Christine, My deepest sympathy to you and all of your family in the loss of your Mother (and your Grandmother). What a very difficult month for you. You did your Mother proud by all the care and love that you gave her all the way to the end. You kept her in her loving home and gave her the best care possible. Always keep in mind that your mother knows the love you gave her. My condolences Christine. You can come here to talk anytime you need to. Cheryl Ludlow BOH

Christine, sorry for your lost!! If you ever need to talk I do know what you're going through. I lost my significant other 8 months ago and that was and still is very very difficult. I never thought I would be without my Marty. You take as much time to grieve as you need. You're like a sister in our family and We love you unconditionally. No words can ever describe the pain you're feeling, as I was told every day will get a little easier, but it's difficult I know. We love you and call me any time and We can talk. Again I'm sorry. They're is no greater love than a mother's love. You're mom is in a happy safe painfree heaven. Just think about the good memories and box any bad and focus on your children and I promise you're children will keep you busy. Love, Tammie
