My mom is gone.....

My mom passed away this past Saturday. It was a shock, because despite having terminal cancer we thought we still had some time left with her. We believe she had a stroke caused by a blood clot following a procedure she had done a week ago.

I have sat suspended in disbelief and the grief is overwhelming. I am at a loss of what to fill my time with now. She had been a huge part of my everyday life and her care had consumed every free moment I had.

I do not know how I will get through the viewing and her funeral on Friday, I pray for strength and courage. I want to face this as graciously as my mom did knowing she was terminally ill. The loss of a parent changes you in a way that is hard to explain.

I miss her, my heart is broken and I just pray that her family welcomed her into heaven.

I am so sorry for your loss. We are never ready to give them up. I have lost both my parents and I understand your grief. Feel free to PM me if you want. I pray that your memories will be sweet and in time they will comfort you. I pray that God will wrap his arms around you and give you peace. Your mother was a blessed woman to have a daughter who loved her so much. Hugs.

I'm sorry for your loss :hug:

My deepest condolences to you and your family for this painful loss...

I am so sorry for your loss (((HUGS))) Loosing a parent just plain sucks! I lost my father 2 years ago to cancer

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I lost my dad two years ago to cancer. It was a lot more sudden than we expected too, so I know how hard that is. I can tell you that in time it does get easier to focus on the positive times you had. I'm definitely thinking of you, I know how you are feeling.

I am so very sorry. I have lost both of my parents, my mother to cancer in 1993, right before my wedding. It is SO hard in the beginning, and it hurts so much.
I pray for your heart to heal, and may memories of the wonderful times you've had, make it easier for you with time.

I am so, so sorry for your loss. I am currently helping my sister through this very thing. The pain does ease eventually, even though it doesn't seem like it will ever go away.

She is in God's arms now and free from pain and suffering. She will watch over you now.
I will keep you in my prayers during this difficult time.

I miss her so much, my heart just aches constantly. Thank you all for your kindness.

I cannot imagine the grief you are going through , so so so so sorry for yous loss. (big hugs)

I am so sorry for your loss.

May your mom rest in peace.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. I lost my Mom in June. She had cancer, and we also thought we had a lot more time with her; her death was sudden and unexpected as well. I still replay that phone call in my head, even now. The shock is very hard to come to terms with.

"The loss of a parent changes you in a way that is hard to explain."--You are so right...but you can get though it. I've been through it twice. It's so hard to imagine that I no longer have parents.

I'm sure your mom is in Heaven. I hope she, like my Mom, sends you a sign soon. I found so much comfort in mine (the hummingbird story I posted here).

This is going to sound weird, but please let me explain: my Mom's death showed me both great sorrow AND great joy in life. The sorrow part is obvious; but, in my grieving, I found beauty and love, and a renewed purpose in life. I found out just how many people (including the members of TCS) cared about me. I was shown extraordinary kindness from strangers and friends alike. I have honored Mom in little ways I think she'd love, and found so much comfort in that, as well. I also tapped into creativity I never knew I had. I'm now living my life in a more purposeful way. I have decided to not waste time on things that used to bother me, nor useless actions. I've decided to live a healthier life.

Please take care of yourself, and talk to people about your Mom, and how you feel. People will listen, and offer comfort. One of the best things I did after Mom died was to talk to my neighbor, who her husband to the same type of cancer a year before. I found she's doing grief counseling. That 1 hour chat really helped. I had spent over a week keeping to myself and not really wanting to "bother" anyone. I then realized I neeed someone to talk to.

I am so very sorry to hear this. You have my deepest condolences.

I am so sorry you lost your precious mom. Please reach out to those who can help you and know that I am thinking of you. I'm sending you strength and peace to get through the funeral tomorrow.

Hugs,

Cally

I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I had some words of wisdom to help heal your pain. Prayers and condolences to you and yours.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I still feel the pain of losing my mother, and it's been many years. Just try to dwell on the good memories and happy times. After my mother's passing many times I saw her in my dreams and I'd wake up feeling a lot better. I guess it was her way of trying to tell me she was ok and with my father. They say time eases the pain - maybe so - but you never forget. Again, my thoughts are with you.

I am so so sorry to hear this. My prayers are with you and your family!
