Theresa I am so sorry for your loss but I feel your pain.  I lost my Mom, she was 71, from complications due to lung cancer.  She was everything to me and lived only 10 minutes away from me and died suddenly on April 8, 2012, Easter Sunday.  My daughter and myself were holding her hand and her breathing got very shallow and she took her last breath and she was gone. I felt the life get sucked out of her and all that was left was a shell and her spirit quickly had left her body.  It was surreal...I miss her so much, want to call her and hear her voice, feel her touch and it just seems so unfair..

Why did she have to leave us so soon?   I was not ready to not have her in my life anymore...even though I just turned 50, I still cry and miss her so much ... just to feel her comfort and unconditional love... Life is hard!
