For all who showed me support (littlemommy928)

Thank you everyone for your kind words and support. It means so much that those who are going through the same pain can step outside of it to comfort another.

Today I saw my mom for the last time in body, but her spirit will live in my heart forever. It was so dificult to watch them close the casket - but I have to remind myself she is not gone - she is always in my heart. It is hard..so very hard. She looked so peaceful and I know she is in a place where there is no pain or suffering.

The pain I feel can not be measured, but neither can the love I feel in my heart for her. Now more then ever she is inside my heart - I can feel her with me giving me her strength.

Today was a hard day, and soon I will have to go to her house and go through her things. I pray her strength along with my own will get me through the days ahead.

Sending a prayer your way. Remember that God is with you in the days ahead. Hold onto his grace each day as it comes.

Take baby steps honey. Don't try to rush the process. If at all possible, wait a few weeks before going through personal items that will bring more sorrow. Today was the first step toward healing and it will take months to complete. I am still working on my sad days. They are getting fewer, but, just last weekend the tears flowed.
Don't miss the smallest of signs that she is watching over you. I believe that with all my heart. Lean on God's love and your close family members and friends. Know that we are all thinking of and praying for you.

As you go through this difficult time, know that your Mom is in a very special place watching down on you. Take things slow. My best to you

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. You are so young to have to experience this...I know it is devastating, I am sure your Mom is looking down on you, proud of how you cared for her and wanting you to move forward and be happy. Know that she is with you...and will continue to care for you...hoping you find strength to get through this.

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your mother. You did all you could, of that I'm sure. My Mom is struggling right now and my heart goes out to you. Don't beat yourself up over any of this, I'm sure your Mom wouldn't have wanted that. Stay strong, but give yourself permission to feel all of your emotions. My love to you and yours....

Your mom will be with you forever, except now she is whole and heathly and pain-free. Her love will fall on you with every rain drop, every ray of sunshine, every brightly colored leaf sailing from a tree and every white snowflake gently falling to the ground, for all the years to come.

Cleaning out your mothers home will be very difficult. I know you will find somethings that will remind you of wonderful times together - and maybe you will smile when you think of those times. Smile if you can, because that will make your mother smile - and you will be enjoying another special moment with her!

I am so sorry for your loss. This is one day you will never forget, and you already know your mom lives in your heart.

Hang in there LittleMommie,

You will have good days and bad days, and remember you are not alone.......I will be thinking about you and praying for you....when you think you've had enough, stop and think of your mom, and she'll be right where you want her, in your heart & soul.....
Don't rush to get rid of your moms stuff......the worst thing that I know was when my father-in-law passed away, my sister-in-law got rid of all his stuff.....now my mom's in-law is sorry and so am I....I would have loved to have something of a keepsake.....
when my dad passed, I took pajamas, a suit, and a tie. my brothers were making fun of me but I told them tuff....that's what I wanted and my mom didn't mind......

Whenever you feel down....just remember, your'e not alone.....keep the faith.......

Sincerely,
Carol

Littlemommy,

I'm so sorry for your loss. If you can please take your time cleaning out her house. Give yourself time to mourn her passing. My mom passed 9 days ago and we had to have her apartment cleaned out by yesterday. It was so hard to do and I didn't want to get rid of anything. My garage is full of boxes of her things. I even kept hangers! It's just so hard to not be able to go back to her apartment and take time to sit with her things and mourn her passing.

Please take care of yourself and take baby steps to help you through this sad time.
