Hello My Dear Friends,
There will be no post this week on space2live. My lovely mom’s suffering (from the symptoms of ALS) ended last Saturday. She passed away peacefully with a smile and a tear before she took her last breath. My sister, brother-in-law and I have been deeply involved with taking care of all the details that arise when someone you love dies, including planning the most beautiful and meaningful memorial service ever.
Please, in lieu of reading a space2live post this week, take time to listen, encourage and be patient with those close to you. Send a note, give a hug, say thank you, say I love you. My mother was an extrovert but our different temperaments never stopped the love from flowing. She was steadfastly in my corner. I’ll miss that lady.
New subscriber to your blog and just read this. My deepest condolences…

Now also place your right hand on your left shoulder please.

Thanks.
Feel the hug.
Thank you Cynthia. 🙂

The hour IS coming take courage! Peace&Love
I am sorry. My condolence
Thank you everyone.:) I’m grateful for our thoughtful and kind community here.
My deepest sympathies.
Brenda, I’ve been an avid follower of your blogs for awhile now as you seem to write exactly what I think and so much resonates with me. This one too resonated with me as sadly, my mom just passed 3 weeks ago of cancer. It is a tough pill to swallow – witnessing a loved one with a terminal illness, but like you, I’m so grateful to have had such a close relationship with my mom. She was a special lady – as I’m sure your mom was too. Prayers and warm thoughts are being sent out into the universe to you.
Thank you! I am sorry for your loss as well. The memorial service we held helped bring back happy memories of when my mom was fully herself. Sort of cleansed the memory of the last year and a half of her being ill. Peace, strength and a hug to you.
May the Lord Bless you and your family with strength at this difficult time. So sorry to hear about your MOM. May she rest in peace….amen….
Oh Brenda! I’m so sorry to hear about your lovely and loving mom. My heart is with you in your grief and a million angel’s arms are surrounding you. Sending much love, light and comfort in the days and weeks ahead. Xoxox
Oh sweet fellow Inny, I am truly sorry to hear of your loss. My own momma passed away 2 months ago, we were the best of friends. I am extremely thankful, with you, to hear she was supportive of your introversion while being an extrovert herself. God has blessed both you and I with wonderful mommas. I’ll be thinking of you during this season.
My condolences to you and your family.
My sincerest condolences to you and your family. Find strength in each other and your shared memories of your mom.
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Praying for you and your loved ones!
My condolences on your loss.
So sorry that you lost your mom, Brenda.
I’m sad with you for your loss. Take your time, nobody expects you to be giving encouragement to your readers when you’re in need of space and encouragement yourself. I hope you have all the support you need to help you process your sad change and sweet memories.
heart goes out to you Brenda. beautiful words to honour your mom’s memory.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the sad demise of your mother. I pray to God that his soul may rest in peace. Amen.
