Very sorry to read of the loss of your mother. There are few things that impact our lives as deeply as the death of a parent. I pray that the love from your family and friends can help you to cope during this difficult period. Know also that our loving Creator promises us that there will soon be a time when these moments will no longer exist. Revelation 21:3,4 gives us a solid promise for the future, may you draw comfort from it. Deepest Sympathy
