Where is the service being held Mom

I've not known how to respond to your post concerning the passing of your mother...words are so inadequate and just don't convey how much i feel for you and your family at this time.

Life is precious and every moment that we have with our loved ones should be cherished, even those moments when they annoy the hell out of us, we love them still.

You are in my thoughts and my most sincere condolences to you and yours.

Vicki and my thoughts are with you at this difficult time.... Mothers are both tricky and wonderful and Mark Twain said, "My mother had a great deal of difficulty with me, but I think she enjoyed it" You are a fine person, I'll bet your mother was very proud of you.

God bless.

Weird shit, I have come on here to relax

Thank you, it is going to take a long time to acknowledge stuff, stuff like all the good wishes of these amazing folk I have never met. The scarey part is, if they are anything like the ones I have met then I may never make a smart arse post on here again, I will be too busy.

I lost my Mommy. I identified the feeling that I have inside me at the moment though. I hope it will begin to overide the hollow core that I have in my middle right now, I am proud of myself. Proud of the way I was there. Just that. I was there. I was there for Mom.

Note to self...when not frequenting KB much I must always read further ahead before passing on messages....

Thinking of you

Totally Mom...you know I am there for Nats come what may so I can have empathy with you....

Oh Mom,

Just reading your post brought tears to my eyes.

Hugs to you.

My grandmother suffered from Alzheimers and my biggest fear is that my mother may also succumb to it... thankfully she is 75 and still going strong but then so was Gma. She didn't get it til late in life and lived to 92...

I hope I have the strength to be there for my mother like she was for hers.

A friend of Moms used the expression "Lying in State" when she saw Mom at the church.

And that is exactly what she was doing.

Her instructions were clear - ish.

We must have been confused and not listening clearly when she said "I dont want speachifying" because she had to listen to some lovey words spoken by her friends and family. What a wonderful and lovely way to farewell your Mommy. She is at peace and looked it too.

I am not competely sure how I will manage Mom,o'clock from now on to be fair, but I would not wish her back for anything.

Goodbye Mom, I loved you so much. Being with you, and being able to do what needed to be done, as you went to be reunited with all your loved ones that have gone before, is something I will treasure to the end of my days.

Sorry, guys I hadn't kept up with this thread. Condolences to you. Having been through it with my Dad, Jill's Dad and Stepmum and now worrying about her birth Mum who is having some problems since turning 80 recently, I know it's not easy. Thoughts are with you both.

I'm just catching up with this too. A sad loss, effectively ending some stressful times - I can understand the turmoil of emotions.

When I lost my Dad after a long illness back in 2001, the most surprising emotion that broke through was relief - a gladness that it was finally over. That was followed soon after by guilt - for feeling relieved. It's not easy, but it doesn't matter.

Just go with the flow - laugh, cry, remember, forgive. Move forward, with no regrets.
