I miss her already

My mother died last night. It was quick and apparently painless and just the way I prayed recently, "God, if she cannot be healed, then please take her to end her pain and suffering". She was ready, God was ready, but I was not ready. I should have known on Friday when I saw her that it would be the last time, but I didn't. She was honestly too tired to stay awake and see me, and that hurt me, a little. But even then, when being that tired was so out of character for her, I didn't know it would be the last time. "I love you Momma..I'll see you soon", was the last thing I said to her. I believed I would see her soon. But last night I was there, and she wasn't. Her things were everywhere in that house that is ALL her, her doggies were all over the place, her husband stood there crying, but she was gone. That was hard friends. Really, really hard. I stood there and so many memories came over me, from when I was small to just last week, and that was so hard. She was a good mom, no matter what, I knew I was loved. I guess there is nothing more that can be asked of any person. I miss her already.

Jamie you have been the best daughter for her, she knew that and she loved you so much. I'm so sorry you are hurting. It's the one relief to know she isn't hurting or tired or struggling any more. God will take good care of her.

I love you. Great big hugs.

Dear friend Jamie...I am sooo sorry. I know what you're going through and I also know that nothing anyone says right now seems like its enough. Its not easy and even though the years do help with the pain....I still deeply miss my mom and its been almost 26 years. Its truly wonderful to be loved that much, isn't it? Your mom knows she was loved too, Jamie. And just like Kelly says, God will take good care of her now. Sending hugs and prayers of strength for you and your family. Much Love, Charlotte

Jamie, Any words I can say are inadequate. The loss of a mother is like no other pain. I'm thinking of you and your family with kindness and compassion.

Cheryl said...

You're loved Jamie, and we feel your pain. No matter how prepared you think you are, you're not. Just hope that your mother is in a place that she's so happy, that she can hardly stand it. She's out of pain and not suffering. And you? One day at a time, one minute at a time.

I'm thinking this new job was maybe not meant to be. What do you think?

Just Me said...

I am so very sorry. I wish there was more I could do or say. You and your family are in my prayers.
