I had to go to a funeral home last night. One thing you might not know about me is.......I would not want to be at my own funeral let alone someone else's. A very dear friend of mine's mother died. She's been a friend of mine for more years than I can count. If I hadn't talked to her in a year, and she needed me, I'd be there. That's all there is to that. Her mothers death wasn't really sudden. She was in a nursing home (mercifully, she was only in there for 1 month) and contracted some virus that was going around. I know, as my friend said to everyone "She's in a better place now". and that's so true but so help me God, no matter how much it may have "been time", its hell on earth to lose your mother. It leaves a big ol' hole in your heart that just doesn't go away and going to the funeral of friends moms,..................reminds you of that hole. I'm so sorry friend.
I don't think one is EVER "ready" to lose their Mom.. no matter what age. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with..
