It has been painless and I hope peaceful... so it seemed. Though sad, so terribly sad.
I'm so very sorry, Olivia. I also recently lost my Mom, and I'm still sort of in a daze about it. Now mind you,..my Mom was almost 98 years old, and we had expected her to go soon. But I guess I actually wasn't as prepared for it, as I thought I was. And one time she told me about when HER mom passed (my grandmother was 98 as well, when she passed). I will never forget what my Mom said about it, she said:
"It just takes a long, long time to get over the most strange feeling that your mom isn't here in this present world anymore"
And that's exactly what I go around feeling. I just can't seem to wrap my head around the idea of mom not being here in this material world, like she's always been all my life. Thoughts of her and memories just swirl into my head at the oddest times,........
sending you prayers and good thoughts at this time....
