No Goodbyes

Loss of mother is nothing but loosing a half of heart.
My great grand daughter seven years age asked me, where is she now?
I said she is everywhere but we can't see her.
We will only feel her loving presence.
We will feel her presence within.
She is in our songs, in our poems.
She will continue to be with us in every event ,with her blessings and love.
we should not cry for her, otherwise she will feel sad
Now she should be allowed to take rest.
She has done enough for us, hence her mind need peace.
Our prayers will give her joy of satisfaction.
There was a smile on my great granddaughters face.
I found my lost love in her smile !

My mother passed away on 1st September 2023,due to silent massive heart attack. I was with her till the last moment. She was 88. Till mid of July her all reports were normal. No blood pressure, no diabetes, creatinine level was 1.57 which was normal as per Doctor. Doctor said what treatment we can give, when everything is normal.
But then due to loose motion, she stared loosing her energy. She started avoiding food. Due to lack of food intake, her good reports now turned out abnormal. I was praying God that she should not become bedridden. Her all movements slowed down. Whosoever comes to meet her, she used to wave her hand ,to say goodbye.
We readmitted her on 31st August. In the afternoon at about 3.00p.m, cardiologist told me to make my mind strong. Any time she will get heart attack. However the Senior cardiologist inspected her at 10.15 p.m. said that her heart pumping is normal and she is stable. I was relaxed. As I got relaxed, she passed away.
Your poem deeply touched my heart.

My Momma was the stronger woman I knew. We went to the hospital because Mom was having trouble breathing. She said maybe a day, and the next thing I knew, the doctors were talking about airlifting her to Rochester, MN, and putting her in the ICU. Mom was moved 2 days later to her own room. The nurses had her up walking. Mom and I were joking around like we always did, and 2 days later, a nurse was calling me to tell me Mom was gone. I yelled, “NO!” Mom was not just my momma. She was my best friend. She was my everything. Mom, I miss you terribly. I don’t know how to go on without you.

This poem was right on point, as if you were writing most of it just for me. My mother passed away Feb. 2, 2018; she was 87 as well. She had metastatic breast cancer, and she was a strong soldier. My mom and dad were married for 68 years, and my dad passed away 2 months before she did. I miss her so, so much, but I do know she is happy and free of pain. God bless you and your family, and hang in there; God's got you!

My mother left us yesterday September 9, 2017, a little before noon. She had suffered a stroke that stole her voice and her ability to move anything but her right arm. Her living will was very specific as to her wishes, so we moved her to a hospice house on Thursday. We gathered the family. She spent time with my two brothers and I, her nine grandchildren and nineteen great grandchildren. Even though she was very weak, she would reach up for every visitor and quietly hold their hand for a time. She was 88 years old, but we had hoped for many more. I came across your poem while looking for something to help me deal with the loss. Your words helped immensely with my grief. Thank you.

My mom died today. She was my best friend and my heart and world, along with my children. I would love to share and read this poem at her funeral if that would be ok. She survived one massive heart attack Memorial Day and never really recovered but hung on until 6 a.m. today. I'm really devastated. She's all my kids and I had left. She was our backbone and she's gone now.

My mama died in 1994 when I was 25 years old; she was my best friend, disciplinarian, and role model. She always was there for me through the good and bad times. I could talk to her about anything. She taught how to take care of myself as well as how to be a strong woman. She gave me unconventional love. Now I don't have no one to love me like she did.

This was a very well-put poem. It made tears fall down my cheeks as I remember watching my dear daddy slowly pass on from this life and go home to be with our Savior. I know that heaven is so real by the look on my daddy's face as he reached up toward Nothing we could See, but I know an Angel was standing there to lead him home. Daddy, I miss you so much, and the 50 years that mom and you were together never leaves her for she still talks to you in her sleep. But no goodbyes. One day we will all be together again. Thank you for this heartfelt, beautiful poem. It was very good.
