Thank you Martha , It's only been a few days now and today is a tough day for me as it is for everyone and I wish you all peace today. I try to see the light in her passing ... she is no longer feeling pain and I take comfort in that and for the memories  I have of her on this earth and for the time shared when we could.  I shed many tears but knowing she is my angel now along with many other members of her/my family brings me some comfort. 

love to all <3

This is a club no one wants to be in. This is my first holiday without my mom and stepdad, they passed 10 weeks apart. My stepdad had pancreatic cancer and my mom (only 55) passed suddenly a few weeks ago. Thinking of you all and sending positive thoughts. Not sure how to get through all this in my 20s having to bury 2 parents. Thankful for new friends in this support group!

Niecy, what a beautiful post. I know as well that our mothers are in a much better place surrounded by love with God and all family members and friends that have departed this earthly plane. 

I wish everyone the Peace of God this day, and always.

My heart goes out to everyone who has lost their loved ones and Thank you for this community of which was created to help heal . 

I am mourning many losses but my most recent is that of my mother...When I think of her departure from this earth I am
Sad but grateful,
My mother passed away Saturday November 23rd 2013 ,She was 70 years old and was a feisty pistol till the end . She had several ailments that could have caused her demise including an aneurism on the aorta ,also she had internal bleeding , a mild heart attack and some other prior problems ,The Doctors told us they could not operate as she would not survive the surgery , That's when we then made the decision to do comfort care/Hospice. She survived for two days in the ICU but was then able to be transferred back to the nursing home where she was living , She had stated before she had gone under medication that she wanted to go back home , I'm happy she fought long enough to make it back there. With my sister,our family , her friends , the staff and the hospice team, to surround her with love and prayers. I give thanks on this day that my mother went peacefully into Gods loving arms and will no longer feel the emotional or physical pains , I pray that everyone who has lost a loved one feel inner peace today in knowing that even though death for the body/ vessel is permanent the dying process is temporary and however they may have passed just know your loved one is also at peace and is no longer feeling any pain .

Hi Jill, I completely agree and can relate to the pain you are feeling. A pain unlike any other. I was very close to my beloved mother. I was her constant companion and caregiver for 14 years. Most importantly she was the greatest love of my life. As far as I'm concerned all roads led to her. This pain is searing, unbearable . I liken it to having open heart surgery without anaesthesia. Very difficult to bear. We are all here for you , united in our grief. Please take care.

My greetings to all of you on this site and condolences to those who have just recently gone through the pain and agony of losing their mothers.  This is my first post since my initial one back in August 2013. I lost my mom at 90 back on October 14, 2012 and, as many of this site have said, things will never be the same again. I knew the one year anniversary of my mom’s passing (October 14), which just recently came up, would hit me hard, but even I did not realize the impact and bonecrushing grief that has come along with it. I think much of the grief and emptiness comes from the fact that, you now know beyond any reasonable doubt that your mother will never be coming back and it is almost unbearable at times to think of the rest of your life without her and the continual struggle you will have to keep her memory close to you as the years go by. While I have not been naïve since my mother’s passing, I think I almost had the subconscious thought that this whole thing was temporary and that, in a year’s time, she would surely be back and everything would be fine, just like it always was! Of course, it does not work this way!! I also had, until the one year anniversary of her passing, a strange type of solace as I was always able to go back one year on the calendar and say that my mom was always alive on that particular day. Many times, I would escape back into time to that day one year ago and remember how I lived it with her. Now that has been lost. We are just left with trying to carry on with life the best we can, doing everything possible to keep the memory of our mothers alive and trying to live life in the same way both of our parents did, touching people positively and trying to leave the world a better place than it was when we arrived. You will all be in my thoughts as we try to get through this latest holiday season together! It has been very helpful during these hard times for me to read all of your postings.

Thank you Dia-Ayesha. My condolences to you also. I still feel the shock and disbelief. I know that I have lost family in the past but I never have felt like I do now. The pain is so unbearable. Like I said its so nice to know that I am not alone:)
