Just wanted to let my forum family know that my mom has died this morning. She has had Alzheimers and was in a nursing home for a year. We are sad, but glad her ordeal is over.
I pray I can be of some use during the next few days of family, viewing, and funeral.
I can't stand everyone saying "she is in a better place, seeing all her loved ones, w/ Jesus, etc etc". Hope I know when to speak and when to keep silent.
Thank you all for your prayers and love at this time!

Dear Gena,
My deepest Sympathy for the loss of your Mother. I know of what you are saying in regards to the expected responses from Family members, forgive them, for they know not what they say.
Also, just a suggestion, if I may, perhaps you might respond by saying: It's nice to know that eventually, ALL of us will be with her, as God has planned and according to his Will, because he Loves her, just like he Loves ALL of us.
Sorry, if thats not what you wanted to hear, but sometimes when a Loved one dies and we attend their Funeral, others may say things we don't want to hear.
May the peace of God that excels all thought, guard your heart and mind during this Sad time.
In Gods Love, Samson.
