I am so very sorry for your loss. I know there are no words that can help you to feel better right now but I do believe that your Mom is in a better place- free of pain, suffering and fear.
In my heart I know that we will see our loved ones again. That's what I hold on to. Knowing that they will continue to live in our hearts and minds, and that they will be there waiting for us.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
