that somehow she is able to know what is going on with me.   I am fortunate to still have my Dad-he's 85.  Even though we live 250 miles a part we are still a big part of each other's life.  We talk on the phone twice a day.  It will get easier to stand the loss as each day goes by.  Hang on to the good memories.  Write them down so that they never fade. 

I am so sorry for your loss Linda.   I can't imagine your pain but you are right that she is a much better place. Take care, Pam
