Your post brought back memories of 22 years ago when I too faced this painful moment. Thank you for sharing your words as I know these last weeks have spun you in many directions. Let adjusting perspectives guide you and take the time to appreciate what you have.
Stay Strong my friend
Wow. At least it was peaceful and you were there. When my grandmother passed, she slipped into a coma first, which at least gave everyone the chance to see here one last time and give her warm hugs goodbye, which probably helped a lot.
Stay strong my friend.
That's kind of what happened here. She slipped into a coma-like state, but this is expected with renal failure, which in this case was brought on by all the cancer.
My deepest condolences my friend. I lost my mother last week as well. I know how hard it is. I know the pain. The endless tears.
Her battle is over now my man. She's resting. Forever in your thoughts and your heart.
I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Oh wow, I'm sorry to hear of your loss as well. As painful as it can be, I believe it's the proper way of things that we outlive our parents.
There are many things that 'kept me going' when my Father passed. My family, my friends, music. These words seemed to ring true to me in those moments, and I've always reflected on them since.

Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss. May her soul rest in peace. Take heart
Heart-touching post, really helpful for people coping with tragedies.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure she is happy with your dad now. And I think she heard all she needed to hear from you and your sister. May she rest in peace.
Stay strong
So sorry for your loss @winstonwolfe
RIP! That so sad...
Our Family sends our condolences to your Family @winstonwolfe
I am deeply touched by your words and your situation. May her soul rest in peace.
I am truly sorry for your loss. BUT know this, after reading this powerful tribute, never doubt you are the best son a mom can hope for. And as a mom of 3, I can say moms never expect their children to be perfect. Xxx
You said
I'm glad you said that, such healing words.
I'm really sorry for your lost! I know how it is to loose someone close to you. The most important thing right now it is to stay close with your family members and share all those amazing memories she gave you guys. Stay strong.
I forgot to mention but there is an amazing polish song were the guy is singing
" And when someone you love
Suddenly is gone, you must know
This is only a journey
From dark rooms to
Gardens and warm beaches
High mountains and palm trees"
Sorry for your loss Brother.
Wish my English was good enough/better to express how deeply touched I'm after reading these words...
Been trough that pain myself before... I think I know how you feel right now. It's a pain that will never go away, it will just fade a bit... I really wish you all te best for you and your family, be strong and cherish your memories of her!
<3
Your mother ain't suffering anymore but I realize you likely are.. Sorry to hear my friend. She laid the love and fundementals to the good man you are today. You're allowed to cry, yell, drink, and all that jazz.. But remember to celebrate her life.
May your mourning help and your mother rest easy. Cheers my dude.
Wow man. It was great that you guys were able to be by her side as sad as it is to see her go.
I'm very sorry to hear this Winstonwolfe. I wish the best for you and your family.
you said
...they are. I know what you've gone through.
One thing I will say is that I appreciate and respect your respect for your mother and the dignity you allowed her. No want wants to burden their children...I'm glad you stayed until the end.
Bless you.
I wouldn't have missed it for the world. In fact, I had just run home to grab a couple of pillows and a blanket to prepare to stay the night. I was only gone maybe 20 minutes. When I got back, I was there for literally about 3 minutes when my sister spotted the change in breathing.
You'll go through a lot of different emotions over the next months. Take the time you need, grieve in your own way - there is no right or wrong here. I re read your post and noticed you said
It is natural. I makes sense. Regrets for doing this or not doing that better is all part of the grief. It's a common thought.
I don't know you at all and I don't know if we've even talked before....but from your letter you sound like a really good son.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
What a fitting and beautiful tribute to an obviously awesome mother.
I know your grief is deep but that is because your love was unfathomable <3
Wow. This is incredibly moving. I know this is an incredibly sad time for you and your family and I apologize for getting caught up in a silver lining already. It may not be time for that yet ... but the idea of being able to be surrounded by loved ones while you listen to the music you hand picked really knocked me off balance. It's simply too beautiful. It sounds like your mom is at peace and went out on her own terms. I am sorry for your loss but I'm happy you were able to spend every second you could with her.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. We can try to prepare ourselves for that final moment, but you never truly know how it feels until it actually happens. I lost my father to renal failure, due to different complications and I was with him in his final moments. I've lost other friends and family unexpectedly and never got the chance to properly say goodbye. This was a beautiful tribute to your mom and I wish you and your family peace and comfort in this difficult time.
That was a really intense read which brought me to tears. My sympathy Winston.
Sorry for your loss. I also lost my mother six years ago to the cancer. She was 61 years old. I'm glad I was at her side in her final minutes in the hospital.
My condolences and stay strong. Glad to read that she was not alone in the end and that the suffering is over.
And thanks for sharing this with us. Stay strong!
I am very sorry @winstonwolfe for your and your families loss. Your mom went to be with the Lord and your dad in the most amazing and peaceful way, by all of you being there and letting her now that she did everything she needed to do here on earth and I loved how you all supported her to go where there is no more pain and where she can finally rest in peace. Playing her song was so perfect and just brought tears to my face. Love your last picture of you holding your mom's hand, and it really felt so real and I could feel your pain right in my heart. You guys couldn't make your mom feel more loved in this moment. May the Lord give you and your family strength and comfort
Sorry for your loss. It sucks being an orphan however old you are when it happens :(
As I read Your story I cried with tears coming down my face. I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom sounded like a wonderful lady. She will live on everyday in you and all the people who loved her. She is in peace and no pain anymore.
You will see her again when the time is right. And I do believe her essence is still here watching over you with her love. Live life to its fullest it is what she would have wanted for you until you meet again. Stay Safe Always
