update - mom passed away last night

[halfwaytree]

So sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. May she rest in peace and may your hearts be eased even a little by knowing her pain has ended.

I know what you are going through. I lost my mom to cancer 23 years ago. I still miss her and think of her daily. I know the feeling you describe of being punched in the gut.

This mother's day will be difficult for you, as will the first Thanksgiving, Christmas etc.... without your mom. Use these times to honor her memory by sharing stories about her, especially those that were humorous. It sounds like that is how your mom would like to be remembered.

Again, my heart aches for you and those around you sharing this pain. May you find peace in the good memories.
