I just lost my Mother

Very sorry to hear this, Eric. Hang in there, buddy. We're thinking of you.

My condolences, Eric. Losing a parent -- particularly a mom -- is tough.

I am so sorry, Eric. :'( My heart hurts for you. :u:

I wish I could be there in person to give ya one of these but this will have to do for now...

So sorry Eric. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Just got off the phone with my Dr. Sis.
She was there at the end and gave me all the details.
It was not good. At least she didn't die alone.

I'm very sorry to hear this, Eric. I hope your memories will give you comfort and bring you peace.

Now I'm a basket case......
I can't even bring myself to prayer
Last email from sis was about an hour ago they had just taken the body away.
THAT'S MY MOTHER YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. IT AIN'T A BODY!!!

I'm balling like baby now............................

I am a wreck right now.

I wish to God any of you could be here to hug me. I dam sure need it.

My deepest sympathy. The loss of your mother is one of the hardest things no matter what your age.

Sorry, for your loss, Hang in there.

Eric - I feel for you; hang in there. It does not matter if you are ready or not, it is still the loss of your Mom, and it hurts, it really hurts. But, it does get better with time. Don't give up on prayer.

Condolences

We are never truly ready for that.

But you have not lost her, she is in you and in your heart forever.

Listen to Ken seriously.

and find some peace in celebrating her life after your grief ebbs..

so sorry for your loss Eric. Prayers of healing for your family.

Sorry to hear that Eric, my condolences. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I know this does not help, but I am tearing up reading these post. My mom is starting to get Alzheimer's or some kind of memory loss. She calls every week and I am starting to NOT look forward to talking to her. This getting older stuff sucks.

My condolences. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Eric, I am so sorry to hear this.
I have been through this too, so I kind'a know where your head is at. It's so very hard to understand it all right now. Here's one thing that I did that helped(Not the most Christian thing I have done, but I know that God not only understood , but lead me this way.) I went out into our pasture and , in no uncertain terms or lowered volume, told God just what I thought about this deal he had just handed me. I bitched about it until I got it all out of my system. I just HAD to have that release. THEN I prayed. My mind was more at ease, I knew Mom was indeed in a better place and I knew that I had to carry on for my family. Clearing the air helped. (Don't do this in public or they will carry you away. Go out into the countryside where no one is about. Get it off your chest. Evidently country folk are used to strange sounds out in the pasture and won't call the cops?)
Until then, know there are many praying for you and your family. None of us can really answer your questions, but we are there for you. That's all we can do.
Healing comes VERY slowly. They say it will get easier with time. How much time? It does not happen over night. It's really more that you get used to the situation and learn to accept that we will all travel this road sooner or later. Nothing can be done to stop it. So enjoy who and what you have now while they are still around. Focus on that and move on.

Sorry Eric,

She is in a better place than we are right now.

Stay strong brother.
