I got THAT call earlier this spring to tell me that my mother was gone. Healthy one week and gone the next. I was not prepared. Not really. I mean, I had my faith but no immediate answers as to "why" this had happened. And it almost wasn't important to know why. At least not for the first few days of grieving. <br /><br />And I know what you mean about hurting for those you love. My husband's mother had been gone for almost 19 years, so my Mom had also been his Mom. The poor guy grieved silently while trying to hold me together, but I could tell he was hurting. Not only did he feel for me, but for the woman who had been his Mom almost as long as his biological one. <br /><br />I'll keep you in my prayers and that either she'll be blessed with recovery, or that you'll have the peace that comes through faith in a higher purpose. Take heart! And congratulations again on your book coming out. Perhaps having something to look forward to will actually help right now in keeping you from worrying 100 percent of the time. :) Or at least one can hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
