Late yesterday afternoon, my mother died peacefully in the company of her best friend and myself. Mom’s been inching toward death since mid-August, and while I’m sad that her life has ended, I’m relieved to have her dying ended.
We’ll be having a short service followed by burial on Friday afternoon, so Jack and I will be taking the rest of this week off. We both hope that you have a Merry Hallowe’en, and we’ll see you again on Monday, November 4th.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Voyager. All my love to you and your family.
I am relieved for you both, I hope you can start to remember her in happier times jolly soon.
I’m sorry. Please do take time off and take care of yourself. I am relieved she was able to pass with people she loved. It must have meant a lot to her.
My condolences.

My condolences. I remember that feeling well from when my grandma died, relief mixed with grief. I’m sure having you by her side these last months of her life meant a lot to her. Now it’s time to take care of yourself, please take as much time as you need. ♥

My sincere condolences. I lost my mother earlier this year and felt the same mix of grief and relief.
Take as much time as you need. I’m glad you were there for her in the end.
I am sorry to hear this, but I understand the mixture of sorrow and relief that you feel. It was the same way for me with both of my parents. Take good care of yourself.
My sympathies as well. I am glad she could pass surrounded by friends. Take your time, voyager.
Thank you all so much for your kind words. Your messages mean a lot to me.
