Jeanne, I'm so sorry. Your family sounds so loving -- your mom must have been very proud to have raised daughters who appreciate and support each other! She must have been a wonderful mom and you and your sisters sound like wonderful daughters. Thank you for all the helpful and tremendously thoughtful posts you write here. I hope you and your family find comfort in the coming days and weeks.

Look for the little things that your mom will "leave" you to let you know she is fine. If you find money, especially pennies, that's the message that she is allright.

Jeanne, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. You're all so blessed to have the love and support of family. It will give you all such comfort in the coming days, to be able to lean on one another and support each other thru your grieving. Your mom did a wonderful job, to have nurtured the bonds of sisters.

There will probably be little comfort when the Holidays roll around.

zytrhr, holidays bring about so much emotion after one has lost a dear one. But having a close family helps a person get thru it a little easier, a bit less feeling alone.

I know. It's going to be tough for Jeanne when they do come around. She may really need her family.

Such a wonderful person your mom is/ will always be, to have raised all of you to be so caring. I sure this is not the only thing you have experienced in your lives, I will try to use the parts of your story for my moms as best, unfortunately my family only want to fight about money, the only one who really wants the end to be peaceful and loving is feeling like a loser, trying to make the other stop. But my prayers go out to all of you and bless you for honoring your mother for how she raised you.

Jeanne you are such a good daughter!!
When Heaven's light shines brightly
She will part the clouds above,
And when you see the sunbeam
She is sending you her love.

Jeanie so sorry you have lost your wonderful caring Mom. Far better for things to have happened the way they did than to have to witness a slow decline. Hard to believe at first but you also have wonderful sisters to comfort each other. Thinking of you and sending love and hugs.

Thank each and every one of you for your kind thoughts.

I opted not to go view my mother's body. I guess that is just not meaningful to me.

I did go to the nursing home to help a sister empty Ma's room. It was meaningful to me to hug her special friends and to talk to some of the people who provided care for her. She was well liked.

I'll be staying around on this forum.

Hi Jeanne, every one of your posts have been full of information and inspiration. This one about your Mom is no exception! To any of the newer posters on this site, I would encourage you to always give thought to Jeanne's postings. She is a wealth of knowledge. Your Mom was lucky to have you and your sibs, just as lucky as you were to have Mom. God bless you for all you have done for her and your husband and for the experiences you have shared here. Sending prayers your way . So happy you will be staying on the forum.

I'm sorry about your mom. I'm also glad that you and your sisters were able to share with caring for her and not just one person. We all know that it's a rare family who pulls together at times like these. You and your family are one very close loving family.

So sorry, Jeanne. How you and your family looked after your mum was definitely a text book case on how to do it. I am glad she was not in pain for long. Thinking of you and yours at this time dealing with the aftermath. I am glad you are sticking around. Be sure to take care of yourself.

So sorry, Jeanne, for the loss of your dear mother. You are so very blessed to have a close and supportive family. May you find comfort knowing she no longer is in pain, and in the arms of our loving Father. May she rest in peace, and may you and your sisters continue supporting each other.
