No matter how young or old, we feel this loss forever.
Once quality of life is gone, we know but never anticipate the hurt and emotions that follow, my thoughts are with you, and the whole family as Mom Lily will be missed.
As they say, loss of an elder is like losing a library, I'm sure you have all learned valuable lessons from Mom that will be passed down.
How very true Joan, that's why it's so good to talk and store all those memories here on Hive where it will be available for the generations that follow!
Will be thinking of you tomorrow, loss is something we carry for the rest of our days.
Sharing what we have learned hopefully helps future generation avoid some of our mistakes.
