I am so terribly sorry. Losing a parent is always terrible. May you find peace.

I'm very sorry for your loss

I too am so sorry. it is hard to see those dear to us pass but this ones seems exceptionally difficult.

Jewels, I'm so sorry. Dementia is hard to bear, it makes her passing a second loss. My heart goes out to you.

My sympathies to you and your family.

Jewels, my sincere condolences. I don't think anyone is ever really old enough to lose their mother. Having a celebration of her life gathering is a beautiful way to remember her. It's also her gift to the family that her passing brings everyone together.

My mom passed away July 6. Dementia, congestive heart failure, and had been losing large quantities of weight. It's so hard to watch. I relish the last Christmas we got to have together. Got to cling to the good.

I am thinking of you. I lost my Mom three years ago and it's a crummy club to belong to. Please know this--you will have good days and bad days. It comes and goes. Sometimes things will hit you like a ton of bricks. Please don't feel guilty. You loved and cared for you Mom.

I am so sorry.

I'm very sorry Jewels. It's hard losing a parent.

I'm so sorry, Jewel. It was a long haul for both of you. I'm sure she knew how lucky she was to have a devoted daughter.

I'm so sorry ((jewels))

So sad and heartbreaking for you. I know how hard that loss is of losing a Mom. It was 20 years ago today I lost my Mom. You have my heartfelt sympathy. Hugs

We are literally a part of our mothers. Saying goodbye to them is saying goodbye to a part of ourselves.

My condolences to you and your family. Hugs.

I'm so sorry. Sending you and your family thoughts of comfort, solace, courage and sympathy.

I'm very sorry to read this. Please accept my condolences for you and your family.

I am so sorry. May your love and memories carry you through this difficult time. ((((hugs))))

We are so sorry for your loss. May her memory be a blessing.

My sincere sympathy Jewels. And I'm sorry the last couple of weeks were difficult - for both of you. Be good to yourself and remember she is free and at peace now. I hope tomorrow turns out just like you have planned.

E-hug --- (((jewels)))

So sorry that you had to say goodbye to your mom. I'm glad you had some time with her and your family and hope the memories help to ease your pain. Hugs to you and your family.

No matter how old we you are, you are never ready to lose your mother. I am so sorry.

Heartfelt condolences. Keep the good memories close.

My heartfelt sympathy. May she rest in peace.

Jewels, I’m so sorry about your mother. Celebrate her life today and remember she will always be in your heart. It’s so hard to lose your mother at any age.

I'm so sorry, Jewels. It is so hard to watch as an aging parent creeps toward death. Cherish the good memories you have of your Mom.

Oh God, Jewels. I live in fear of losing my mother. She's 90 and in good health living independetly in Columbus, Ohio. I'm 70 and live a day away from her in Massachussets. I am so sorry for you and your loss. I can't imagine dealing with it.

IDK which is worse, the long goodbye or the sudden loss. Mothers are irreplaceable. It's an empty feeling to be 'orphaned', regardless the age of the 'child'. My condolences.

Before my Mom died of Alzheimer's, she asked me to pray that she would die soon as, obviously, she was close to the end. I prayed she would die and, strangely enough, although I was missing her I had comfort in knowing

she wanted to go. Now my husband is doing the same thing, He's 88, has Alzheimer's, and often mentions he wants to go. When the hard days come, when you feel so low and sad, let it all out in tears or think about the good times and cherish them. Grief is difficult but it's normal to feel that longing. I pray at those times and always feel a bit better. God bless.

I am sorry for your loss. My MIL had dementia the last few years before she died. It is hard on everyone.

I'm so very sorry for your, and your family's loss.

My condolences. Losing a parent is not easy. I am happy for you that despite her dementia she remembered you and that you all had a family luncheon together before she passed.

My mom suffered from dementia as well for a few years before she passed. We think mild brain trauma from a car crash in 2019 accelerated it, but there was/is no way to be sure. That's so hard - to remember how sharp and organized she once was and that loss of her brilliance and understanding in her final years.

It's so true that grief and regret can wash over one without warning. It's perfectly normal of course.

I’m so sorry. Hugs to you.

I’m so sorry for your loss 😢

So sorry for your and your family's loss.

My condolences on the loss of your mother. May your good memories sustain you in the coming days.

so very sorry for your loss. may your memories be comforting.

I am so sorry for your loss and grief.

I have to quote JuoiDupi; she nailed it with ”…. No one is ever really old enough to lose their mother...”

Wishing you and your family comfort.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathy for you and your family. 🙏🙏🙏🌹

Thanks everyone, all of your thoughts and prayers really mean a lot. We had my moms service on Saturday and it really went great. My sister welcomed everyone , I did the Eulogy, my dds read a poem titled " Wonder Grandmother", my sil sang Amazing Grace and had everyone in tears, but it was beautiful. Three of my wonderful gfs supplied and kept an eye on all the food.

It was really nice visiting with everyone and even though my stepdad only wanted immediate family, I knew this was not what my mom would have wanted. In the end he even enjoyed talking with everyone too. I didn't know if I would be able to do the Eulogy, but I buckled down and wrote it and I made it thru with only a few tears.

I am just seeing this now. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope in time, the painful memories fade and the happy ones bring comfort to you and your family
