Long life! My mother died just shy of 91 years. Losing a parent is hard. Even when we expect it, the moment still comes as a shock.
Take care of yourself.
You're in my thoughts.
Sorry to hear this.
Healing vibes on the way to you.
Give thanks for her long life.
May lovely memories replace your grief.
Even though her life was long and the end finally comes we are never ready.
I extend to you and your family my deepest sympathy at this sad time.
Love,

In memory of your mom
My mom passed in 2022 and my cousin gave me the best advice: Grief is like a bitter hard candy lodged in your throat and it will be there a long time unless you accept it and allow yourself to taste it in small increments so it slowly melts. If you don't do that it's going to choke you all at once when you least expect it.
I wish for you that your grief is cathartic and productive and filled with the best memories.
Lost my mom 1 1/2 yrs ago. We can be thankful they made it to their 90's, mine was 96 and mostly healthy.
a lot.
I hope that you find comfort in the happy memories that she left behind.
❤️
to you, the family and all who knew and loved her. May your good memories always comfort you .
and free of suffering. Condolences
My sincere condolences to you and your family.
I hope you feel better soon.
I know from experience how difficult it is to lose your mother. In my case, it's been a process that is still unfolding three years later. But I have found comfort in the Jewish saying "May their memory be a blessing", although I'm not Jewish. At first that didn't comfort me at all, but it does now. So that's progress? Sending good thoughts your way, my friend.
I hope you’re okay, and that you’re finding peace and consolation. And if you don’t feel it now, it WILL eventually come to you. Having lost both my parents, that’s one big thing I learned.
Grieving is hard work. Take good care of yourself.
Hold on tight to loved ones and precious memories.
I still miss mother. It's been 28yrs, the same yr as Princess Diana. I never realized how much I still need her until I lost her. 
R-I-P 🙏
