i wish i knew what to say to help ease your heart as your mom makes her way from this reality to the next.... alas words fail me.
i wish i were there to hold you & your mom close, put on soft music & fix you a cup of tea...
know that i'm here if you need to talk ...or vent ... or wail....

i love you & am holding you close to my heart...

Thank you Ria (12.00 / 5)

perfect collection of music.

I am clawing my way through this, I feel bruised and battered but the love of this post has me floating in peace in this moment in time. I am in the arms of angels finding comfort here.

She fought so hard to live to her last breath. She was a teacher to the end that life is worth fighting for. I am glad she never knew about the gulf at least she didn't carry that sorrow in her heart.

Kathleen, (12.75 / 8)

your mom has been so fortunate to have had your loving care through the time. There is some solace in knowing that, though nothing really eases the pain -- pain is pain. I wonder if a "passing" of those, including our animals, we have loved so much is something we ever really get over, though with the time it begins to fade from the omni-presence of our thoughts, yet, just the slightest something can re-trigger the pain. May your mother rest in peace!

I'm sorry, Kathleen! Be strong! Hugs!

but really, who doesn't love Philip Glass?

Probably more appropriate here than Late Night Karaoke anyway. Enjoy!

My heart is with you, I wish words could help heal.
After my Grammy passed I was given some scarves of hers, I put them in a zip lock bag, and now when I really miss her I can open it, and her scent surronds me like an invisible hug from her. Although the scent is fading after ten years, it is still there, and is very comforting to me.

I hope this doesnt sound too strange....
