It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new.
But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful.
There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.

My Mom

My Mom died quietly and peacefully without waking up.
Of all the things and people in the world , my mother was always there for me.. Along with my husband.
She had me when she was very young, losing my father in an accident shortly before my birth. So we two went out into the world together.
She found happiness and heartache but she always had the love of her children and granddaughter.
My husband cared for her too.
There is no describing the feeling of loss.
God bless her .

  5. My heart goes out to you. I lost my mom in November (and my dad three weeks earlier). Still can't accept it. I try to remember that they went they way they wanted: very peacefully, after a long, healthy, happy life. It's what we all wish, but we don't really want that moment to come. Even though, especially as loved ones get old, we know it's coming.
    Let yourself revel in your love for her. My words can't make you feel better. I hope time will.

    I am so sorry you didn't get to spend time with her after your move, and that your new life in Florida has got off to such a bad start.

  17. I am so very sorry for your loss. She must have had such strength to cope with the tragic death of her husband and carry on alone with a small child to care for. Truly admirable. Very sad news. Elle

  21. I am so sorry for your loss. After my mom died I became the matriarch in our family, will that happen to you? It was hard at first, missing mom but being expected to carry on some traditions.

  29. I have been away, but was saddened for you to read that you had lost your dear mother. I am pleased that you were with her, but what a distressing thing it was that she lost your father whilst she was pregnant with you. I suspect that you brought her lots of love and helped her through what must have been a difficult period. I am not surprised that you were both very close to each other. May your memories help you at this difficult time.

  34. It is Friday, May 6 and I know this will be a painful mother's day for you having just lost your mom. I remember the first year after my mom died and I felt lost and lonely. I have no children so I was at a loss for what to do. One of my dearest friends just lost her mom as well and she is feeling the same sadness that I am sure you are feeling. I just wanted to let you know that you have my deepest sympathy, however, enjoy your children and grandchildren, I hope they ease some of your pain.
