KathG Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hi Everyone I just wanted to let you know, that my Dear mum passed away on Friday night. I have been staying at my sisters for the last three weeks helping to look after mum. Mum was able to get up till Tuesday when something changed and the Doctors upped her medication, after that she slept most of the time. At the end she slipped away very peacefully. For that I am very grateful.My two sisters and myself where with her, I like to think she knew we where there . My emotions are all over the place right now, but at least I know Mum will be now with my Dad Thank you for letting me share this with you.

shelleywa Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Kath, may I add my condolences and prayers to others above; I know what you're experiencing because my mum passed away, with me and my sisters close by. I come originally from Derby in the UK, and flew back there when she was sick. My other sister flew in from South Africa, and my Derby sister was there waiting for us. It was a time of renewing sisterly relationships, a deepening of more adult ( than childhood) friendship between us, and a time of sharing memories of our growing up together. It was a time of sadness, but also joy as we celebrated our mum's life. I pray that God will give you strength to do all that needs to be done in the next few days, and that you will experience peace in the midst of the journey of grief.

LauraJ Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Kath, How wonderful that your mum could slip away peacefully with you and your sisters there. I would think all of you there helped her pass over easier for her and all of you. When one of my family member's pass - we always look for a sign from nature that they are at peace and joy. If I could share this one example (I have many.) My mother was heart-broken when my cousin passed at 65. He was the laughter and delight of her life. My parents had moved into a new home three weeks before and all the landscaping was brand new - nothing had flowers on it. My dad walked out to the front of the house early one morning, two days after my cousin's passing and one of the azaleas in the front of the home had lots of blossoms, seemingly overnight. A hummingbird was drinking from them - my dad called my mom outside (mind you they were standing only 4-5 feet away and it did NOT fly away) and they watched that hummingbird for quite awhile. My mom thought about my cousin and when a complete sense of peace came over her - the hummingbird then flew away. Call me crazy but I believe angels or heavenly messages are sent to us in so many different ways to let us know our loved ones are ok, that they are still here with us, albeit on another plain of existence, and that we can go forward in peace. Kath, may you find comfort knowing all the love that was in the room for your mum that day, that it strengthens you during this time and know that it will continue forever.

Rae50 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I wanted to add my condolences to those already expressed. You and your sisters will be in my prayers during this time of grief. I lost my Mom 14 years ago and my Dad 10 years ago. Not a day goes by that I don't think about them and miss them. With the passing of time, it's not as painful, and I have great memories of them that make me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
