My mother is gone

[crowdog66]

She's gone. George was with her, and she passed away between one breath and the next.

I'm on my way to the hospital now.

It was as simple as that.

*hugs* I'm so sorry for your loss, Laurie. I hope you and your mother have peace.

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I know that she does. It's myself I'm not so sure about, but that's the lot of the survivors of the death of any loved one, I think.

Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved mother. You and your family remain in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank you so much for your phone calls earlier this week. I didn't have time to return them with all the running around we were doing, but they were heard and appreciated. :-)

I can only say I am glad it was simple and that I hope she is at peace. I am sending you all my thoughts and love and support. *hugest hugs* Know I am with you in spirit.

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I am SO looking forward to you coming back to the city.

Oh, and I've heard from our caretaker that there might be some suites coming open in our block. When would you want one for, and what is your price range.

[eastpath.livejournal.com]

August 1st. Between 600-700 for a one or two bedroom.

My managers are starting to pressure me for a date.. eek! If they have a suite, and you could look at it for me and tell me it's cool we'll take it sight unseen (I trust ya) and we'll FedEx the damage and first month's rent provided we can scan/sign and email the rental agreement first.

If anything it's a foot in the door back into Corydon and we can look for something else after the fact :)

I so totally appreciate it given that you are in the middle of funeral arrangements for your mom, so I'm not trying ot add extra stress. But know I love you lots for thinking of me during this time. *HUGEHUGS*

[dark-puck.livejournal.com]

You have my deepest sympathies, Laurie. May your mother rest in peace.

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I know she's at peace, and I'm glad of that. My own pain is a whole different story.

Laurie, I am so sorry for your loss, but so proud of you for all you have done for your mother. Even though this has been so very hard on you, you have held up tremendously for all that has been going on.

This is such a difficult process and I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts.

Thank you. *hugs* I like to think that my mother would have been proud of me as well.

Laurie, I am so sorry for your loss.
However, I am glad that George was with her, and that she passed peacefully.
I have to share this with you. As you can see, this post is made at 420 pm CST.
Sometime during the night, I half awoke and **knew** your mom was passing, or would pass this very night. I knew to the depths of my soul. I then felt an overwhelming peace come upon me, and felt her passing as peaceful.

I got up at after four this morning and **had** to check this blog to see the news, to see if your mom had crossed over. I am glad it was peaceful, and her suffering was not prolonged.

Laurie, we are here for you now on your journey of grief, loss, and love. Again, PLEASE feel free to call me. anytime.

"We all come from the Goddess, and to Her we shall return, like a drop of rain, flowing to the ocean. Corn and grain, corn and grain, all that falls shall rise again! Hoof and horn, hoof and horn, all that dies shall be reborn.."

Thank you. You've already been a tremendous help in this process, and I may yet call upon you again for aid. Hopefully Dayna has gotten in touch with you re: the handfasting -- thank you so much for being willing to step up to the plate on that so I don't have to worry about it.

[sockospice.livejournal.com]

My condolences to you. Will be thinking of you and sending strength your way

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'll take all the strength I can get at the moment. :-)

*hugs back* Thank you for your kind words.

[beckyh2112.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I'm so sorry.

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

*hugs back* She lived the way she wanted to live and died the way she hoped she would die. Insofar as anyone can be satisfied with the outcome of a situation like this, I am.

*nods and hugs more*

:: Big hug:: Sorry to hear you lost someone that you loved so dearly. You're in my prayers, that you'll have the strength to get through this dark stretch on the road, and that your mom's soul will find her place on the other side.

I wish my words didn't sound so lame...

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

*hugs back* Your words aren't lame at all -- they're very comforting. Thank you.

[crisiks.livejournal.com]

*hugs* My condolences.

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Laurie, I'm so sorry. I'm running out of time on the library computer but I just wanted to let you know I care and give you a virtual bearhug.

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

*hugs back* Thank you. Many, many times over!

[silverjackal.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry.

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. If you need to call on Colin and I for anything, please do.

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

Thank you -- your kindness is greatly appreciated.

[jeffheikkinen.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry, Laurie. Know that I am thinking of you.

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

Thank you... I'm still pretty numb right now. It's good to know that so many people are putting good energy my way.

[eleanore-c.livejournal.com]

Laurie, I'm so sorry for your loss. Hugs. Please feel free to call if there is anything I can do

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

Thank you for your kind thoughts and words. *hugs back*

[brienne.livejournal.com]

Laurie, I am so sorry for your loss. May your mother rest peacefully--I'll continue praying for both of you.

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Your prayers and kind thoughts are very much appreciated.

I sense that she is resting very peacefully, and I'm glad of that.

[princessmusey.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry for your loss. At times like this the only thing that you can try and remember is that she is now in a place where pain doesn't exist and she is free of the physical constraints that the cancer was causing her.

She will continue to live on in you and the people she touched throughout her life and they will be forever grateful to have had her in their lives.

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

*nods* I'm trying to keep those things in mind. Thank you.

*HUG*

[brannie-bird.livejournal.com]

My thoughts and prayers are with you, my friend. Peace to you and yours.

*hugs back* Thank you.

**HUGS**

[bodi-kat.livejournal.com]

i'm so sorry, Laurie, but i'm also glad for your mom that her suffering is over. She was in so much pain ...

That may be of little comfort to you now, so instead, focus on this; i am always here if you need to talk.

Let me know if you're having any sort of a service, hon.

Again, many hugs. You are strong, my friend, stronger than you know. You WILL get through this.

Re: **HUGS**

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

*hugs back*

Fortunately she was only in pain for a very short period of time in the grand scheme of things.

I'll try to call you this weekend (my brain is mush and I tend to forget things lately); perhaps we can get together for coffee.

The details of the service are in my most recent LJ post.

[cockatiel-art.livejournal.com]

**hugs** Glad to know I could help you have a fun night after her passing. **hugs again** I'm glad that her passing was peaceful and without pain.

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

*hugs* It was great having you and the "little ones" over -- it really helped to take my mind off things. :-)

[chimera452.livejournal.com]

Laurie, you have my deepest condolences. I know how numb you are feeling right now. Been there and done that myself just eight months ago. When it finally sinks in, as hard as it will be, please take some consolation in the knowledge that she died peacefully, without pain, and knowing that she was loved.

Know that I am thinking of you, and that I'm here for you.

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Thank you. I'll try to get in touch with you over the weekend; my brain is pretty much mush right now, so I tend to forget things.

[deepkissez.livejournal.com]

May you find peace, Laurie. I am sending you strength and compassion at this time of need.

In love and light.
