Jen, My heartfelt sympathies to you and yours. May I say, no battle lost for Sheila....she IS a winner in every way....always. She is in God's hands now. Ceesun

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

Glad to hear our dear Sheila is no longer suffering. There is a giving tree in our local Towne Center, where I shall put gifts for the needy in Sheila's name.

Jen -
Now it comes time for you to rebuild your life without your mom's physical presence. Just always remember that her spirit is with you, and you will feel her soft touch on your shoulder from time to time. Be open to "loving presences" and they will reveal themselves.

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

I'm profoundly sorry for your loss~ my deepest condolences to you and your family. Sheila was a beautiful warrior spirit whose insight and wisdom gave me such hope when I was first diagnosed. Prayers for comfort and peace as you mourn the loss of your beloved mom. Will most definitely do an act of kindness with your mom in mind!

Re: Sheila has earned her wings

So, so, so sad...

Stay well, Jen.

Love,

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

Jen, Sorry to hear about your Mom- she will be missed. Like StephN said, now is the time to try and learn what it is like to have a parent in spirit. My own Mom died 2 years ago this spring- and I've learned to share my life with her as best I can though I can't see or hear her words. She is always with you because you are a part of her. God bless,

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

Jen, my heart breaks for you. I don't post much but read all the time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

Jen,
Steph as usual has said it all so well. Your mom had/has such a strong spirit and I will always hold her close in my heart. I also will be open to her loving touches.

Sheila, I promise to be kinder than necessary - not just today, but from here forward.

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

So sorry to hear this, I can see her now skipping down streets of gold. I too can attest to the very real presence in my life of both my parents after their passing. Take care Jen you are never alone.

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

Jen,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Thank you for being our link to Sheila when she could no longer keep in touch with us herself. You and your family are in my thoughts.

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

Gods Blessings to you Jen and your beautiful daughter Jasmine. May the peace of the Lord be with you always. Your mother will be missed so. Perpetual light will shine upon her always. If ever there is anything I can do please don't hesitate. You and your entire family are in my prayers. Peace. Your friend, Nancy

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

If my daughter loves and honors me even half as much as you have loved and honored your mother, Jen, it will be more than enough.

I am so glad she is out of pain now, but I will miss her voice here. From this day onward, when I'm given the opportunity to perform random acts of kindness, I will do them with Sheila in my heart and mind.

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

Jennifer - very sad news, and my thoughts are with you and your family. I hope to honour your mother's brave spirit more than once in Melbourne.
Warm wishes..... Pam

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

I am so sorry to read of Sheila's physical death. But as we know, she will carry on in her new kingdom and will ALWAYS be with you, for love is eternal. Look for the little signs. She was a very brave and strong woman and will be dearly missed.

Dear Jen,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I know you will feel your mom's presence in many ways and at many times. I will work on acts of random kindness in memory of your wonderful mom. Remember to take good care of yourself and family now. It is what your mom wants for you.

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

I am so so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I hope you and your siblings cope as well as you can with your loss. Know that she made a huge impact on many people, me included.

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

Jen,
I am so sorry for your loss. Sheila will be sorely missed by so, so many.
May her name be a blessing and her spirit be with you always

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

Jen,
I'm so very sorry for the pain you are feeling. I lost my mom a few years ago, and someone gave me a poem.

The idea was that a loved one leaving us, is like a boat sailing off into the horizon...

as the people on the side she's leaving catch their last glimpse of her and say sadly, "There she goes"...

the people on the other side of the horizon catch their first glimpse of her and shout, "Here she comes!"

I still get great comfort when I think of all the people who love my mom and were waiting for her on the other side. It helps me to know that when I cross over...she'll be waiting, and overjoyed to welcome me too.

You have rough days ahead, no doubt about it. But you have Sheila's genes...and more importantly, her spirit. You can do it. You'll go on, remembering your mom, loving her, and caring for those she loves...especially Jazzy and Sheila's beloved Jen.

Thank you so much for sharing Sheila's final days with us. I will miss her so much...but it would have been much harder if you hadn't helped us to ease into her transition. I appreciate your generous spirit.

All the best to you, and to your family
With love,
Denise

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

This has been a heartbreaking year for us here on Her2Support. Your mother was a pillar of our online community and I for one will miss her wisdom and encouragement. She was a lovely person, funny and so honest. I hold a great deal of respect for her, Jen.

With pleasure I will seek an opportunity for a random act of kindness performed in your mother's memory. Blessings to you and your family.

Sheila, I will miss your wit and wisdom.

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

Dear Jen. Thinking of you and your family at this time. I thought your words that cancer is nevermore were wonderful. Your mom was such a special lady, as Laurel said a pillar of the Her2 community, so very welcoming and compassionate to all of us who logged in in desperate need of guidance and encouraging words. I feel as though you mom is standing holding the hands of the women that have just gone on before her. They are all our special guides and angels. Lois

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

Many prayers heading your way today and the days ahead. May God grant you peace and know that your mom will be greatly missed by all of us on this site, she was a true blessing to many of us. All my love~

Re: Sheila has earned her wings
 

Jen,
Your Mum has given so much to us all here. I often quote her to friends - be kinder than necessary - it is just one of her invaluable lessons.
Gentle love to you, Jasmine, family and friends and of course rest well Sheila you are missed.
Love
Jenny
