I'm sorry to hear about your mom, Barbara. Nothing prepares you for the loss of a parent. :( I wish so much that I could reach out and cry with you. It's all I can do to put one foot in front of the other each day. Or get out of bed in the morning. But the best thing about this is that you know where your mom is. You know she is at peace with our Heavenly Father. It hurts us, the ones left behind, but knowing we will see them again is so much more than some people have!

Please know that I am struggling as well. Last night I was in tears as my dad tried to calm me down. I miss my mom. Very much. The only person I talked to when I was this upset about something was my mom. And I can't do that. I can't call her. She won't ever call me again. I miss her. So much.

I pray for both of us, friend.
