In reply to the discussion: Not sure where to post this ... my mom just died. [View all]KT2000
(20,577 posts)13. I am so sorry for you
there is some good advice for you on this thread.
What I have seen is that when people are dying, they are half here and half somewhere else. I don't know what the somewhere else is but it seems to be a non-physical state where they are surrounded by the ones they love in life. In that way, you were with her and I am sure it brought her peace. Be kind to yourself like I am sure she would want.
