9 PM my mom passed away. By the time she was there, she was no longer awake, and her breathing was less and less. We our family watched her go, peacefully in her last moments. Those little breaths just became less and less. I already miss her face, bald and everything. We will never get to see that again. Huh... Life is going to be lonely without ya mom.

I am so sorry for your loss. You are in thoughts and wishes.

Like darkness is of light’s existence elsewhere, the love that lived in your mother will live on - in you.

My deepest condolences for your loss; my Grandma passed away a few months ago, and it sucked. :(

Thank you

I am missing her a lot. I feel like I've cried a thousand times, or more times than I've ever cried in my life just from tonight/this morning.

I'm sorry,i know the hurt is just terrible.Both my folks are gone,nothing can ever replace them.
Give yourself plenty of time to grieve.If you need time to yourself,take it.Be kind to yourself.

Today's a rough day. The house is sadly quiet. Looking at pictures of my mom, makes me happy, and really sad.

I hope my mom knew I loved her. We hugged and told each other that we love each other in the beginning of this cancer diagnosis. I didn't tell her in the last 4-5 days she had left, hate it that I didn't but the words just didn't come out... I just tried to do nice things for her, keep a very close eye on her, help her, and be of emotional support ever since the diagnosis though to show her that I love her. She said not that long ago while she was still kind of alert "Thank you honey for all that you are doing for me" as I was helping her be more comfortable. That meant a lot to me. I hope it showed her that I love her and she never forgot.

Spoke with other parent. They assured me mom knew she was loved and that she loved having me in her life. It does bring me much comfort. I am still sad and wish I would have told her again before she began drifting away, but as I go through memories, pictures, and think about it all more, I feel like my mom did feel more loved by me...

She knew that you loved her.Parents know these things without you having to speak it.

Mom's dog still misses mom too. When mom was on her last day, her dog would not leave her lap. She has the saddest look on her face some times. Someone was knocking on the door last night, I could tell her dog thought it might be her. She made the weirdest noises, never heard those sounds from them before, and ran to the door almost like she was going to trip over her own legs.

Pets grieve also.There was the dog in Japan that waited for his master everyday at the train station even though his master had died.Give the little dog a hug.

I pet her dog and told it that they were a good friend and family member to mom, but that she had to go, and will never be coming back.
