Many hugs to you

My mom will be turning 84 in April and she's getting so frail and forgetful. It's going to be so hard to lose her.

My heart goes out to you and your family. It is so hard to lose any of our loved ones, and especially hard to lose a beloved mother.

I lost my mom five years ago, and I think of her every day, sometimes with tears, but mostly now with smiles. I find the holidays to be the hardest to get through, though. There are still certain Christmas carols that I can not listen to without crying.

What really caught me off guard after she passed away, was not knowing what little thing would cause me to think of her and make me so sad. I remember walking into a store and seeing a woman with a purse that looked just like one my mother had, and the tears came and I had to leave the store. Just seeing moms and daughters out shopping would be enough to cause a lump to form in my throat.

And, one of the hardest things was knowing I couldn't pick up my phone and call her whenever I wanted to. Okay, now I'm in tears!

4nana, I didn't mean to get off track here! I guess I just wanted to let you know that the loss of your mom will hit you at times you may not think it will. But also know that it does get easier with time, and eventually there will be less tears and more smiles and wonderful memories.

The photo you posted of your mom is beautiful! I know she was surrounded by a loving family! I am so sorry for the loss of your precious mother, and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Godspeed to your Mom. That picture tells it all - she was loved! Hold on to your memories

Dis friends, thank you so much for your replies of care and concern. I truly appreciate and you've all helped more than you realize.

I must admit, even at this age, I knew losing my Moma would be difficult, but is much more so than I anticipated. I've always had strong faith, but reality has set in. Altho I know she is resting in peace pain free, soaring with the angels in God's care, I'm still adjusting to winding down physically and emotionally of no daily 2hr trip visits past 6 mos helping with her care, the never ending business end aspect, certain songs, stores we shopped in and her fave restaurants, her voice mails and haven't even brought myself to visit her home.

Geez...I'm a big girl (not to mention) old...I really need to get myself busy back in the swing of our life ~ our aqua jazz your joints classes, senior center activites, fun family dinners, browsing the malls. DH and kiddies are so supportive...
Moma must be shaking her head....hey girl, it's 2014. I'm with you in spirit...now get with the program!!

I don't care how old you are, your mom is still your mom. I am so glad you have a great family for support.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

You already know this and like someone else said It doesn't matter how old we are when we lose a parent I get that too

Just coming by this today, Sandie, not here too often. You are always there for others here in their times of sadness, we are here with yours. Godspeed for your mom, for sure Audrey is with the angels today. And God bless you and your entire lovely family, prayers are with you all.

4nana - I am so very sorry for your loss. We buried my mom three weeks ago today. Although our mothers were ill and frail, it doesn't prepare us at all for when we lose them. Praying for you and hoping you are having more good days than sad days.

Peace be with you,


Jeanette

The picture says it all. She was truly loved. I keep a picture of my mom close by so that she feels near everyday. God bless you for your loving care of her.

I totally agree with everything expressed above. God's Grace to you for being such a wonderful daughter.
