My mom died a couple weeks ago and I'm still struggling to accept. She left a family that loved her and lived a good life. There isn't much in my life she didn't influence in a positive way. After my father died, she moved from Colorado to Amarillo to be near my sister and her family. They looked after her but maintained a stubborn independence until the end. I will miss her but she will live through her family and friends.

Please pray for my family as we grieve and remember her.

This forum reminds me of mom sewing a replacement headliner for my first car. It surprised me at the time and stuck with me as an indicator of unspoken and unconditional love and support for something she didn't understand but didn't question. Thank you, mom.

I went to one of my friend`s mom`s funeral yesterday. His dad died 10 days ago. I told him, when someone dies, it is their Christmas.


Sorry for your loss.

My sincere condolences. I lost my mom over 45 years ago when I was 21 years old. I don’t believe a day goes by that I don’t think of her. I always have this feeling she is watching over me.

Sorry Shiny. My mom passed 4 days ago at 90. We will get through this brother. I am 55 and it never gets easier with age. But we are blessed to have them as long as we did. I hope you are a believer because it really does help to know she is with my dad again and happy. I know it sounds strange but as much as I will miss my mom, there is a peaceful happy side to her passing. I doubt I will live as long as she did but we never know. Best wishes for you and your family.

I can totally identify what you're going through, my mother passed just a little over a month ago. The people on this site were just great and sent many uplifting PMs, and posts of prayers. You can't beat an extended family like you have right here.

I will pray for you, and the family, that God may heal the gap in your lives, God bless.

Sooooo sorry for your loss being an only child and having no other living relatives except my Daughter, my Mom was my everything. I had her with me when she passed away from lung cancer holding my hand. It is very hard losing a Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you stay strong she is still with you. Another bright star in the night sky shines down on you always.
