***Fellow Zoners- Please send some Love to Mom and I***

Forums:

Have barely been posting 

but love so many friends on here and am going through probably the hardest thing I’m going to face 

My Mom found out she has cancer last week 

advanced, in her liver, stomach and was assigned to hospice 

my friend had to call me in Greece and tell me the horrible news 

first few days, utter shock and jet lag 

now, have not gone to work at all and staying at home 24/7 with her and she is quickly making her transition 

but in her eyes, not fast enough. Some of you know her- lover of her flower and veggie garden, any animal on the planet and most of all - my best friend. Being an only child and my dad long gone 

this is really rough - trying to accept it, stay strong, keep the love overflowing around her

I really just want to see it like Ram Dass has described passing 

its like you are taking off a tight shoe that doesn’t fit or leaving behind a broke down automobile that doesn’t run anymore 

for a lighter existence 

I love you guys, you know who you are ((((((peace)))))

 

Oh no. So sorry to hear.  Be strong and be love.

Definitely sending {{{vibes}}} your way!

Ro, love and strength to you in this difficult time.

So sorry to hear about your mom Ro. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. I hope that your mom's transition is as peaceful as possible. I'm sure it's comforting to her just to know you're there.

I lost my mom in November, so I know just how you feel. They're our first & most cherished love.

Such a sad thing, but there is a time and place for everything under the sun.

Focus on the positives, keep your head high and celebrate your immense luck at having such a great relationship.

Your strength, calm & joy will make your mothers transition a smoother one.

Stay strong Kate.

Very sorry

Peace and strength

I spoke w/ Roshambo last night. She is staying with her mom at her mom's home, and hospice staff visits daily to help with medications and care.

Ro is on the night shift. Friends have been delivering food, but naturally this is a tiring and no-appetite process. 

Let's all send out another round of virtual hugs and good wishes as she goes through this difficult time. 

Please keep her in your thoughts.

 

 

((((((Kate's Mom & Kate)))))))

If you need anything..... just call :(

Our hearts go out to you and your Mom, Ro. All the best in this most difficult of times, hope she is comfortable.

So sorry to hear that Ro...much love and light to you and mom.

Cant imagine what you’re going through.

(((peaceful transition)))

Lots of love to Kate and Mom

xoxo

I am grateful for all your support...

I sat up at 3am and saw Mom take her last breath.

She has crossed over and I’m happy for her.

Woke my uncle up and we have been sitting with her...

He said she is going to get run over at the Rainbow Bridge!

We had so many special pets throughout my life!

(((((peace)))

(((RIP)))

 

love and strength at this time, Ro. 

 

So sorry.

Dear Kate,

So very sorry to hear this news.

Sending our condolences, and wishing you all peace.

Love, peace, and comfort to you, Ro.

Glad you two could be together and she could have you there during this time. 

Maybe the beautiful memories you have help you through.

Ro, 

Love and peace to you and your family. I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. Being beside her during her time of passing is very special indeed. May you be comforted in all the memories you have together. Again, love being sent across the miles. 

Ro,

That is super heavy and my heart breaks for you. I am so sorry. All my love to you....

Lulu

Peace and Love to you and your family, Ro!

I'm sure your mom couldn't have asked for anything more than to have you by her side.

Ro, I'm so sorry for your loss & wish you & your family comfort in the coming days. I'm glad you were able to be at her side in her final moments. 

Thinking of you and your mom Ro...sending out huge fucking hugs to both of you guys.

I went through what you are going through exactly 3 years ago, and am literally hours away from saying goodby to my father.

My condolences, Roshambo.

Peace and love to you Ro.  I’m so sorry for your loss.  Keeping you in my thoughts.  

Sorry for your loss Kate. May your mom rest in peace. 

 

Ro, very sorry for your loss.  Heartfelt condolences to you.  Lots of love to you and your family.

Judy and I send our deepest condolences to you and your family, Kate.
I, too, was present when my Mom took her last breath. It was both heartbreaking and awesome. I'm sure your experience was similar.
Know that our Moms are with us forever in heart and mind and can never leave us even as time melts away the pain of loss.
Much heart and peace to you dear friend.

Kate - my deepest condolences to you on the loss of your mom and best friend.

Rest In Peace, Ro's Mom.

While this happened so suddenly, it sounds like you had at least a little time to say the things you needed to say, and to give the hugs that needed to be given.

Hope she had a relatively peaceful and pain free journey, and all the best to you during one the most difficult grieving times on can have in life.

I am very lucky to have known Betty. She was a good and accepting friend to me. I spent time with her with and without her daughter. Betty treated me like a friend and made me feel comfortable.

She shared her medical condition with me & her intentions. Spiritually she was prepared. Her only concerns were for her daughter.

We talked about our mortality & faith. We talked about our family that have passed before us & she shared her thoughts on what death must be.

She remained strong & I wept. My tears were those of a  greedy-needy man who wanted to hold on to his friend.

 

Last night I attended Lavay Smith & THe Red Hot Skillet Lickers' Patsy Cline Tribute @ the  SF Jazz Festival. The show was sold out and was @ The War Memorial's Herbst Theater. I was fortunate & had seats up front.

When Lavay came out we slipped her a note telling her that Betty passed that morning. She sang "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" & dedicated it to Betty Lavay's voice was accompanied by Chris on piano & organ, Bobby Black on pedal steel, & a tenor sax, a clarinette, a trumpet, 2 trombones, an upright bass, & drums. A more beautiful rendition I have not heard.

Betty was with me in the room. Her kind smiling face looked down on me & comforted me as I listened, thought, & wept. 

She was an intelligent woman who was not afraid or ashamed to share her affection. 

 

After the show I met with Lavay & she also comforted me. She knew that I had a true friend who understood the meaning of love. I am to meet with Lavay & Chris tomorrow & she said she will try to get me copy of the dedication & song so I can share it with her daughter.

 

Right on my friend

My thoughts are with you Ro

thanks for sharing crabneesh

much love to you Ro

Crabneesh - what a beautiful thing to do. Peace.

Peaceful thoughts and Prayers your way,  Kate.  I'm sorry for your loss.  I'm happy that you were close with your Mom,  and could be there for Her.
