Mom is now free.

Mom passed away early yesterday morning. She was comfortable and calm through the last moments.

I want to thank you for all of the wisdom and advice through the years. I learned so much from all of you and everything I learned helped to support her and make her time living with this disease a little easier.

No amount of time “preparing” for the loss of your loved one can change the shock and heartbreak when the time finally comes. I am heartbroken and miss her terribly, but I’m so glad to know she is now at perfect peace.

    Dear MrsAnnabelLee, I am sorry for the deep heartbreak the loss of your mother is bringing. She had the blessing of a wonderful caring and loving daughter; she would be so proud of you.

    In time, though you will continue to miss her, the feelings will not be so raw. I now am able to feel the love and sweet memories and even talk to my mother once in a while and let her know I am thinking of her.

    Love goes on and on . . . .

    J.
