In reply to the discussion: My mom died today. [View all]TruthAlwaysWins
(43 posts)41. My heart is with you
I am very, very sorry for your loss, Lucca18. My heart hurts for you. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I feel your pain, but I also sense the blessing that you and your family must have felt, having been there with her, and for her, through her final journey. May she rest in peace, and may you always carry her in your heart. Her love for you lives on.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says, There, she is gone!
there are other eyes watching her coming,
and there are other voices ready to take up the glad shout, Here she comes!
And that is dying. Rev. Luther F. Beecher

beautiful. So sorry for your loss. Truly a beautiful person in "the age." You should document her "travels".

So sorry. A parent's passing stirs up emotions never before felt. Stay well and cherish what you had.
