My dreary day and saddest news

[mazzarro]

Just got the darkest news of my life - the passing of my mother - she was in her seventies and has been ill for a while. My father passed about two and half years ago and I had been hoping and planning to spend more time with my mother to make up for not doing same with my father in his waning years. It is hard and heavy for me now!

2. Oh how sad

:cry:

Yes, that is dark news. But if she had been ill, she is in a better place now.

So sorry for your loss.

5. I'd like to offer you my condolences.

"Ill for a while" or not, it's never easy to lose a parent or any other loved one.

Not ever.

Take as much healing time as you need, and do not, repeat not, beat yourself up for what you feel you "should have done." I am sure you did what you could, and that's the best any of us can do.

6. I know we can't make it better.

But we can send good thoughts and hugs. I lost my dad several years ago myself.

And don't feel any obligation to feel one way or another, and don't let anyone tell you you are not upset enough or crying too much, or whatever. However you are getting through is what is right for you.

:hug:

10. Sorry to hear that mazzarro. I went through that in March of this year.

My Ma died alone, in her bedroom, 3000 miles away from my brother and me. My Dad died in 2000 and she never was the same after that. I too wanted to spend time with her and take care of her but geography and other things prevented me from doing so. Try not to let the guilt bury you like I let happen.
Its very hard to lose a parent. Especially a mother.
Peace,

11. You can still be with her for awhile.

Just imagine/ask/ see/ feel (whatever works for you) that you're where she is and the strength of your relationship will bring you right there. See yourselves surrounded by gentle, flaming gold. Any movement or change in evergy/ image means that you're both processing. Stay as long as you want. Focus the flame on/between the two of you. Have all the conversations you ever wanted. Just remember to breathe normally. It's truly a peaceful connection. If the energy/ situation settles, you might want to bring up a perfectly formed, comfortably large circle around each of you and sit with whatever comes/ you make out of that.

You'll be able to access this transforming gift of grace for a few days more or less.

I'm glad you reached out to the lounge.

27. My dear Mazzarro. Please accept my deepest, most sincere

28. I am so very, very sorry for your loss.

Someone sent this to me when my mom passed and it really meant a lot. Hopefully, it will bring you some comfort as well.

I AM NOT THERE

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP,
I AM NOT THERE, I DO NOT SLEEP

I AM A THOUSAND WINDS THAT BLOW,

I AM THE DIAMONDS GLINTS ON SNOW,

I AM THE SUNLIGHT ON RIPENED GRAIN,

I AM THE GENTLE AUTUMN RAIN.

WHEN YOU AWAKEN IN THE MORNINGS HUSH
I AM THE SWIFT UPLIFTING RUSH,
OF QUIET BIRDS IN CIRCLED FLIGHT.

I AM THE SOFT STARS THAT SHINE AT NIGHT.

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND CRY,
I AM NOT THERE, I DID NOT DIE.
