(1,508 posts)139. My deepest sympathy
for the loss of your mother. I can't say I know how you feel, but I do know how it feels to lose a mother. My mom died almost 4 years ago, she was 91 also. There is nothing I can say to make you feel anything other than what you are feeling at this moment, however; I can tell you that slowly you begin to realize that we will all pass away, and hopefully there will be someone to feel about us the way you and I feel about our loving mothers. Take care of yourself, your family and friends, and remember the good times you had with your mom, that helps me when I start to miss my mother's presence.
