26. I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother, kimbutgar

Sat May 21, 2016, 10:24 PM

May 2016

It was fortunate you were able to be with her, and I'm sure that gave her great comfort.

My mom passed away in October of 2014, and although we had a difficult relationship, I loved her and miss her every day.

Like you, I had a strange occurrence around the time of my mom's death. The phone rang in the middle of the night soon after she passed, and the caller ID displayed her name and phone number. It was chilling, and I was unable to bring myself to answer the phone. It was not possible that anyone was calling from her home as she had been in a nursing home for three years and no one had a key to her house but me.

Not sure what to make of it. I'd like to think there are comforting messages from beyond.

Wishing you peace and fond memories in the days to come.
