Sending positive vibes your way. Hang in there!
My condolences to you and to all who loved your mom. May she rest in peace.
I can’t imagine how hard this must be for you and your family.
My thoughts are with you, and all the dopers who have recently suffered such losses.
My condolences to all you guys who have lost parents recently (or any loved ones). I think the measure of grief we have when someone we love dies is directly proportional to the hole they leave in our lives; if your grief is great, there may be some consolation in realizing you spent lots of time with them and appreciated them while they were alive and with you.
My sympathy and good wishes go to you. I lost my mother earlier this month; fortunately, we did not have to make the awful choice you did. On the other hand, you had the opportunity to face the facts and come to the conclusion on your own; we have to do what we can to accept what nature foisted on us. Either way, this is hard. This is life. Sometimes life isn’t fun.
To Improv Geek and everyone else who’s lost a parent (or anyone else they have loved), my deepest sympathies. It’s a painful time. My Mother died in 1999 and, thought it does get easier, there are still times I cry - no matter what age we are, there are simply times when a great big hug from your Mom is all that you need.
I had a miscarriage recently and was praying to my Mother to help - unfortunately, once you start down that road, there’s no going back and we lost the baby. We put a small, white flowering plant on her grave in the hopes that she will mind our baby (only a few weeks old really - not even old enough to know the sex). I like to think that she will.
Thank you all, jackelope and jillelope hit the road this morning heading back to their home. They should arrive tomorrow. Almost all the other family left as well. My dad has his sister, his mother-in-law, and myself all staying with him. I’ve actually been displaced for his sister, viva la couch!
We’re hanging in there. It’s going to be rocky for a while, but thank you all for your sentiments.

Best wishes to your and the rest of your family, bro.
