I think I'm back.....
We buried my mother today in what turned out to be a beautiful ceremony followed by a lunch at her church. The snow on the ground is just how my mother would have wanted the day to be like. She LOVED snow.
I feel like I should be crying, but after crying all last night (and of course the last few days) at the calling hours and all morning today, I feel a sense of relief that has come over me. My mom is finally at rest and is no longer in pain. Her suffering is over and she is now in heaven with those who had passed before her. I'm sure there will be some tough days ahead but tonight I'm feeling at peace with everything. I feel amazingly calm, or perhaps that's tiredness setting in.
We had family I had not seen in a long time and lots of her friends and my friends pay their respects over the last couple of days. My mom was a very loved woman, even to those who never knew her. Thank you for the prayers and support.
I think I'm going to be just fine. I prayed for strength last night and that will get me through the tough times ahead. I'm ready to tackle 2008 and make my mom even more proud of me.
Hugs and love to all!

Re: I think I'm back.....
Again I am so sorry that you have suffered, I think you have an great outlook!!
I'm so happy that you have found some peace. You've had a rough go of it for some time now. I commend you on your strength and courage. Welcome back.
Sending hugs your way.
I'm glad to hear that things were as good as possible over the last few days. Like a pp mentioned, grief often comes in waves, and it sometimes hurts more to try and fit a phase you aren't in at that moment. Keep us updated, and more (((hugs)))
Mother's Day, 2011
Wishing you all the best in this new year!!! Glad to hear you are finding some peace.
Ditto what everyone else has said :-)
**HUGS**
I admire your strength and wish you the best for 2008!
