She was a beautiful lady. There's nothing I can say to ease your grief. She's no longer suffering and she now has her dignity back.
((((HUGS)))) Robyn my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
Thinking of you!
Beautiful picture. I'm sure right now, the best you can do is to put one foot in front of the other. I pray that you can find some peace.
I also pray you find peace, Robyn. This disease takes us on such a horrendously long journey. I really hope you can find some time for yourself to relax. You've done the best you could and I know your mom is smiling down on you and is grateful for the unrelenting love and respect you showed her. Hang in there. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts as you go through the funeral.
That's a lovely photo, a perfect choice for remembering your mum.
I've been thinking of you all day, Robyn. Just wanted you to know that.
robyn,
i am SO sorry for your loss. i have been out of town for the past week plus and did not have access to the internet. i wish i had been able to provide some support to you in your final journey with your mom.
please know that i strongly believe that your mom knew you were there for her and helping her with her final steps.
i'm glad your sister was able to be with you both at the end. please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
be patient with yourself as you begin your life without your mom. a huge void is there, but also one with many wonderful memories that you can carry with you forever.
thinking of you and sending many ((((hugs)))))
Beautiful. Thinking of you Robyn.
