It is hard to watch your loved ones slip away and finally to say goodbye. Every person is unique and so is the grieving process that we each go through. If you are so inclined, I would recommend the book "The Cure for Sorrow" by Jan Richardson. It is a collections of blessings. An excerpt from the introduction is below and I have attached a picture with a sample of the books content.

" A blessing does not explain away or loss or justify devastation. It does not make light of grief or provide a simple fix for the rending. It does not compel us to "move on". Instead a blessing meets in our place of deepest loss. In that place, it offers us a glimpse of wholeness and claims that wholeness here and now. A blessing helps us to keep breathing - to abide this moment, and the next moment, and the one after that."

The love that obviously surrounds your Mom will keep her in your families hearts and memories. My Dad passed before my children were born, but I see parts of him(both the good and not so good) in all three.

Our prayers go out to you all during this time.
