And then there was one...
|
And then there was one... Mom passed away last Saturday afternoon. Dad and us were all there, and she seemed to go peacefully on her way. This past week has been somewhat of a blur of relatives and friends visiting, along with preparing for and having her funeral. I'm still very sad and will miss Mom forever, but oddly enough there is a sense of relief too, as this chapter of life is over and now we start a new one. I had the honour of doing the eulogy. In some ways it was the easiest speech I've ever given. Mom had so many gifts and left us with so many memories. The most difficult part of course was keeping my own composure while looking out at all the tearful faces in the people who came to say their good byes and support the family. I know Mom is no longer suffering, and she was at peace with her fate. Our only wish and hers was that she could have stayed with us longer in this world. Thank you very much for your thoughts and prayers over the past while. I know they helped us and Mom to find our way through this time of change and transition. Getting back into regular life is going to be a bit of a challenge but we'll get there. Have a good one friends, and thanks again...  lustytaurus.LUSTYTAURUS FYI...I learned from Mom that it is necessary to get up and get going in the morning...but liking it is optional! |

Honey I feel your pain and your relief too..sorry for your loss..You were so brave to do the eulogy and I can imagine you did a fantastic job..in a way your mom has not left you, she will always be a part of you and who you are, beside you, just not in the physical sense..hope to see you soon as I could use a cold beer and some lusty talk..

LT, my Dad left the world over a year ago, and I still talk to him from time to time. I've said this to others, and believe it myself: As long as you (or any of the people who knew your Mom) are alive, and remember her, then she isn't yet gone. Her influence lasts in all who knew her. Regards, and all my best, Alex

Your mother had to be a wonderful person...she raised a wonderful son like you...you mom is free now...and all who loved her are left to deal with her loss...but like you said...one day at a time...my aunt who helped raise me died at the end of last year...most of my family surrounding her bed and right before she died...she said "I love you all" and than she was gone...I still miss her and think about her...but I am also grateful I had such a wonderful woman in my life for so many years...but I understand your loss...it is always difficult to lose someone who loved us...

Taurus, Sometimes, death is better. There comes a time when the suffering is too great and the thin line between living and dying becomes transparent. Your mother decided to step over and there's nothing wrong with that. You'll always have your mother's essence inside of you. You know what she would think of you, what she would expect you to do, what she would want for you.

. I had the same experience with my family at my Mom's deathwatch. She was at peace, tired of the fight, and looking forward to meeting Jesus. After several intervening years, I still miss her... My heartfelt condolences, my friend. . . Been a while since they last let me out into polite society. Resurfacing, catching a breath, & catching up.  And while I got my Broad-Brimmed Pimping Hat on, could I cajole all of y'all to Comment on, Alone In A Cloud? It's probably the best thing that I've written! Lately... .

I was thinking of you today as I was up in your neck of the woods for the weekend. I hope you know I'm always sending you warm thoughts. It has been a difficult week here. 4th anniversary of my mother passing and the 2nd anniversary of my sweet hubby. I just try to look at it in regards to how far I've come. 2 years ago I never imagined I'd be happy again and now I am... Time is a miracle healer when it comes to the heart. Take care my luv  xoxox

I'm very sorry to hear that. Although we always know it will happen, no one is ready for it when it does.
