New Here...lost My Mom

[LoriS.]

Hi everyone. My dear mother died on October 22 06' from old age and a cancerous tumor. She was 85. It was quick and fast and the saddest thing I ever went through. I was with her everyday for 1 week in the hospital and 4 days in a hospice unit of a very nice nursing home where they made things so comfortable for the whole family. I had some very small, yet profound conversations with her about how she was feeling, how I was feeling, etc. She was the most positive force in my life...she was my biggest fan! I'm an adult 48 year old woman, happily married for 25 years, have 2 wonderful daughters...one is getting married in October...but nothing has prepared me for how devastating this loss has been. I have some ok days but most of my days lately have been filled with tears and such extreme sadness and a sense of longing and yearning for her. I hope that I can find some "friends" here that will completely understand what I am going through.

Thanks in advance...Lori S.
