My Beautiful Mother is with the Angels

Hello there,
At 9:10am after a courageous 8 year battle with this horrible disease, my mom took her last breath and went home to God and her mom and to meet the sister she never got to meet. She went peacefully and when they took her body away, she had a smile on her face. She was at rest and she is free from this disease and suffering. There is a hole in my heart that will never leave. I love u my dear Mother, you will live in my heart forever. Until we meet again paradise your memory will live in my heart. I will miss you so much.xxxxxx
She waited for me to get there, as she laid in her bed, I wrapped my arms around her and said momma it's okay to let go, you fought well and you can rest in peace now. We will miss you with all our hearts but you have suffered enough be free, spread your wings and fly.
She closed her eyes yesterday and went to sleep and she finally passed this morning.
Thank you for all your support and welcome here, I will be here to watch over you all and hopefully to offer my help for those going through the same sad times.
Take care of yourselves and stay in touch..
Hugs Michelle -
So sorry for your loss. One can tell that you loved your mom and she loved you back. Peace be with you.
-
Mimi, I am so sorry. Where she is, cancer can never touch her now. May she rest in peace.
-
Michelle, you have the sympathies of all of us here at Breastcancer.org.

My condolences sweet Michelle. I am thankful that you were able to get there to be with her. May the LORD draw you close at this time. My heartfelt prayers are with you and your sisters, esp. your young teen sister.
-
Michelle, I am so sorry for your loss of u'r beautiful Mother--she will watch over u and is free of her pain.

So sorry for your loss! When my son passed in 1997 someone sent me a card with a quote that said "When someone you love becomes a memory...that memory becomes a treasure." Those words still ring true for me today 15 years later. Your Mom is at peace with God and the Angels, and your challenge is to begin to pick up the pieces of your broken heart as you move forward on the path. You will never forget, nor would you want to. May God Bless you and your family, and my your Mother Rest Eternally In Peace.

Death leaves a heart ache
No one can heal
Love leaves a memory
No one can steal.
I lost my Mom to BC 16 years ago May 31st, she was 64 years old. Fought for 6 years. I miss her dearly.

Thank you everyone. As the night draws closer I feel so lost. I want to see her as she was before cancer ever came into our lives. I want to hold her hand again and kiss her face. Why, did this have to happen to her. I know there is a purpose to all things but she was all we had. It's going to be a long night for a very long time. I am so sad, and I don't know what to do with myself.
-
mimi, I'm so sorry for your loss! It will feel dark for a time, let yourself feel the sadness, let it wash over you, then when the light begins to show through (and it will, even though it doesn't feel like it right now) let yourself feel that, too. You don't need to "know" what to do, or why, just be! Let others love you. ((((((((((HUGS)))))))))

Michelle - I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing....
My mom passed three years ago after suffering ten years with end-stage Parkinson's. I miss her every day, but I know she is dancing with the angels, and all those she loved who went before her. Her suffering is a thing of the past.
Reading your words, hearing the things you said to her, made it very clear to me that you were the best, loving daughter you could be.
You escorted your mom out of this life into the next. What a gift you gave her! And after all her suffering, she crossed over with a smile on her face!
I always think of that song - "I will rise when He calls my name; no more sorrow, no more pain..."
She will always be in your heart. You will always be in hers.
May you feel God's peace and comfort in the days to come, and may warm sweet memories soon fill the hurting places in your heart.

Michelle, my deepest sympathy. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry you lost your dear mother, Michelle. I'm glad you were able to be there with her, and that her passing was peaceful. {{{{{{{{{{Michelle}}}}}}}}}}

I am so sorry for your loss. I too was with my mother as she breathed her last. It was a hard yet profound experience. I still miss her, and that was many years ago now. If your mom was like mine (and I'll bet she was), she will expect you to be sad, but also will want you to move forward as time goes on; have new experiences, do interesting and challenging things, and to really appreciate and enjoy life. My best wishes to you and your family. Ruth

Michele, my deepest condolences on your painful loss. May G-d send you comfort.

I am so sorry Michelle.

Michelle, I hope it's some comfort to know your Mom is out of pain, and hopefully in a better place. I'm glad you made it to her side before she left this life. My heart breaks for you and your family.

