Our dearest STARWISE is very nervous, very blue, and has a pit in her stomach. Her cherished Mom, Jennie, age 93, is very ill and STARWISE will be traveling tomorrow to be with her at her bedside with her family members.
STARWISE wants you all to know how very grateful she remains for the prayers when her Mom was so sick about a year ago. She truly knows our prayers were an immense impact on Mom's recovery then.
Please pray for our STARWISE, too,....for her calm.... and that her family may have peace and harmony in this time of need.
It is a very sad time but, I’m glad that you were able to be with your Mom at her passing into Everlasting Life and I’m sure that she is glad that you were there as well.
You will see each other again. God Bless.
Dear Star, my heart is so with you..
Tears are streaming down my face.
I remembered the loss of my own dear Mom almost 30 years ago and the loss of a sister just this past year.
You do pray for them to pass from pain into bliss...but as time passes you will remember with gratitude and joy ever second that you were there to hold hands and for ever extra time you got to say “ I love you”.
Child birth is hard on the Mom but it is also hard on the infant...Being birthed into eternity is sometimes painful too.
I wouldn’t trade the time I spent bathing Mom, spooning ice chips even cleaning her bottom for anything. God gave me the opportunity to give back in love what Mom did for me in love.
You never recover from losing your Mom...in time the ache of those final weeks will fade and happy memories will supplant them. One day every tear will be wiped away.
Your Mom is just fine.. She rests in God’s hand.
Hug’s for your weeping.

Well...sorry that didn’t work like it was supposed to. Anyway...you know I meant the words.
********************************
I'm so glad that you were there for your mother when she passed on. I can only imagine how very much it must have meant to her to have you close at such a time, but I believe I can guess how much it meant to you. Bless you, FRiend.
We will continue our Prayers for you STARWISE and thank you for your kind thoughts.
I am not an overly emotional woman, but your words left me sobbing. I lost my mother in 2007. God bless and keep you. Thank you for your glorious witness.
Your word tells us, “Yea though I walk thru the valley of death I will fear no evil for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff do comfort me”.. comes to mind as I read these words from Starwise. Thank you for sustaining Star, just as we asked that you would, and thank you for your presence as family shared and endured these final steps home with their Mother. Thank you that you took the “sting” of death that we might mourn with Star, in your love, for this great loss..... and trust your hand of comfort and love will sustain and keep Star thru these days , weeks, and months ahead. In Christ’s name and all for His Glory...Amen.
May Almighty God give you peace in your heart, the warmth of good memories, and blessings each day. I ask this in the Name of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.
I am sorry your mom suffered, Starwise. No one knows about helping the dying unless they have experience with it. No one goes through that process with a loved one without learning. That means you never know everything to begin with so everything is not perfect even though you want it to be.
If ever you need to go through it again with a loved one you can get a Christian end of life professional to help advise you as to what is going on and what to do. My sister is one of those. It is worth it.
I’m keeping your Mom, you, and your family in my prayers, tonight.
I pray for His continued Blessings in this difficult time of loss. It's not a forever loss but it still hurts.
Continued prayers for you, STARWISE.
Many of us have lost parents, siblings, spouses. We know exactly the feelings of the moment but we are sustained by the memories, by our faith and by the love of family and friends.
Blessings, etabeta
Your mom was so blessed to have you. Take solace in that she’s in a batter place, a place where you will both be reunited someday when your work is through. May God bless you and give you strength in the days and weeks ahead.
