I need strength...

xfatchik · 12-31-2006, 12:58 AM

I have some very tragic and horrible news to report...

My best friend in the whole wide world passed away last night. She meant more to me than anyone could ever imagine. My life will not be the same without her. My mom, Karen, passed away last night a few minutes after
7pm. Why did she leave me? Why when I needed her the most? I have to be strong right now for my son and my 85 year old Grandma that was in town visiting. I need to mourn but have to be the rock. I want so bad to scream at the top of my lungs. Mom, I love you sooooooo much!!!!! Please pray that I will make it through this. This is the absolute worst thing I've ever had to deal with and I need you all more than ever now.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I don't know what to say during times like these. We must believe there is reason even though we cannot always understand the why. It is perhaps the hardest thing to ever accept, but you will in time, and be stronger because of it. Be strong for yourself and those that depend on you. It may not feel like it right now, but life will move on.

My deepest condolences and prayers are with you in your time of loss.

Even if you feel lost now, know that you are loved SO much, and that your mom and friend will always be there for you and hear you from their spirit plane.

You're an exceptional woman, and I wish you strength and comfort in this time - you are not alone.
