I pray wonderful memories ease the grief of your loss. They won't remove it but make dark days bearable.

My heartfelt condolences to you Reginald. It sounds like she slipped away peacefully and that's a blessing.
May you find strength and peace.

Sorry to hear this Reginald, I imagine it is a great relief she is no longer suffering. Sounds like a proud woman that did not deserve to suffer.

Will be thinking of you and your family / friends during this tough period.. sounds like she was proud of the man she raised.

May you have grace at this time of great loss. I lost my mom 2 years about this time and I miss her still - a simple country woman as plain spoken as they come. But everybody that knew her said if you were her friend, you were her friend forever. You'll find yourself thinking, "Well, I'll just call Mom" and realize she's not there. But time will ease the loss and the heartache and refresh the good memories.

Sorry to hear of this. Hope you get through the recovery process with renewed strength, eventually.

I am going through a similar situation, having had my Dad pass a month ago yesterday.

Update, Mom passed 12/24/2017 about 1:00 p.m. I missed being there by about 15 minutes. The nursing home hadn't had time to let me know and the staff was afraid to talk to me when I told them I thought she had gone to her maker. After I assured them I had no fuss, they became sympathetic and explained the time line. I was so grateful her suffering ended that all my stress left me; though, I now have a profound sadness, but I'm relaxed now. Here's to Frances Jackson McDonald, a great mom, world traveler (lived in 5 countries), and world class party giver; love you!

I did this very thing Saturday. I could tell she was stressed by the expression on her face and ragged breathing. You know, her faced eased and she started breathing easier after I told her my goodbyes and that I'd take care of her and return her to her family. I had a feeling this was my last chance to talk to her.

Thanks so much for your prayers and best wishes. I know I'm not the only one who's gone through this and my prayers are with you too.

Truly have a merry Christmas (I will I'm having kids and fiances over for Christmas Dinner) and may your health never flag.

She's in God's care now. May you and your family find peace and strength during this sad time.

So sorry to hear this sad news, no more pain or suffering. It is never easy to lose a loved one.

My condolences.
Accepting the loss of ones parents is never easy.
I had my entire life to prepare for the event yet it seemed like the last days were all crammed together into some kind of sad yet necessary blur.
Time heals as does the knowledge that both she and her family are no longer pained by her suffering.
Again my condolences.
