I found the following not from Dyan under the "Hey Hey It's Roll Call" thread: My Mom had passed away Nov.2 and I have been trying to cope. One day at a time.... Dyan, you have my deepest sympathy for your loss, and prayers that you will have the strength you need. I hope that you will find comfort in your memories of your Mother. Love, Abby |

Dyan, your loss is one that is hard to cope with. I too, lost my mother way to early in life. Even though several years have gone by since her passing, the memories still bring tears. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Blessings & Hugs, Crystal |

Dyan, I like Erika, lost my mother in a car accident , but mine was when I was a teen. I have never gotten over the loss and often dream how my entire life would have been different if Mom was still with me. You are correct, you just learn to cope.....Sometimes, when I'm in familiar places were I was with Mom, it's almost as if I want to catch a glimpse of her as she was then....It's seems to be something that I still search for even though 50 years have passed. There is nothing as precious as a mother's love for their daughter, nor as that daughter's love for her mother. Please dwell on all your good memories. They will keep your heart warm and help with your sorry. di |

My heartfelt condolences. It's almost 20 years since mine passed, and I still shed a tear for the things that could have been with her. ((hugs)) |

Abby, I hadn't meant to draw attention to me like this. I am nevertheless so grateful for all of your kind thoughts and prayers. The most hard part for me is finding my Mom passed away. I live not 20 feet from her and had always hoped to be there for her when she would need me most. It has been very difficult dealing with not being there for her and finding her that way. I still can't go into her home when it is dark.... I thank you one and all for your prayers...I know I have not posted here much but have every night read all of your posts. So I do feel we are a family here and I will never forget your kindness in my time of heartache. Love and Hugs, Dyan |

Dyan, living so close to your Mom must have been wonderful. I believe you were there for her when she most needed you. Maybe it's your thought to have been there when she passed but might have been best that you weren't. I know you are in such pain and it might be each thought and memory brings floods of tears but I hope you come to a point soon that you don't feel guilty for not being right with her at her time of passing. I have a feeling her very being was with you all along. It's odd to me that I wasn't aware of the time when my twin passed although I knew that her time was close at hand eventhough she wasn't ill. But when she did go, I didn't know..I wasn't there with her..she was alone. Now I realize that it wouldn't have mattered to her that I be there...she would not have wished for me to see her go and agonize as I would have that I couldn't have stopped her. So please, take heart that she enjoyed all the times you were right there with her in life and she would wish for you to continue to enjoy yours, not without her, but with her memory in your heart and a smile on your face. I now live very close to my Mother..just as you did and I hope I'll be there for her as you were for yours. I'll be praying for you, Dale |

Dyan, I have a care home for the elderly and have been with several of my residents as they passed. I've held them in my arms and and told them it was okay to let go and go toward the light as Jesus was waiting with open arms for them. They all passed peacefully. Each of them did not want their loved ones to be with them as they passed as they did not want them to witness them take their final breaths. Several of them had families waiting in the living room until they passed and had been with them until about 10 minutes before they died. So be at peace that you weren't with your Mother. Often Mother's and wives want to spare their loved ones watching them take their last breath. di |

Sorry for your loss. I lost my dad last year. The "firsts" without are so hard and I hope that with Christmas coming you find the strength from somewhere to cope. Might not seem it now, but it does get easier to deal with eventually. Just let your heart and body do what it needs to do to grieve. Craig x |

Dyan, I am so very sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Losing a parent is devastating especially when it is unexpected. I lost my Dad one year ago today. In time, the grieving does get easier but I know it will never be completely gone. All the memories are still very strong and this is what holds my family together. Here is a little snipet I have in my wallet that I read from time to time. I don't know who the author is, but it is very soothing to the heart. Marti
Flowers blossom, then leave seeds and wither.
As seasons change, flowers will return.
People are born, then raise children and die.
That's how life is,
Inherited from one generation to another.
This is called the law of nature.
Your parents have lived and died according to the law of nature,
They have left a precious life called "you" here in this world.
Now, it is your turn to carry on with the life your parents have given you,
And let it live on in your children.
Life flows as one long river.
Marti

I want to tell you all how much you have helped and are helping me with all of your compassionate words of wisdom. They mean more to me than you can ever imagine. There are people who are blessed with many "real world" friends and I am blessed with many friends right here. Tonight is 2 weeks since my Mom passed. Love and Hugs, Dyan |
