Lost my best friend yesterday

My mom passed away yesterday. She was 80 yrs old and had been ill for some time (alzheimers and lung cancer) but no matter how expected, nothing can prepare you for a loved one dying. I haven't written of her illness before. I just can't seem to put thoughts into words sometimes. My sister and I were both with her at the end and I think that made it a bit easier. I'm grateful for this site and the opportunity to share this. Thanks for listening.
 
Mark, I am sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom 3 years ago and couldn't be with her at the end. That has to be a blessing for you to be there for her in transition. Thank you for sharing. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Mark aka THOR
 
Sorry for your loss, my Mom passed away a few years back. We still miss her.

Condolences from my family to yours.

Man, that's rough. I think it's harder losing a mother than a father for many folks. Mine is still alive and I feel guilty as hell that I never seem to find the time to even call her, much less see her. I know one of these days I am going to regret this deeply.......

Cherish the memories.........
 
So sorry for the loss of your mother:( I lost my father a few years ago, but had him living with me literally until the very end, up to 36 hours before he passed away. It's hard to lose a loved one, but take consolation in two things.
1) She's in a much better place.
2) You were a great son to be there for her and care so deeply.

I'm glad that both of you had the opportunity to be with her at the end of her journey:thumbsup:. It will mean more and more to you as time passes.

Thanks for sharing with us and please, let any of us know if there's anything we can do?

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I’m very sorry to hear of your loss. It’s good that you were able to be with her, I’m sure it helped her.
 
Im very sorry:( luck have been a fickle thing lately.
loseing a mother is the hardest thing Ive seen on anyone, you cant even say the word mom around Greg without him getting deppressed..
 
Thank you all for the kind words and thoughts. Today I woke up a bit less depressed and I know each day it will get a little better. My mom lost her husband (my stepfather) just over 3 yrs ago and she never really got over it. It makes me happy to think of them together again. Thanks again, Mark
 
I share your pain brother. I lost my mom when I was 17 and my dad died on Easter, the year before last, after several health issues. No one can really prepare for the loss of a loved one, but time and friends are both on your side. God Bless you and your family, you're in my prayers.
 
Mark,

We are so sorry to hear of your loss....you and your family are in our thoughts.

I am so sorry for you loss Mark.
My Mom passed a couple of years ago. She had pancreatic cancer and the last few days were very hard for her. The only consolation I have is that I was able to be with her when she took her last breath. She was a religious lady and I know she is in heaven watching over me every day. I firmly believe that there is a Heaven and you will see your Mom again.
 
Sorry for you loss Mark. It is a chapter in life, we all must go through. At least she was in very good company when she passed...

Mark, sorry to hear about your Mother. Having your parents go before you is the way it's supposed to happen. My wife has an Aunt and Uncle in Homasassa who lost both of their children ten or more years ago, and THAT is just not right. My Mom left us in 2002, and I still find myself thinking "I'll just call Mom, she'll know who it is I'm trying to remember"! DAY-UM do I WISH I could call her one more time! Peace, bro...........

Mark,
My mom died about 4 years ago... cancer, emphysema and all that goes with smoking. Self inflicted but, I still love her and miss her. Watching her pass away was one of my life's most difficult events. She is with my three brothers now. All I have left is my Dad... and my children of course. Keep your family waaaay close. After all families are the building block of society. A strong family is the corner stone of all we hold dear. Without family we are simply...
lonely.

It's never easy losing a Mother. They are the most special people in our lives. My prayer for you and your family is that you should always remember her and know that her sweet memory will be with you forever. The Comforter will come.


May His Peace be upon you always,
