once in a lifetime

I got a phone call half an hour ago.

My Mom died in her sleep last night.

She had just turned 57.

Sorry if you read this before I have had a chance to tell you, Stan. I will be making phone calls later. Right now I am in shock, I think.

I am not sure what I will need.

I'm so sorry for your loss. If there is anything I can do please let me know.

Loss

I think the only thing that helped me through the loss of my father is the simple realization that those we love may leave this earth, but they remain with us, they are always with us. I see him daily in my own reflection, and he lives in word and thought in my memory.

Not that it makes it easier now, but you have her. She's with you now and always. While we are frail, the emotions we share, Love especially, is the strongest force in the universe. Your Mother's love for you is eternal. She will be with you for the rest of your life, and with your children, and theirs..

Celebrate her life. Remember the good things. Let the not so good things go.

Blessings and love to you and your family. If you need to talk, I am also here.......

I am so sorry.
My mother died at 58, 23 years ago. I cant see her but I still hear her and feel her presence. A mothers love transcends death and she will be with you always, the bond between a mother and daughter is fierce and her death will change you but for all the sadness there is a realization of mortality and contectedness that doesnt come any other way.
Take time to grieve and honour her and be good to yourself.
