Like others who have posted comments I too lost my dad 6 years ago to cancer. I appreciate the support and prayers that you gave to me at that time and will most certainly return the favor for you and your family. I am happy to hear that you had a chance to say goodbye to her and to be by her side to comfort. That closure is very important to her (and will be for you). Let me know if there is more I can do for you. Jon- So sorry to hear of this change to your life and the difficulty which comes with it.

I lost my mom last year, and I wanted you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I am rarely compelled to comment, but I feel the need to tell you that your faith is your strength. I was so afraid of my mother's death. She had always been such a strong influence in my life. I felt privileged to be with her at her death. I am grateful that I could say, "Mom, go. You have loved us so, and we are grateful for your time with us. But you have been in pain; go and be at peace." She would not go until my Dad said similar words to her. I was most worried for him, her partner of 55 years. He held out the longest for her recovery. When he finally told her it was OK to go, her spirit left in a couple of hours. It pains me to write this, but I hope it helps you. I am grateful that you have chosen to share your spirit with people in the wilderness of the internet. May you find peace and strength in your time of need. Jon,

My dad died in 1991 of bone cancer, my mom followed him six years later from complications of a stroke. It was heartbreaking, but I also sensed something of the Absolute. An experience that is still with me today. My prayers are with your mom, your family and you. I wish you strength, courage and support from each other in this difficult time that all of us will have to face some day. You are not alone.

Thank you. Mia, Thank you. In spite of this pain, I'm able to remember that it's the most natural thing in the world. Thanks for your reminders about the bonds of humanity. Mark, Good to hear from you, brother. I think I am experiencing some of that peace of acceptance. And I do know that it is time. Tracie, Of course it’s ok! Please do! Thank you.

I lost both of my parents some years ago; I have at least some sense of how you feel. I also respect your privacy and that you have not wanted to bring this to the web. I admire that you have. It was the hardest when I lost my mother. We were close, and when my mom died, it was sudden and unexpected. Yet, somehow I knew it was her time. It didn't stop the tears and heartache, but that 'knowing' somehow helped me accept it better. I hope that you and your family, as well as your mom, have some measurement of calm that acceptance can provide. Love, Mark Jon – my thoughts and prayers are with you.

My family experienced this very same series of events last year with my father, who suffered and fought the fight against cancer. The emotional roller caoster is something we will never forget and changed each of forever. I am praying for You and your family. May God Bless, comfort and keep each of you in unique way. My heart is aching for you this moment. You are not alone, you are experiencing the universal human tie that binds each of us that has ever loved another. Peace and Strenght be with you.
