I am sorry Sheila. My sympathies to you and your family.
I know we never want our parents to leave us. They took care of us since we were born.
I lost my father when I was quite young. He was a cool person. I wish I had gotten to know him as an adult.
I lost my Mother when I was an adult. We were close.
I still miss her, but somehow I know my mother and perhaps my father have been watching over me during my cancer journey.
Your mother will live in your heart forever. She may not be with you physically, but she will never leave your heart and mind. Perhaps she will watch over you from someplace else. Take care. Hugs to you and your family.
