Painful, unbelievably so

Saturday evening, at 5:41pm, I sat alone beside my mother on her bedside, held her hand, and looked upon her face as she died. I was very close to my mother, a momma's boy. I spoke to her all the time and never imagined what it would be like to not hear her voice again. I can honestly say I've never felt so much pain in my life.

Experiences like that made me realize long ago the wastefulness of finding offense in the actions of another. And the importance of finding faith in God and seeing the good in others. Without it, we are lost.

I am sorry for your loss, Sir. It hurts losing your Mother. May she rest in peace.

I agree with your statement, and I believe in God. You will see her again, just as I will see my parents again someday.

Damn, sorry to hear this. My sincere condolences sir.

Praying for peace. lot's of us have been there too. it will get better.

Condolences.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I lost my mother 24 years ago and I still think about her all the time. It doesn't feel like it right now, but the pain does subside over time even though we never stop missing them.

Prayers for your loss. I know your pain. 18 years ago I was in the hospital room with my mom when she passed. We were also very close. She was 55....my age now. Sobering....cancer sucks. I miss her every day.

I pray fond memories eases your pain....

Real sorry to hear that.

Both my parents are gone. My father passed in 1981, my mother - four years ago.
I still miss them both.

Prayers up.

Yep. If you don't know God everything will piss you off. My grandma told me forgive and forget and if you have to go somewhere and start over to forget it's okay too but forgiveness is key. Don't burden your life with heavy baggage that others can't carry and try to throw on your back, you can weight yourself down enough by yourself but you have to learn what to hold on to and what to let go of both spiritually and materialistically.

I'm a few days from being 4 years in. You'll never be the same. The new normal it's just a strange feeling.

Sorry for your loss.

I'm only 35. I was 15 when my dad died. I wasn't there. I'm not looking forward to when it is my mom's time to depart.

Grace and peace,
JDK

Thoughts and prayers to you Sir.

I am sorry for your loss

Sorry for your loss.

May she rest in peace.

Sorry, mom's are very special people

Condolences for your loss. Sounds like she did a great job of raising a son.

Prayers for such a big loss

My Mom died in 1979, she was 57, sucked !!!


So sorry for your loss, prayers for her

Sorry for your loss. Parents, especially the ones we are close to are a very hard loss.

I watched my dad battle cancer for 2.5 years, knowing the entire time it would be fatal. He moved in with us for 2 years and died in hospice in our house. You would think 2.5 years of knowing the inevitable is coming would prepare someone, but I called like a baby at his funeral. He was my hunting buddy for 20+ years, the woods just haven’t been the same without him.

So sorry for your loss. Be glad you were with her. I know it hurts like hell. Lost mine 3 years ago.

So sorry for your loss

So sorry to read this, Prayers for you and the family.

Lost my Mom a little over 10 years ago and my Dad a little over 8 years ago. There is not a day I do not think of them and thank God for them. They are both in a better place and I will see them again.

Sorry for your loss - unfortunately, other than those that pass before their parents, we all have to face this inevitability, and it stinks. The good news, once the pain goes away, it is replaced with the good memories. Looking back on life, and just about everyone is in the same boat, we do not do a good enough job of appreciating our parents when they are around, and often don't realize it until too late.

RIP Mom...

Dear brother. I will pray that the Lord will give you a peace and calm during this painful time in your life. This earth is but a temporary place for Christians. We shall all be together again in heaven. Only a pure and absolute love, a Christlike love, can create the pain you feel now. You are a blessed man to have such a love. To know such a love. To share such a love with your mother.

.

may she rest in peace.

Sorry for your loss and sending a prayer for you and yours.

Im incredibly close to my folks, dont think i will have a good way to handle it when that day comes.

My sincere condolences, and yes it's a unique pain, losing a parent.

Sorry for your loss brother, my heart goes out to you. I’m a mama’s boy as well and it made me tear up reading that. God bless both of you,

Our condolences Sir

I lost both my parents this year

We will be praying for your peace as you grieve her loss

I'm sorry man, condolences and prayers.

My deepest sympathies. Lost my Mom a year and a half ago. Think of her everyday. Had several dreams, and one was incredible. Not only got to see her, but we also hugged. To me, that's their way of letting us know they're still a part of our lives.

Prayers for peace and comfort.

Sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad Jan 2019 and my Mom June 2020. Because of the COVID we haven’t even had Mom’s funeral yet- just her interment.
While I miss them both, I take comfort in that they are better off and together again.
And while it is right to mourn them, I also know - as a parent myself- that one of the hallmarks of being a great parent is raising your children to be self-sufficient. So rejoice in the thought that she is and was exceedingly proud of you as a son.

Praying for you for strength during this time. I have been there,....time helps a little.

Respectfully.

I’m so sorry for your loss.
Prayers sent for you and your family.
My mother passed away in 2015.
I still think about her everyday.

My deepest sympathy May your faith in the Lord console your loss.

I pray that God gives you peace that passes all understanding. I am sorry for your loss. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need to talk.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

I am very blessed to have my mother. I, too, am a bit of a momma's boy. We have bought several properties together, remodeled houses together, traveled, etc. She's 69, but in good health...pray she's here many more years. I remember when she lost her mother. My mom was 44 at the time and literally overnight her bangs turned from blonde to gray....strangest thing I've ever seen. It was painful to watch her mourn...truly painful.

My heart breaks for you and my prayers go up for you and all she leaves behind.

My condolences aerangis. Sorry for your loss.

Hang in there and always remember the positive she brought to you and others.

Please accept my condolences......Her love never dies........

I also lost my Mother years ago. Luckily she passed away in her sleep. Best for her and my family. Sorry for your loss.

I'm very sorry that you lost your mother. You were blessed to have that depth of love from her, and for her.

Condolences to you sir. May the warm memories you both shared live on strong in you. May God bring peace and comfort to you.

She raised you right. She feels no pain now. Thanks be to God.

You're a good man, aerangis. Your mother is at peace now. God bless you.

I know your pain. Lost my Mom about 4 years ago. Even now sometimes I can’t discuss it. Hurts too much.
