My mom just passed away

I’m so sorry to hear this Art. Your Mom sounds like a hero, good on her!! My best to you and your family.

…..

It’s such a tough, cold and confusing time for anything, and to think your mother has left… I am so sorry for your loss.

I still believe (as with my own mom) that they are within our hearts and truly never leave. I still feel my mom’s presence in time of deep thought.

I hope that you can properly be comforted at this time. Hugs to you and your family.

Hell, no... I'm not giving up...

Losing Mom always sucks. Sounds like she made the best of a bad hand in life.

Judging from what I know of you – just your posts, but often we can tell more from that than actually meeting someone – your mother was a wonderful person and mother.

so sorry for your loss….

She must have been a great mom.

It’s hard to loose anyone dear to us, especially your Mother!  Try to remember the good times and forget the bad (if any).  And take care of yourself !

Your Mom was heroic. The world certainly is a poorer place without her.

Not much comfort in this,  but you were extremely lucky to have such a great Mom for so long.  Sadly,  I have friends who weren’t so lucky,  in the quality of their Mom or the length of time they had them. Not much comfort, I know.  But it helped me when I lost my Mom a couple of years ago to remember how lucky I had been in comparison with my less fortunate friends.

Sending courage and comfort,  brother. Peace

I’m from Pa. but we probably lived similar childhoods My mother was a proud, strong woman. She raised her children to be survivors and for that I am forever grateful.

You have friends here and we feel for your loss. Losing Mom is difficult. Keep your closest family and friends near you at this time.

Nothing makes losing a beloved parent easier except time; still I offer my sympathies, understanding, and a virtual hug.

I know how hard this can be —

Our deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Sorry for the loss of your mother, Art. I really didn’t understand how valuable our mother was until she was gone. It is funny, but one of her favorite old sayings was, “You’ll never miss the water till the well runs dry.” She loved those old sayings.

Grief has a strong physical component.

My mom passed away five years ago, and even though we had a difficult relationship, it was an earthquake. I hope memories of your mom and her goodness will comfort you in the days and weeks to come. You and your family are in my thoughts.

I was raised by a single mother so I understand the struggles.

Deepest condolences to you and your family Art.

The time in which we are living is horrible, it inflicts unimaginable pain and suffering. The most common, ordinary rituals/customs are now out of reach. Try to reflect on the good times you had with your mom and the relationship you had over her lifetime. Truly, that is what matters.

What is happening now is out of your control. You did your best. Peace.
