My mother died tonight around 11:40. My brother and sister and a close family friend were with her at the time. She was comfortable in bed at home.
As I knew this was coming, I should have written a proper tribute to her before now, but I have not. Now, I do not have the energy or the clarity of mind. Perhaps in the coming days, I will be able to give a proper reckoning of this woman who affected so many lives for the better. But not right now.
Now, I grieve. My mother is dead and my world will never look the same.

I'm sorry for your loss.
Sorry to read about your loose, We don't meet each other but I arrived jrrl from a wp plugin's site and want to give you some hope words on these hard days for you and your family.
The world will look the same, for through her love, wisdom and sharing you formed your views and vision. Living it in will be different, hurtful at first but with time you'll remember and live in it with her by your side laughing and crying with you because although she's not physically here with you she will always be with you and in your heart. Strength and wishes for peace in this difficult time.
My deepest condolences ((HUGS))
Sorry for your loss, but in the end, we all go eventually, and we'll catch up with those that went ahead. I'm not making light of your loss, I just hate to see people in pain, for them, death is a relief from the pain of life, celebrate their life, celebrate their freedom, from this world. Obviously, grieve the loss you feel, the pain is there to remind us of what we've lost. I just view death as a door, to another place, and that we'll all cross that threshhold eventually. They'll be waiting on the other side of the curtain with open arms.
John, my old friend, be at peace knowing that her pain is gone and that the memories, the lessons, and the legacy will remain.
I was sad to see your news here. I lost both my mother (when I was 12) and my grandmother (who later raised me) to cancer…so I definitely understand how hard it is to lose someone…especially to cancer. It's been 25 years since my mother passed on, and I still think of her every day.
I just wanted to let you know that if you ever need to talk to someone, please feel free to contact me.
Oh, John. I am so very sorry for your loss. From the things you've written, your mom sounds like a cool, brave & adventurous soul. Call me anytime, whenever you're ready to talk. xoxo
John, I'm very sorry for your loss. Please take the time you need to grieve and work through all the issues that death brings. *virtual hug*
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother to Pancreatic Cancer on September 17th, 2008. I am still not sure how I can go on, Mother lived with me, she was my best friend. I called her everyday on my way home from work to see what she needed or wanted,…….I miss her.
