Prayers for Mom
 
Guys-

This time, I need to ask for some thoughts and prayers. I lost my Mom today at 3:30 after a seven month battle with lung cancer. I am grateful to have been there when she passed on, but I am really hurting tonight. Her name was Audrey, and she raised two boys as a single Mom and I think she did a pretty great job.

I would appreciate it if you said one for her tonight.

Thanks S-B, Hoop

hooper
 
I also lost my mom to cancer and i can relate to your
Loss and feel so sorry for you and your family
in this time of great sadness.

It will take time to feel better...
and as memories resurface of things she did for you
or things she said to you....

talk to the sky as if she ...is cheering you on...
to have strength and the wisdom ....
as it really helps soothe your heart.

Hi Hooper! Just got in from a couple days away. My condolences to you and your brother for your tremendous loss. My prayers are sent. May your Mom rest in peace.

Hooper 11-03-2007 08:49 AM

Guys, I really want you to all know how much it means that you have taken a minute to read my post and drop me a few kind words. I felt funny doing it, but sometimes when you let people know what is going on in your life you are amazed with the responses as I have been. I guess that is why S-B.Com is at the top of my favorites list!

Mom's service is on Wednesday night and I really want to express what she has meant to me at that time, trouble being, I don't know if I can hold it together as I verbalize that feeling. Have any of you been through this and how did you manage to speak so personally when your emotions were so strong?

JohnR 11-03-2007 12:18 PM

Hoop! I just saw this and I am so sorry for your loss. Kudos to your mom for singly raising great kids and remember with pride that she did that. You have my family's Thoughts and Prayers

I debated if I wanted to speak at my Dad's funeral and was asked to do so. I tortured myself a little on whether I should and what to say. I thought and thought and thought and then decided I would day something light and meaningful. When my time came to say what I wanted to say I did so with great difficulty and somehow, for the most part, managed to get through it though I broke down several times. My Uncle, ever the wise man of the family, managed not to struggle outwardly as he spoke.

Do what you have to do and don't worry about it. Your friends and family will support you AS/IF you struggle and they will support you if you don't. Do what YOU need to do, sounds like she would be proud either way.
