My mother died tonight. I was going to write something at length. I have spent a chunk of the past 15 minutes with one or two words running through my head, looking for a sentence to belong to.

I'll write more another time. For now I will say that I will miss her terribly, and I'm glad she's no longer hurting, and I love her, and I got one of the best when I got her for a Mom. And for a better writeup, see my Dad's at http://pheon.livejournal.com/447953.html

Rest in peace, Mom.

Laura, I'm so sorry. I wish there were better words to say here to bring comfort to you and your family... but from your dad's post, it sounds as if she was at least at home, and as comfortable as possible, and with loved ones around her. My thoughts are with you.

*hugs lots and lots* I wish I knew something to help. I'm thinking about you.

Relationships are constantly being untied and tied anew; it's what makes them dynamic. Any good relationship will have loose ends, by their very nature. For me, the hardest thing about death is how those loose ends just hang there, untied. It's a hell of a thing to bear.

May you find the strength to lay your burden down, Laura. And please know that your friends are with you every step of the way.

Like the others above and those that will come below, you and your family are in my thoughts during this time.

There are no easy words of comfort to give.
