I questioned my faith a million times since I’ve been to these boards and eventually I gave in to logic that a God does not exist. My mother is dying. She was a good woman who made everyone around her feel special. She was an excellent mother.
I believe she will be in heaven when she passes. I found my faith again.
I was with my mother during her entire mortal illness, and held her hand while she died. It was very difficult. That was 22 years ago. I’d like to tell you ‘you’ll get over it’, but you won’t. However, it will get easier to bear as time passes.
Losing a mom has to be one of the hardest things ever. Sleeps With Butterflies is right, she may feel the need to talk, so try to spend as much time with her as you can. I don’t know what her illness is, but touching her gently is very important. People who are facing death are so alone that my instinct tells me that touch from loved ones is very important. Hold her hand, hold her in your arms if it doesn’t cause her pain. Even if she’s unconscious, be sure to touch her.
I wish you and your loved ones strength in the days ahead.
