Thank you, everybody, for your prayers, kind words and support. I don't know why I'm not falling apart into a sobbing heap. I guess I'm still in shock. I cried a few times yesterday. OMG, it's going to be awful signing that paperwork for the cremation today. I remember how hard it was doing that for Dad, just two and a half years ago. At least I have great friends at my office who will be there with me...

I tend to get into the "take care of business" mode when bad things happen like this, which helps me get through it I guess. I was like that when XH first left, too. I've got a call into my counselor. Hopefully she can see me today.

I guess it feels selfish to be sad. I KNOW Mom is in a better place now. She doesn't have to worry about the chronic pain and fibromyalgia and multiple other health problems anymore. She will never hurt again, and that is such a blessing to know. The Monday night before she went to the hospital, when I was talking to her, she said, "I'm just so tired of hurting all the time." EVERY DAY was painful for her. Sometimes, it was so bad that she couldn't even get out of bed. She would just try to sleep all day so she didn't have to face it.

She doesn't have to worry about money or her emotionally abusive BF. She can look down and see us and DD anytime she wants, plus she's up there with Dad, Grandma and Grandpa. A few days ago, her nurse told my aunt that "someone" was there in the hospital room with her, watching over her and talking to her. The nurse actually said she felt a presence. I don't know how I feel about psychic stuff, but it was said that Mom had a gift, and it gives me comfort to think about that.

I'm so very, very sorry about your mom, Sadmommy. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I hope it is a comfort to know she's no longer in any pain and that she is with loved ones.

I'm so sorry to hear the news, SadMommy. You are very young to have lost both your dad and mom. Just know that there is no more pain and suffering for your mother.

I know that she loved you and would want you to have a good life. When a person gets older, and have raised their children, that is the most important thing for them.

I'll pray that God will comfort you and your brothers.

She was only 48. Her mom died at 46, and my dad died a couple years ago (will be three this January) at the age of 51.

I'm so saddened by your news. Your mum (and dad) were so young. You must be in shock. Take care of yourself and accept any offers of help that come your way to help you whilst you grieve such an untimely loss. God bless. TT

Dear Mom,

My deepest sympahty to you and your family. This is a hard trial in your life, may you find comfort in your love, cherished memories and beliefs you gained from your mom. Along with the support of family and friends.

This hard time hurts but later you will see the strength it gives so that you can use it to teach your little one when the time comes how to respect, love and live her life.

Hugz,
LeAnne
