Well.....I am now head of my clan

Gary,
Sorry to hear it. I am glad she went easy.
I pray peace and comfort for you and yours, my friend. We are all just sojourners.
 
Sorry to hear of your mother's passing Gary. Prayers sent that you and your family will find peace and comfort when the numbness wears off.

Believe me it was blessing that she passed peacefully in her sleep.

God Bless.

So sorry from the bottom of my heart. Many of us have had to deal with the loss(es) of our parents, but that doesn't help you any. Take your time with your thoughts and we'll all do the praying for you/with you.
Again, so sorry.

Condolences.

My Dad called me earlier today, his big sister, my aunt, passed away early this morning.

Dad, who is almost 90, is battling cancer. When he goes, I am the oldest in our immediate family. I remember the feeling of my mortality when his father passed away, the last of my grandparents, and realized that I was just that much closer to the grave myself.
 
My Dad has been gone nearly twenty years now, and my Mom six. I still think of them both almost every day. It’s a rare day that I don’t. I know what you mean by “numb.” I too offer my sympathy in light of the passing of your Mother.
 
Very sorry for your loss. Both of my parents passed at relatively young ages, my Mother nine years later than my Father. Losing parents in hard, no matter your age, nor their age. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers as you work through this.
 
Sorry for your loss. One of the terrible things we all must share as human beings. Odd to realize/feel you're an orphan at this age.


When my father passed I was struck by the full weight of it - no matter how diminished or frail he was, he was still the head of the family. As the eldest in line, the weight of inheriting that position was crushing, psychologically.


Give thanks for the time you had and her peaceful passing. Blessings on you and yours.
 
I did not give you a like, because

I know what it is like to have your mother die in your arms
and it is no where near a like.

Now that you are on top of the ladder, you will be asked to guide the family
and add wisdom to their questions and keep them safe.

I am very sorry for your loss and hope the pain will fade from your heart
and the joy of life...........
will continue.
 
My condolences to your family, Gary...From experience I can tell you the chief benefit from being the oldest in the family is that you lived long enough to see it...RIP to your Mom...:(...Ben
