Colleen, I wish I had the words for you that would make you feel better. I like to believe that we will see our loved ones again and that at that time your mum will be able to answer your questions. Trust that she is there with you, watching over you. Giving you gentle prods to help you face the day. I can't find the words to comfort you although I wish I could. I'm really sorry for your loss and if I could take your pain away I would. Be strong and know that all of us on OCF are here for you anytime x
