My mum has passed away.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mother was beautiful and sounds like an amazing woman!

I wish there were better words.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, Cindy. Don't forget to take care of your own needs during this time. Be well.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

Cin,

I know I've never really spoke to you much on here but I read a lot of your posts and read of your mothers desire for the kitten a little while back. I lost my mother in '97 suddenly a 44 and know how you feel, well sort of anyways. Take care of yourself and I just wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts. One thing I did after my mom passed was I made a little scrapbook type thing with photos in it and just remembered times when each picture was taken. It really helped!

Condolences to you and your family at this difficult time! The obituary was so well done; I feel like I knew your Mom! What a special woman she was, and the loving tributes from friends and family just reinforce that!

I'm sorry she was gone so quickly-it hardly gives you time to adjust! She is whole again in heaven, and will be waiting for the reunion someday.


Hugs to you, Cindy!

I'm so very sorry to hear about your Moms passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

Cin,

Thinking of you and your family with all my love

i am sorry for your loss.

I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Cin I'm so sorry Please take comfort from your friends here, and know that your mum is in a better place, no longer in pain.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you hun.

As always, you guys make the pain a little less when I read your thoughts.
Thanks so much.
Though I just want to say that I didn't actually "create" the page for her. I just co-wrote the obituary (I don't want to take the cred for something I didn't do)..
But isn't it super? The funeral home does that for you and then anyone from far away can leave a tribute to her or you can read others who have written...though I did just that yesterday at work which wasn't a good idea.

I haven't yet added my own as I find it too hard still and can't get through anything when writing...

The service was beautiful as well. My brother sang and played guitar (I think it was a Coldplay song..Just beautiful.."You kicked a hole in the sky"?...)
My sister did the eulogy and later at the tribute after the service, I had my good friend sing a blues song from the 1930's because as I said, I found I couldn't get through the words without breaking down (she sounds like Billie Holiday..it was beautiful)

As for the scrapbook idea, that is a wonderful idea and my sister has already started to pick some things up to make one.

I find grieving a very personal thing. I have never done it before like this and find I can be acting manic and high one moment and then terribly low and unable to move.

I feel for all of you who have experienced this.
My heart goes out to you.
I find that TCS is still my little safe haven to just be "normal" (whatever that is) and so my thanks once again.

Cindy, my heart goes out to you.

That was a lovely tribute to your mother. She must have been a very special lady.

Very beautiful, Amy and very true. I find myself too much of the time NOT wanting to feel the pain. I know I should but feel that if I open up those gates, I will never be able to close them. Its scary.
Tuxedo: Thanks...She was.
