I've been trying to write this post for days and could not bring myself to do it.
The pain is still too great.
My wonderful mom passed away last week. If you've been reading my blog awhile you probably have seen that so much of my style and love of vintage things has come from my mom. I really would love to tell you more about how wonderful she was but I'm not ready to just yet...the pain is so strong. It's times like these that I'm glad my father has taught me to see the postive in things. I'm thankful that my mom had a 86 years here, that she and my dad had 65 years being married and that she knew she was loved and that she didn't have to suffer too much at the end!

Wow- I had to look twice, my Mom also passed away last week. I posted a blog entry about it as well and it actually eased a little bit of my pain for a split second. My heart is with you as I truly feel your pain.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, Cindy. I'm glad you're keeping good thoughts.
There are no words, only compassion and heartfelt feelings. I lost my wonderful father Jan of this year. I pray you find peace in your memories then soon laughter and smiles with the memories.
I'm so sorry, Cindy. Take the time you need!
I so feel your pain. My 93 year old Grandma...my favorite grandma, passed away March 12, so it is still new. Mom asked me, our of her five girls to give the eulogy and I didn't think I could do it, but I was able and glad that I could share with the people there how special she was and what I learned from her. I am so sorry for your loss. Terry

How blessed we have been to have parents that love us and that their lives cause us to miss them so-
Dear Cindy,
My heart is heavy for you and your father during these difficult days. May the Lord comfort you and hold you and may you find peace knowing your mother is always with you now.

Cindy, so sorry about your loss.

Cindy - sorry for the delayed comment - just checked in after being away several days. I am terribly sorry for your loss. I am very, very close to my parents as well, so my heart really is crying for you. She must have very proud to have you as her daughter. Really don't know what to say, typing it just seems so unpersonal. My love to you, your father and all your family. With love, Esther
So sorry for your loss. I lost my mom when I was 27. My prayers are with you.

Cindy -
I am so very sorry. I lost my mom in September and still there are many days I cry. Life is just so different, and I miss her SO much. Hold on to the memories and all the happy times. Be there for your dad. As sad as I have been, I cannot imagine losing my partner.
Give yourself time to grieve. Each person is different. We made it through the first Thanksgiving, Christmas, her birthday (Feb.), etc. Mother's Day will be hard. My heart goes out to you. It is so very hard. I will keep you in my prayers.

Oh Cindy, my heart goes out to you! I lost my Mom a year ago January, and my Dad just two months ago -- and while they lived good and long lives, I miss them terribly.
You will find yourself saying "I have to ask Mom," or "I have to show that to her," so very often --- I don't think we ever get used to their being gone.
Hugs -- Cass
A heartfelt hug to you! Your mom's life has truly touched so many of us through you! Thank you for sharing her love of all things beautiful! Her memory will live on in the inspiration you share with all of us!
Oh Cindy, my heart is hurting for you. I lost my mom 13 years ago. Right before she passed, she told me to let that part of her that was strong...be strong in me. I didn't think I could at the time...but now I know a part of her lives on in me...and I understand exactly what she meant. Love is coming your way with this email.
Oh dear Cindy..... Tears just filled my eyes when I read about your dear Mom..... your dear Dad must be just lost without her.... what a legacy she left you and Lauren....My hear is with you and yours....
Love and hugs
Linda
HUGE hug!!!
I am so, so sorry!!!
Cindy, I'm so so sorry!! How great that she gave you so many great memories!
Dearest Cindy, I'm so sorry for your loss! I can't even imagine losing my mother. I will be praying and thinking of you this week. I know this must be so painful.
Your mother must have been so pleased by your love of beautiful things. I'm glad you have that heritage from her.
Lovingly,
Donna @ Comin' Home
Oh Cindy, I saw this news on your Facebook page, and I am so very sorry! She sounds like such a wonderful woman, and you are right to focus on the positive. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Cindy, I'm so sorry to hear about your precious Mom. It's obvious that she was a wonderful Mom because you are such a reflection of her. You don't know me, of course, but you seem like a friend because of your beautiful blog. I'm praying for comfort for you during this season of your life.
Jeanne
Bless you! Huge ((hugs)) to you!
Cindy, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother when she was only 52; it hurts no matter when it happens. Hang on to all those wonderful memories, sweetie. I'll be praying for you and your family. Hang in there!!
Cindy,
I love the treasures your mother gave you. May the memories they hold comfort you.
Your Friend,
Deborah
I am so sorry Cindy, to hear about your Mother. Sounds like she was a wonderful Mother who loved you very much. You have so many wonderful memories to look back upon. God Bless YOU!
I'm so sorry for your loss, Cindy. We only get one mommy, but her legacy lives on in you and your children. I'm sending all good thoughts your way.
I am SO sorry for your loss, Cindy. May you find some sense of comfort in your family, friends, and God.
I am so sorry Cindy. I know from your prior posts that you had a wonderful loving relationship with your Mom.
Prayers to your entire family.
Oh Cindy
I was very sad to read this post. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family
((hugs)) Rhondi
I am so very sorry on the loss of your mom. May God's angels surround you and your family and envelop you in their love and peace.

