Thank you. I've not been able to grieve much yet, because I had to call the cops three hours after my mom's burial.
It sounds like the family went into a panic. Are things resolved yet? Sorry you had to be the strong one for everyone else.

Many people have a quiet faith we don't know about, or we don't consider highly spiritual. But Jesus said that if we believe in Him, we are saved. If she was looking forward to seeing Jesus in heaven, then His words would reassure us that she is either on her way, or already there. It's not our decision, but that was the promise.
My mom confidently claimed that, several decades ago, she had heard the audible voice of a GOD. She commonly made this assertion to many people up until the day that she died two weeks ago.

People in my family seemed more focused on money hours after the funeral, intstead of grieving. I was very taken aback. I was alone crying profusely at my mom's grave two hours after she was buried. But when I rejoined the family at a house afterward, money was their prime focus. They really seemed to rush out of that funeral fast. I was left standing alone at my mom's grave, they were so quick.

Vince - this is NOT unusual. In fact, I would say that it is more usual than not. :( Doesn't make it easier to take.

How are you otherwise? :hug:

:clap: Things seem to be finally winding down for me. The calm after the storm, so to speak. Thanks for asking. That's very kind.

Vince, I'm so sorry. Families can be so hurtful even if that is not their intention. I will continue praying for you and your family.
Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers. I'm glad that things finally seem to be winding down a bit. My brother and I just have to go see the attorney this upcoming friday to finalize some stuff with my mom's will.

-Prayers for the meeting today!-
May the attorney keep business level-headed and efficient, may fairness dominate the decisions, may things come to minds at the right times that would help resolve this cleanly and quickly.

May peace rule in hearts and minds and conversations.

Thank you. I have started an investigation with a government organization regarding senior exploitation that my brother enacted on my grandmother.

:blush: Thank you. It's been a month now since my mom passed away.

Vince, I found that the first week, month, and year were the worst. After the first year, then each anniversary of a significant date was that much further in the past. kwim? Doesn't mean that you do miss them less - just that the iron grip that grief seems to have will lessen bit by bit! :hug:

:hug: I think that I've been able to process my mom's death okay. It's just all of the legal property distractions with my brother which are more difficult. I did a good portion of my grieving before my mom passed away, because I was watching her when she was real sick.

My mom passed away a few hours ago. She died when I was holding her hand ten minutes after I had arrived at the hospital. She was breathing very slowly, but then she slowed down and eventually stopped breathing. I thought that she was going to come home that day, but she didn't.

Hello VinceBlaze....
I am very sorry for your loss.

I was also with my Mom when she died in the hospital. It has been 3 years in July. I was also holding her hand.
It is a very precious memory I have...that I will never forget.
I am so thankful that I was there.

I will pray for you, VinceBlaze...
You can count on that.