So sorry, Michelle....

Michelle....I'm sorry for the loss of your sweet Momma. My Momma passed away on 12/31/06 from lung cancer and I do know how you feel.
I'm not going to tell you that it will get better with time....that's not true (at least for me). I miss her as much today as I did the day she died. I've learned to cope with it better.
I think she's my special angel and I know that she has been with me every step of the way on the breast cancer journey.
I'm praying for you to have sweet memories to fill the void you feel now. Take time to think of those happy times and know that she is smiling from heaven and waiting to see you again.
God bless you and your family,
LaDonna

I am so sorry for your loss. Cancer just takes away too many loved ones, and leaves too much pain in it's place.
I hope you will allow yourself time to grieve as you need to.
Again, I am so very, very sorry for your loss.

Hi Michelle,
I'm so sad when I read your words of grief and all the difficult wrenching emotions that come with grief. I'm grieving too. I hope you are having a good day today.
Love Amy -
Dear Michelle,
I am so sorry for your loss of your mom. You obviously loved her very much and there is a big hole in your life now. I think of my mother just about every day even though she has been gone 29 years. My deepest sympathy. -
I understand your loss and how much it hurts. I lost my mother to this horrible disease Friday Feb. 7 2014 at 6 am in the morning. She went peacefully. It was hard to let her go and it still hurts and will for some time my mom will always be in my heart and a large part of me is missing now. I know time will heal the intensity of the pain but it will never heal it completely. My mom asked to be sedated and they did that for her in the palliative care she was in. We only found out in December she had stage 4 b/c we expected her included she had more time, but the cancer had spread throughout her body and the hospital told us they could only treat the pain not the cancer it was too advanced, she went quicker than we expected so add to her passing was the initial shock of learning on in Dec. 2013. I have grieved twice first her diagnosis and then her passing with hardly any time to catch my breath or come to terms with it all. So my heart is broken and shattered and picking up the pieces and moving on I know will take time. This board and reading books and doing research on-line has been comfort to me. Thank you for all your support. Warmest regards, Karen

Karen,
I am so very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Karen,
I'm so sorry that your Momma was taken by this evil disease. The fact that there was so little time from diagnosis to her death makes it especially hard. My Momma died on 12/31/06 and I miss her more each day. She died from lung cancer and I know that she's in a better place but I still miss her so. I tell people that I know it will never get better for me but I think you just learn to handle it differently as time goes by.
I'm praying for you sweetie, just reach out to your friends and family and don't be afraid to let them help you.....it will take time.
God bless you,
LaDonna

Hello Karen,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I send to you my deepest condolences for the loss of your mom. It's the worst feeling in the world and I understand your pain. It seems so unreal at first, I was not sure what to do with myself for many months. This June 8th will be 2 years since we lost her and never a day goes by that I don't feel a pain in my heart. I think of her several times a day.
There are days even still when the reality of it sends a shrill sensation through my body and the reality of her loss comes over me. It's been a long road. While I am comforted to know she suffers no more, I am human and I would much prefer here here with me, alive. She was just 57 and I and my sisters felt robbed. The youngest now almost 18, was turning 16 two after mom passed away. She had very little time with mom and 8 of those years was of sickness.
Allow yourself to grieve. It's okay. It's okay to be mad. I was mad as hell for a long time. Allow yourself to feel what you need to feel. Your heart just took a big thump and it hurts. My mom died 3 months before my wedding day and so all I had of her was her picture and memorial candle at the altar. It was the best and worst day of my life. But I felt her with me. And you will feel your moms presence from time to never. She is there but behind that veil we are not able to see through with living eyes. But you'll see she will make her presence known to you. She will be with you always and after you have allowed yourself to grieve, you will learn a new way to feel her presence.
I am still healing, still learning, still coping. The pain will never go away, but I am trying to see through the sorrow in hopes that I can live as proudly for her as she always wanted. We will see our moms again Karen, that's for sure. May God send his Angels to surround you, comfort you and hold you up at this sad time and if you ever need a friend please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I stop by here once in a while and I get notifications when a message is left. I have been in this community since 2004 so I am just a message away.
Be at peace Karen. Take care of you!
Michelle
