I found her in her bed. She was my best friend for 51 years. It's barely been 5 hours. All prayers appreciated.
I am so sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace.
Oh my goodness!
May God bless you and keep you, and lift her up to Heaven!
God rest her soul. She has passed and is still watching over you.
+ Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. +
Prayers up, Mama. May God give you peace in this time of mourning.
I am so sorry.
Praying for you and your family.
Prayers respectfully offered.
I’m so sorry, Shawna. Prayers going out for you and your family.
My condolences. My Mom joined my Dad and her parents, brother and sister in Heaven on Thanksgiving Day.
She is in a better place, as is your Mom!
Oh!
I am so sorry!
It is a shock I’m sure and my condolences go to you. Time will not erase the hurt but it will push it down.
As we rationalize the inevitability of death we think of many things. It is too early for you but in time you will rationalize as you accept. When that time comes be grateful she died peacefully in her sleep and that when she closed her eyes last night she knew she was loved and you were near. Not like my Dad who struggled and fought evey step of the way until he passed as I held his hand and he could only give me a squeeze as his life ended. Or my Mom who is healthy as a horse but can’t walk and whose mind is failing so fast. If she could simply fade in her sleep it would be merciful to her I think. I can’t bathe her, toilet her, or tend to her needs so othes must and as that goes on there is no joy in Christmas or any other thing as the image of her in the nrusing home haunts my mind on the surface or as a steady undercurrent to the rythm of life with my wife, children and grandchildren.
Yes, you have prayers offered on your behalf but be grateful God has been merciful. As terrible as it is it is all natural and intended in God’s plan of course and her time has come as will mine and yours and all of ours.
You have my prayers of condolence and support. Take care.
May it be His Will to comfort you at this most trying time!
So sorry for you lost. Your family will be in our daily prayers for the next several day. God Bless you.
Joining in prayer.
I’m very sorry to hear of your beloved mom passing. May God bless her, you and all who loved her.
So, so sorry. Thank you for trusting FR to help you carry the grief. Prayers for strength in the coming days. God bless you.
