My mum recently died

[Marvelloustime]

Thank you so much for all your kind messages and prayers regarding my mum passing away on October 6th. It is very much appreciated. We're all travelling through this life together, and reaching out and helping each other during the difficult times helps get us through. And with the Lord's help, guidance and love, we will all make it. The best is definitely ahead of us all! God Bless and long live all our friendships together.
Becky.

My prayers for you and your family, and my condolences. Grief is a process, and it takes time. My father died almost six months ago, and I am still having a rough time of it. You have suffered a big loss - allow yourself time to mourn. I pray that God will comfort you in this time of distress and surround you with caring and supportive people.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve also lost both parents, and it hurts a lot. People say things about closure and time heals and everything and that it gets easier but it sure didn’t feel like it for me at the time. My worst time came about 2-3 months after my dad (2nd parent) died. Grief isn’t like some upward curve where every day gets better than the last. It’s a bit more like waves of the ocean. There are good days and bad days.

Grief is a process and it’s longer for some than others. Have you tried support groups or counselling? They can be really helpful whether in person or online.

It’s hard and it’ll be hard for a while, but I promise it does get easier.

She is also my second parent to pass. I didn't realize just how much harder the second one leaving is, compared to the first one.I know there's others here who have lost a loved one. You are also in my prayers and my heart goes out to you, as the pain is terrible. Jesus is with us though.Becky.X

It is entirely about your relationship with each person. My wife grieved over her father, and when her mother passed, it had little impact. I already guessed that her mothers passing would not be a big deal. She was not close with her. But dad was a sweetheart.

When my dad died from natural causes, it had no effect on me at all. He was a small plane pilot who flew "by the seat of his pants" so I expected a call regarding his accidental death for years. I was fully prepared. My brothers suicide was a big deal though. I felt bad I had not had a closer relationship with him and couldn't offer support in his anguish.

My sadness is shared with you over the loss of your mom. I'm happy to know that she was a Christian. You must have had some great times together!...She was sad to have to leave her family, yet couldn't stop the peace and love that was taking over her as she went to meet the Lord and Savior!

Please, just lean on Him and us. You have friends here that
want to talk to you and see you here tomorrow!
Hugs are coming your way. Praying for you to get stronger and realize that your mom/dad will someday greet you when it is your time to go to heaven. She would not want you to get there before you have lived your life to the full here with your husband.

Thank you Rebecca and Bless you for seeking out support and assurance from your fellow Christians. God wants you to live and you honor your mother by continuing on. If you would not take a certain action in your mother's presence how much more so in her absence! I pray for strength and endurance for you to stay strong my sister and beloved of Christ. You're not alone in suffering although your suffering is your own (I know this well). However, by the grace of God you will get through this. I pray for healing of this loss and void in your heart, that the Lord bind you up and hold you during this time of grief. I love you and God loves you!

You're right, it's been two months since mine has gone and it's hit me harder now than what it did when it first happened.

My sadness is shared with you over the loss of your mom. I'm happy to know that she was a Christian. You must have had some great times together! My dad died a few years ago. I was in the room and noticed him first. He had such a smile that I've never seen on anyone! He had gone home to see Jesus Christ, and the joy was all over his face! Maybe it would help you if you think of your mom in that type of way. She was sad to have to leave her family, yet couldn't stop the
peace and love that was taking over her as she went to meet the Lord and Savior!

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, but comforting for you to know that your dad was going to be with Jesus and he knew he was. My mum also knew she was going to be with him, and that must be a wonderful feeling for them that are about to leave. X
