I wasn't going to post this. Because i dont like things like this. But i have been sharing about it for the two months my mom was ill. She passed away Saturday very peacefully i was with her. Not a peaceful day with family but mom peaceful none the less and thats all that matters. I want to thank everyone who supported me with this and let me talk over and over about it and listened while i complained and cryed and paniced. So thank you Ill never forget it

Sorry for your loss and all the nasties you've had with the family kerry. Thankyou for sharing your experience and being so open and transparent. I was there the night before last while you shared your heart and experience with kis. My Swedeish freind sat beside me and wept while watching you two share. She was quite moved. Her mom had just died and she was spending the night with us. She couldn't sleep and got up just when you came on kerry. Your sharing helped her so much! Thanks for being a part of this community! She sends you hugs. I'm glad you were there for your mom kerry.
I know this has been so trying for you, but you did it. You sacrificed a lot for your Mom, and I'm sure she knew it. I hope you both will find peace now.

I am here for you too,,,,((((((((((((kerry,kids))))))))))
You are a Good Daughter and your mom knows that! All the caring you did for her was a very LOVING thing.
I got a tip for you as far as the hugging,,,hope you get it..... If you try to have something in each hand then people will have problems hugging you or visa versa. Like keep a drink/cup in one and something in the other or some flowers in one and a brochure in the other. Even if you have something in one hand, maybe a half hug will do. Just a tip to help you cope with the hugs that make you feel uncomfortable. You need to take care of you now..,whatever it takes....
My heart and my sympathy goes out for you now. cdb
very sorry for your loss. I know you did the best for your mother and she knows it as well. And when you meet again someday in HP's presence she will let you know just how much she appreciated what you have done for her. Keep the peace in your heart as well as her memory. They will carry you through the days to come.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your girls. I am glad I was here this morning when you shared and I am happy you posted. I did not want to post for you but I thought everyone would want to know so you could know how much you are loved and supported here. Once you get through this week, it's time for you my dear. Time to take care of you and your girls. Love and nourish you. You were a wonderful daughter, and I, too like many others, feel your Mom appreciated all you did (even if she did not articulate that to you).
Please keep coming,
Love you, Maria

Kerry- I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers. Please remember that we are here for you and we love you dearly. Take care and be good to yourself! Love and hugs, Cara ("cabecka")
I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. With time your pain will ease and you can look back and be proud of all you accomplished in your mother's last few weeks. Things you were so frightened of doing you did anyway. That means something. You did good. You didn't walk away. Take comfort in knowing your mom's pain is over. Acknowledge your own pain, it is real. Remember, you are loved.
Dear Kerry, I am so sorry to hear your news - but be comforted in the knowledge that you are a good daughter. You cared. I will be thinking of you, especially in the days to come.
