I am very sorry to hear about your Mom but relieved to know that she went peacefully and that Hospice helped. They have bereavement programs that you may find useful as time goes on.

There will be a lot of things for you to focus your energy on between your Dad and caring for your own family. Your Mom has obviously had a tremedous impact on your life. I believe that love does not die and that we always carry a little piece of our loved ones spirit in our hearts.

Everything is going to be a raw nerve right now but I promise you it will get better. Anger is understandable in these circumstances but not comforting and not worth your energy. How wonderful that you were able to share this final passage with your Mom. She is beyond the suffering and at peace. You are her legacy and I know that remembering her will help you find that too.

My deepest sympathy for you and your Dad, and I hope that his recovery goes as expected and that he comes home soon.

Regards JoAnne
