I'm sorry to hear about your mom, Julien.  Be strong.

Mom passed at 6:30 PM this evening. We are OK. I had my hand on her head and my sister had one hand, my wife holding the other.
Thank you all.

Julien

She didn't die alone and unloved, but surrounded by her family. I am sad for you, but happy for your mother that you could be there for her at the end. I'm sure that somehow, she felt your presence and that made her transition easier. 
 
Losses are so difficult, but consider that the only reason it's a loss is because you were fortunate to have had her in your life. That is something you can celebrate even while you grieve her death.
 
Her passing only ends this life, not negates it...nor is she completely gone, because you're still here and there is a piece of her that lives on in you.
 
 
 
 

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like a very peaceful passing though.

I'm so sorry to learn of your recent loss Julien.
 
Thanks for sharing such a tender and personal moment of your life.  It helps us all to know that we are never alone in whatever circumstance life throws at us.

Condolences to you & your other family members over your loss Julien.
 
Myself, I wasn't close to my Father when he passed in 2001, nor am I close to my Mother at all, but I'm sure your loss is much deeper than I can imagine - especially if one is close to their family members.
 
With all the words of 'staying strong' & 'be strong', I just want to add that it's quite ok to have a moment of weakness here & there too.
 
Be weak for a few moments - break down and let it out a few times. It would be unnatural not to.
 
After all, we wouldn't know strength, if we didn't have something to measure it against.
 
Best wishes Julien,
 
James

I'm glad you were able to make it in time to be with her. Prayers going out to you Julien.

 
 
Sorry to hear that Julien, you have my deepest sympathy.

Sorry you lost her Julian but you knew she was ready and you had the comfort of knowing she was not alone when she moved on, my thoughts are with you yours.

Julien, I'm sad to hear of your loss, but glad it was peaceful for all of you.
Like James said,  take some time for yourself to let your emotions smooth themselves out.
 
Karyn.
 
 

sorry for your loss Julien
 
prayers for you and your family
