Oh Dena, I am so sorry for your loss. You are right, your mom is in Heaven now and she is so proud of you for what a great person you are and all you have done for her, and for so many others. She is at peace now and I just wish you some peace and solace at this very difficult time. Please know my love and deepest condolences are with you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I am sending so much love and strength to you. I am so sorry. Yours always, Nancy (Truffles)
Oh Dena, my heart aches for you. Yet as I read your email, I had this beautiful image of your mama smiling down from heaven saying, "Thank you baby girl. Thank you, for your loving care prepared me for my transition in to heaven." I know you feel privileged to have been her caregiver. She was blessed to have had you. One of the best things you can do in her honor now is to take good care of you. My images of your mama rollicking in heaven, ease your sorrow now. LeAnn coauthor Chicken Soup for the Caregiver's Soul
Dearest Dena...My heart is with you and I am sending you much love and healing energy to help you through your sacred space and time of reflection, transition and understanding. Through my personal experience there is no time specific for the mind, body and spirit healing and embracing of one's loss. I know for sure though that our connection to each other is endless...always loving and a heavenly space of which I can go in a very instance to feel a love beyond words...filling my heart with my father's spirit helps open it wide and even wider because I know too he is painfree, happy and surrounded by and filled with an amazing love...He is home!!...This understanding for me, now colors my rainbow, and a space for him to shine through me, his spirit, happiness and unconditional love...It is my hope you will feel this connection too with your Mother's beautiful spirit and her love. But, healing through this time is truly a process of the mind...the body and truly your spirit...Take the time you need, talk when you feel the need...feel...feel...feel...Honor your spirit...Honor your needs...You are surrounded by much Love...in the Now and eternally from your Mother...A blessing treasured and one healing for your soul!
Be Well, Blessings & Always Much Love and Support, JanetC
Dear Dena, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother's death. You have a special gift. Few people can say that her mother is a hero. And that makes her loss all that more poignant.
I'm sure that you WILL see her in heaven, and that she is sending you comfort as your mourn her passing.
I send you healing thoughts as you navigate the days ahead of you.
Dear Dena, My heart goes out to you at this time with the passing of your beloved mother. No words can change the feelings, circumstance of your life, nor the “busyness” of your thoughts. It is a process, the energetic ties between you and your mother have separated as she moves to another place. Please know as I am sure you do you are thought of at this time, you are loved at this time and have people around you who care and are able to support you even if it is at a distance. This is a great place to stop and express how you are feeling in any given moment. Those that post here are kind, caring, loving individuals who may not have the same experiences as yourself, but similar enough to know a small bit of your pain and lose. Many Blessings at this time to you and your family Marcus
My heart goes out to you. I know your mother is just smiling up in heaven looking down on you, you were there for her when she needed you most. Your memories can help you through this time. Thinking of you.
I wanted to thank everyone for your responses.I have been so busy going through Mom's stuff.It is the hardest thing I have ever done.We had a family reunion last weekend.I have never been without my mom.I took pictures to my aunts and uncle.They were so happy to get them.I have stayed at my mom's for three weks.It is time to come home but,I know it is going to be hard.I am trying to get done by wed.My birthday is thurs.and it is going to be awful without her.My boys have been wonderful.Well,I'd better get back over there................God bless all of you for being here.....love,Dena
I know its been a while since you posted this message but I still wanted to reply. I do understand how you must have felt. I use to care for my grandfather and when he passed away..there was a void in my life for a long time (because he raised me and was a friend to me). I still miss him dearly. I hope all the beautiful memories of your mother helped you get through her loss. After all, the people we love live on through our memories.
I am so sorry for your loss but you mother is in a better place now and I hope that the love you have for her will help you move on in life and live it to the fullest.
Dear Dena, It has been forever since I've been on here!!! I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. You have been such a loving daughter to her...I'm sure she is looking down and thanking you for everything. I hope you are getting thru this sad time in your life. My deepest sympathy to you!! I still miss my husband something terrible. I finally decided to go to a grief support group at my church after 7 months of crying. You think you are such a strong person after years of caregiving, that you can do anything and don't need help. I honestly think this is a harder time than when I was caring for him. When I'm at work, I sometimes forget that he won't be here when I get home and that is HARD. He was the love of my life and best friend. Once again, my sincere sympathy and please take care. You have been there for so many!! Love, Bonnie
Dena, I was reviewing some of the articles that I have posted on Strength For Caring and although I had read your response to one of mine previously, I never took the time to contact you. It has been months since your note about relating to my mother issues while taking care of your mom during her illness, and I am so sorry for your sorrow in her passing. I just wanted to let you know that you did a fabulous, wonderful, loving thing for your mom and she will honor you forever. Amy
