AZSunny, it is so hard when someone you love dies.  I lost my father a few years ago.  What I want to tell you is that I feel his presence all the time.  Your mother will be around you.  You will catch smells connected with her, or feel a gentle touch on your hair or shoulder.  You may see something associated with things she loved.  She will find a way to let you know she is still around, so be open to her presence.  Sometimes she will come to you in your dreams.  Love never dies.  We shed our bodies, but our spirits remain. 

When I was a little girl, my father used to make fresh-squeezed orange juice in the morning.  He brought it to my bedroom to wake me up.  There was nothing sweeter than that juice brought to me by my Daddy.  A couple of years after he died, I was in the kitchen stirring some frozen orange juice.  I began talking to my Dad, telling him how wonderful that juice was and thanking him for doing that for me.  Suddenly I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. 

Just think of her, talk to her.  She will be there. 

Hugs and Love to you!  Mary

You are very kind.  Mom made her own decision to leave this world. She was 94 and had a wonderful life.  she had a series of mini strokes that left the body broken, but her mind and cognitive skills in tack.  with a 5th stroke, she could talk a bit, but not swallow without choking.  She declined a feeding tube, and we talked a lot before she died.  She was ready and excited to re-enter her new heaven. 

She died very peacefully and without pain.  She was quite a lady, and she always did it her way. I am glad the choice was hers, and we didn't have to make it for her.  She was in control until the end.  She even said, they are going to give me morphine now, and we may not talk again.  You know I love you...and I told her I loved her too.  She died about 6 hours later. No pain, and until a week before very active and happy.  Don't we all wish we had those choices?

Love to all and thank you for caring

Peace to you in these difficult days.

AZSunny,
Your mom sounds like a wonderful lady, I'm sure she left her mark on this world.  It is the ones left behind who are sad, as our loved ones go to Heaven and never have another bad day, and no more pain.  You are in my prayers, I hope you have enough memories to last you until you meet up again.  Hugs

It is said that if we live in the hearts of those we leave behind we do not die. You will keep your mom alive with memories of the special times that you shared until you meet again. What a blessing to die without pain with those you love nearby.

AZ....... I'm so sorry for your loss, but am inspired by what you've shared with us. You've told me so much about your Mother, and about you in relaying the events leading up to her passing. You and she had a special relationship that cannot be altered by the events of one day. Love is eternal, as is life and I know there was rejoicing at her coming to that other shore. You are so insightful to be able to embrace and recognize the little miracles that blessed you both and I know that you'll know where to lean in the coming days. May you feel His loving hand around you knowing that He holds your Mother, too. Love Ya', AZ. Mean it.  {{HUGS}}

AZ - I am so sorry for you loss. Your story was so amazing. I remember that my dad was much the same way. The conversations we had before he died were so wonderful and special to me. I still hear his voice even though it has been 7 years. When times are challenging I know that he is with me - guiding and loving - I pray that the same peace comes to you with time!