Cindy I was away last week and just saw an updated post on your mom. I wanted to send you my sympathies on losing your mom. So sorry for you and your dad, xxoo.
Oh Cindy - I am so sorry. I lost my Mom 5 years ago and nothing replaces her... but it is easier to think about the wonderful past memories now without breaking into tears. I still talk to her often..knowing that she hears me.
Have not told too many people this - but a few days after my Mom passed, I walked into the bathroom and I could smell her perfume. Thought I was nuts - so I drug my husband in and he confirmed it. (((Hugs)))
Cindy, I've been buried in work and am just now catching up on my blog reading. I am so very sorry for your loss. We only get one mother, and having lost my own mother I understand the pain you are now feeling. Like you I have focused on how lucky I was to have my mother for as long as I did and to cherish her love for all things beautiful which she passed along to me. Truly your mother must have been a wonderful woman to have created a daughter like you.
Dear Cindy, You and your wonderful Dad are in my thoughts and prayers. Joyce
My heart goes out to you and your father. My thoughts are with you.
((((HUGS))))
Take care,
Lisa
Cindy, you've been blessed......what a true blessing to have such a wonderful relationship with your mother. One who hasn't lost a mother can't even begin to imagine the pain and feelings of loss that one goes through in the aftermath of it all. I lost my mom at the young age of 64 when I was only in my early twenties. Looking back I was so unprepared for it. Yet, really, we're all unprepared for it, no matter the age. Just know that the devastation does indeed subside, all in good time. Hold onto those precious memories and know that she will ALWAYS be with you! May time heal your heart,
Blessings,
Kathleen
I just came upon your blog, and I'm so sorry for your loss. May you feel God's comfort in the coming months as you try to adjust to a world that seems just a little more empty these days.
My heart goes out to you Cindy.
My parents are the same age.
Your mother spirit will live on forever in you and your family.
God Bless you and I will be praying without ceasing for the peace that passes understanding for you, your dad and your family.
Sincerely,
Linda
Oh, Cindy ... I'm so deeply sorry about your loss.
I will say a prayer for your mom and the loved ones who are mourning her. *hugs*
Just read your post and I am so deeply sorry to hear your Mom passed away. My parents are in their 80's and have been married for 65 years, and I count myself so blessed that they are still in my life! Please give your Dad my deepest sympathy. You and your wonderful children are a living tribute to your Mom, and I know she must have been so proud of you all. I know I'm a stranger to you, but I feel I know you from reading your blog, so I just had to send my cyber thoughts to you. May God strengthen you and your Dad throughout this difficult time, and may you find comfort in the wonderful memories of a loving Mom.
Cindy my heart goes out to you... I was in tears reading your recent posts. I know how hard it is to loose your Mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. xx Kirsty
So very sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine. my thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Oh Cindy -- I've just been catching up. I'm so sorry. Losing your mother is terribly hard -- a friend of mine said to me at my mother's funeral that when you lose your mom you lose your very first "best friend". So true. May God bless you with peace.
My heart aches for you, your dad, and all who loved your mom, Cindy! What a blessing to have lived and loved so long though!
I'm so sorry for your loss, but I know you must feel strength from all the prayers of the many friends you've made in the blogosphere - like me.
Hugs and prayers,
Liz @ the Brambleberry Cottage
