I couldn't read and not post, but I really don't know what to say, so I am sending you strength to get through this incredibly hard time.

You have had the honor of loving her and being loved by her for all of these years. That is what will get you through this. Seeing a glimmer of her in your everyday life and family is what will get you through this.

Grieve your loss when she is gone, but give her the strength to let go. She needs to know that you will be okay. And that you are so very thankful for the time that you got to spend with her.
This is EXACTLY what I wanted to write, only more eloquent. Your mother sounds like a beautiful person. I lost my dad in March, and I am really trying to keep his memory alive in my kids. It helps. Your mom and all her wisdom is a part of you! you will pass it on to your kids. Your mom will not be gone.
s to you.

I also wanted to suggest that if she is well enough, give her a notebook or tape recorder, and have her write a letter to each of your kids with love hopes memories and blessings in it. My dad did this for each of my kids and my DH and I as well as my brothers. They are special treasures, and I think they helped him feel like he was passing on some memories to us, especially my DS who was only 2 when he passed.

Oh Mama, I'm so sorry for the hardship and sorrow that you are and will be going through. Please dont lose your faith - it is far to valuable and precious. Our Lord is so strong and mighty, He is our Savior and our Deliverer, the lifter of our heads. We dont know why He does the things that he does, but we just must commit it to Him and place our trust and our hope in Him. He is our strength in times of trouble - we may not like what is going on, but what else can we do but cry out to Him? If we turn from Him, our darkness and confusion only deepens because we have lost our light. Share your pain and sorrow with Jesus, dear Mama, and He will comfort you. He was broken and bruised for our sorrows, etc, remember? He was raised to be our intecessor in the heavenly places. Isaiah 43, or something. I'm sorry, I wish I could write more to encourage and bring you comfort, but I have to go, my baby is crying... I can only suggest to read in the Psalms. Love and prayers.

well today is due date hope all is well
i just wanted to pop in and say i recently lost my mom... the pain and anguish i feared most never happened ... and i have come to the conclusion that it is because we had no unresolved issues... the people who seem to feel the most pain are the ones who had unfinished business... i really think you are going to be ok ... the day my mom died was one of the most beautiful incredible experiences i ever had and i will never forget it ... you can look at a website i made if you want ... its just about her celebration and some notes in tribute to her

This is a wonderful idea, and I think it would mean a great deal to have something of Nana even if your youngest might not know her while growing up.

Sending you lots of s tonight.
