Deepest condolences. Losing your Mom is very hard. At first, you feel like your underwater or slogging through mud. Eventually, you will get moments where it's not as bad and, one day, you'll be able to pull your self out. I lost my Mom six years ago Monday. It's gets easier but that hole in your life will always be there. Music helped me. I hope you have something that will help you, too. Blessed Be.

You didn't miss it, luv. It's better to be late than to be never. Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate them more than you know.

Checking in here. I am doing okay. Long story shortened: Mom had a spell (passed out) late on the 29th and was taken to the hospital. On the 30th was diagnosed with a bleeding ulcer and a hyenal (sp) hernia. Was not operated on until the 31st, where she did extremely well. Everything was fine, fine, fine. Medicare wouldn't pay for another night so she was in the process of being discharged on the 1st. I talked to Mom on the 31st a few hours after her operation and even joked that she would do just about anything to not have to hand out Halloween candy and keep it all to herself. She laughed at that. I will keep the memory of her laughter in my soul. My sister was with her the morning of the 1st and stepped out of the room for a minute and when she came back Mom was gone. Nothing could be done to bring her back. The doc and nurses are baffled. I guess her heart just couldn't take it finally. My siblings and I were so excited that she had done so well and was going to go to my sister's house to heal up and recover. We are all stunned.

I want to thank you all for your kind words, thoughts, prayers. I am going to need them. This is so, so hard. None of us kids can believe what happened. Mom wasn't in the greatest of health, but she was a strong woman. She raised 5 kids altogether and after Dad left her she raised my brother and I on her own. She was one of those people that you love as soon as you meet them. Always had a kind word (mostly) for everyone. She went thru alot of heartache in her life, but never gave up (she almost did, but that's another story). All of us kids are scattered across the country so we can't get down to Texas to help my sister. But, Mom is already cremated and at some point we are to all go to Pennylvania to lay her ashes at the cemetary next to her Mom and Dad.

I ask all of you to go to your loved ones and hug them and tell them that you love them. Let them know. Let them know.

I think it's kind and smart of you all to wait until you can be together instead of trying to rush the process. Bless you all!

My Mom, Mary Louise Schoen (McMillen/Roberts) passed away this morning. I wanted to let my SKMB friends know why I wouldn't be on here for the next few days. She was a good woman and she was loved by so many. I miss her so much.
I'm terribly sorry i've havent seen this before. What can i say!?? I send thoughts and hugs to you and your family. It is hoorible to lose someone so close. I lost my mom this february so i know i little bit about it. I can only say that i'm here, if needed, and to take the time you need. :biglove:
