My Mom...one of God's Children finally at rest

[Mosbonian]

As most of you know a few weeks back I went to be with my Mom who was under Hospice care. I spent that week arranging for her care in her last days, making all the necessary arrangements for her funeral and finalizing her personal matters.

The last few weeks have been painful to handle, as my Mom slowly deteriorated to a point where she could no longer see nor speak, and only responded to touch. Having to idly sit by and watch as a loved one slowly slips away is something I would not wish on any person.

Early this morning my Mother quietly took her last breath and went home to be with her Lord. While the pain I feel inside at this moment is great, my solace is that she is no longer trapped inside a body that limited her wondrous artistic talent. She is now free to draw and paint all that she surveys in her new place of rest.

May your soul be at peace Mom....I love you and I miss you.

[Bugeater]

I'm sorry to hear that mmaddog. May she rest in peace.

[RJ]

My deepest sympathies, mmaddog, may your mom rest in peace.

[mikey23545]

mmaddog, my very deepest sympathies...

My mom passed 12 years ago, and I still think of her every day.

There is no one else in your life like your mother. It is a love and a bond that transcends these mortal trappings. Count yourself lucky for every year you had her in your life, and know that her love goes on forever, even if her her presence does not.

Be strong, my friend.

[Sure-Oz]

Sorry to hear, my best to you and your family

[MOhillbilly]

Bummer Dog. my deepest sympathies to you and yours.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Very sorry for your loss. You'll be in my prayers.

[FAX]

Mr. mmaddog, Please know that the entire FAX household will be praying for you, your family, and your mother. Words are insufficient tools at a time like this. I can only wish you the assurance, however, of the simple and absolute truth that your mother is now enjoying life in a far, far better form and place. I know this to be true. For you, your family, and the others she has left behind I pray that the promise in Philippians 4:7 be yours; "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds ..."

I admire your strength because it tore parts of our family apart, when my mom and her sisters had to watch and care for both her parents in the last stages. It is really tough on a family.

[Groves]

What a great job conveying both the sadness and happiness that you feel. Thanks for sharing a difficult moment.

[Al Bundy]

Sorry for your loss Maddog, My mom is the most important person to me in the world and I can't imagine what life would be without her.

[mounged]

I am so sorry for your loss. My mother had terminal cancer but passed from a stroke. It is horrible the feeling of loss, but with everything that was wrong with her at the end, her going was a blessing for her. She is at peace and without pain.

[dirk digler]

I am very sorry for your loss mmaddog. My prayers are with you and your family.

On a side note my ex-mother in law passed away this morning at the young age of 55. She was a heavy smoker and drinker and didn't realize until about 3 weeks ago that she had 3 tumors, 2 in her brain and 1 huge one in her lungs.

We always didn't get along but I am sad today because my daughter lost her favorite grand ma.

[morphius]

Sorry for the loss of your Mother, I can't even pretend to know how difficult that is.

She'll be in our thoughts and prayers.

[Nzoner]

Sorry for your loss Mark

[bogey]

Hey mmaddog's Mom, as long as you're there, would you please tap on my brothers shoulder and tell him to please come and visit me in my dreams. I've seen him several times, but he must be preoccupied with some fun heaven stuff. He's the heavy set guy with the cheezy mustache and is likely wearing a hunters orange vest. Also, and more importantly, please visit your son in his dreams as soon as possible. He's hurting right now, and needs your assurance that you're in a wonderful blissful place. mmaddog, you'll see her in your dreams, and you'll love it. I'm sorry for your pain, but your Mom will see you soon.

[Dylan]

mmaddog,

I'm so sorry to hear that. Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your mother.

Thoughtfully,
d.

[Frazod]

Sorry for your loss, man. I wish you and your family the best.

[evolve27]

Sorry to hear this mmaddog, just remember she is in a better place without suffering, have already given my prayer towards your family and you.

[Frankie]

My deepest sympathy and best wishes for strength for you and your family.

Mark, my deepest condolences. Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt note about your mother and her passing. She raised a wonderful son and likewise you had a wonderful Mother. I'm glad to hear her pain is gone. I know you will miss her. God Bless you and those whose lives she touched and will miss her.

[cdcox]

Mark, my deepest sympathy for your loss. I pray that your family can be assured that you will be reunited with her in our Lord. "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." - Rev 21:4

[Logical]

Mark, I arranged for the funeral of my mother when I was only 17, knowing how painful that experience was, I have the deepest sympathy for your last month.

[J Diddy]

[Ebolapox]

sorry for your loss. I don't have anything eloquent to add. I have both parents--couldn't imagine losing either of them (though I barely see either these days)--may time heal the hurt you feel now, and help you deal with this tough time.q

[Mosbonian]

To all my gracious friends here on CP....thank you for all your heartfelt thoughts and prayers to my family. I just arrived back in KY from NC after the private graveside services. Mom was buried in a beautiful spot in the mountains of NC near her mom and sister. My heart is still heavy, but she went to a better place.

A big Thank You goes out to Hospice of Catawba County....I had only slightly heard of Hospice before this, and all I can say now is I am thankful they were there. I highly recommend anyone facing a loved one's impending passing to look into Hospice Care.

Once again....thank you my friends for all your support.

Mark

[Brianfo]

Condolences to you and your family.
