I'm at her funeral this weekend. She actually passed away last Saturday but I didn't post it as it helped to have a place to come where I could briefly set aside my overwhelming grief & think about something else besides how terribly much I miss her.
She turned 85 just 2 weeks ago. She'd been seriously ill and died unexpectedly of heart failure. I'm in Buffalo now w/ my Dad (his 84th bday was yesterday) and my 8 brothers and sisters.
My mom loved arranging flowers, cake decorating and had an awesome sense of humor right up to the very end. She adored chocolate (like mother, like daughter!) and her family.
My Dad is hanging in there now, but has a lot of tough days and nights ahead. He's been caring for her for months and the toll shows.
Any cyber support would be much appreciated.
Thanks Cathe friends.
Oh, Joan, please accept my deepest condolences. I'm lucky enough to have all three parents (my mother, father and stepmother) still here, and your own sad loss makes me realize all over again how important they are. Please know that you are in my thoughts at this time, as well as in the thoughts of your Friends In Cathe.
Love,
Annette

Dear Jonahnah,
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how you must be feeling and I know that nothing I say can make it better.
So I will just say that my heart bleeds for you, and I can only pray that your heart will heal quickly.

Jonahnah,
I'm very sorry about your Mom. Personally, I've never experienced anything more painful than the loss of my mother. I know the loss and the pain you feel. You're father will be sad but yall have a large family and that means everything right now. Hopefully some of your siblings live close enough to your father that they can help occupy his time with things other than him sitting alone thinking and getting depressed. He needs to have things to help occupy his time. He needs to do things he enjoys. He (like my dad) has been so focused on taking care of your mom that he now doesn't know what to do with himself. It's time for some new hobbies and new interests. He will get better each day and so will you. Brothers and sisters (or sons and daughters) are wonderful people. It's time to shift the focus and show Dad the love he showed Mom. My mom always said my dad was an angel because he did so much for her. He rolled her hair every night and got really good at it, lol. He was such a precious caregiver and moma was so lucky to have him. Your daddy probably did things like that for your mom too. Time to love the dad. He'll be ok. You'll be ok. Afterall, you have each other. Yall share a chocolate bar in honor of your moma. Have fun doing things in honor of her. Yall take care and hug each other.

I lost my Mom at the tender age of 8. I think that having to go through it now as a 36yr old woman would be so much harder. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I pray that you can find comfort in all the good time you had with eachother. ((((((hugs))))))
Sincerely,
