(5,141 posts)and I meant to pm you to see how you both were feeling, but after we exchanged messages I got much sicker so I haven't been on here.
I am so so very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Nothing anyone can say or do will take away your sorrow, but know that your mother will continue to live as long as you do, through your love and remembrances. In time, the tears will subside, however slowly, and will be replaced by the smile that will cross your face when you think of her.
Although my parents are both alive, my own dearest Grandma died in my arms 23 years ago and not a day has gone by that I don't think of her. And as I have slipped into middle age, I see her own face when I look in the mirror and hear her clearly every time I laugh. The "mystic chords of memory" will keep your mother with you for the rest of your days.
Just remember, not only were you blessed with such a mother, but she was blessed by having such a devoted and loving child.
