I didn't know if this was appropriate or not, but my mother who inspired me and stuck by me for 51 years left to meet her maker. The last year has been tough on her and at 88 her number was up. I drove her and wife and daughter to GreenValley Az then on to LongBeach for a visit with some relatives in April and didn't let her pay a dime. She really did well on the trip but memorial day weekend she began to have breathing problems and her heart couldn't take anymore. She donated her body to medical school. I can't begin to tell you except if you have experienced that death how lonely it is when you were used to calling 3 times a day and visited twice a week. She was in an assisted living place and wasn't out of the picture by no means. I'm glad to have family friends and people to share with. I hope this wasn't inappropriate.
On June 9th I lost my mother

Bev & I send you our deepest sympathies. Remember all the fun times and treasure them always, they will grow more precious with time.
Thank God she had so many years and you were close with her. It is never easy to lose someone that close..though i still have my parents ..i lost my only sibling on August 2 2004 and time eases the pain a little,..but it will always be there..and in some ways that can be a good thing..love carries on.
It shows how human we truly are. My prayers to you and your loved ones.

I am sincerely sorry
about your Mother's passing.
We share more than appliances here, and I think that it is appropriate to talk reasonably about what is going on in our lives. Even though I have yet to meet other members in person, I consider many members of this club-site to be true friends.
(I hope others think of me likewise.)
I know I tell a lot (but not everything) about my life here, and I think others do also.
Again, my sincere sympathies. My mother died in 2001, and the pain has lessened, but I still miss her and think about her daily.

The love of any mother never disappears. She is with you always as you also are literally made of her.
Energy can never be destroyed, it merely changes form.
Think of her often, and she is there. Please also talk to her whenever you can. Keeping the dearly dearted alive, and in our thoughts, is a huge honor and blessing to them.
Peace be unto you.

of course it's not inappropriate
And I am glad you had 51 years with her. We seem to never value what we have in our parents until they're gone.

Re: I know what your going through:
David, I've lost both of my Parent's some time ago and the Holidays, times of Birthdays and special Occasions at least for me aren't the same any more. I'm sorry to hear about your Mother's Passing and want you to know that my Blessings and Prayers are for you in your time of need and comfort.
I'm glad as others have mentioned about your being able to have the Trip together again, so you and your Mother could see Relatives again. It was kind of you to offer and pay for the Travels, to give her some more good times.
Know that we are all here for you, in Prayer and comfort and anything else you might need of talking or sharing.
Peace, Prayers, Comfort and Blessings, Steve

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. No one can ever replace our Parents.
This is the part I hate about reaching my middle age. My parents are both still alive, however, my Mother suffers from progressive global effasia (sp?). This affects her ability to use and understand language. My Father can no longer care for her and she is now in a nursing home. I cry a lot about this. I like my Dad, but was always closer to my Mother (Imagine that! A gay man who's close to his Mother!) I wish I could still talk to her like before.
I really believe your Mother is in a better place, watching over you. She does not want you to be too upset as you will be together again someday. Sit quiet and allow her spirit to comfort you...
