Re: So sad
Tricia
I am so sorry about your Mother....no matter how old we get, we never outgrow the comfort only a mother can give. You are both in my thoughts and prayers, hoping her memories will sustain you in the days ahead.

Re: So sad
I am so sorry for the loss of your dear mother! I wish I could give you a hug in person. Even though time eases some of the pain, life is never the same without your mom. My mom died suddenly at only 47 years of age. It was 53 years ago, and I still think of her and miss her every day. Something that really was a blessing to me was writing a picture book about her life and her family for my grandchildren and great grandchildren who never knew her. I thought it was for them, but it has meant more to me than I could have imagined! Maybe you might consider doing the same if you can. It was really therapuetic for me and the offspring loved the little book. I did one for my dad's life and family too. Hugs. TriciaK

Re: So sad
Dear Tricia,
I was very sorry to hear about your mom. I lost my dad when I was eight and my mom when I was an adult. A day doesn't go by when I do not think of both of them.
Take good care and I am thinking of you.
Love,
Karen
