The kind thoughts and words are very much appreciated. I feel numb right now, probably shock. I am driving back home tomorrow morning after I get a good workout in, I think the exercise will help.

Catrin, condolences to you and the rest of your family. It's so hard to lose your mom, I have too. I haven't been on the forums in a couple of months and just stopped in and followed this thread, at some point in the future you will probably take comfort that you were able to spend some time with her at the end. So sad. Take care of yourself.

Catrin, I would like to add my heartfelt sympathies for the loss of your mother. There's no easy way, I think. But I will say that when I lost my mom in 2007, the sympathies and good wishes of fellow TEers were big comforts for me. I wish you peace of mind and love and support from your good friends and family as you go forward.

My deepest sympathies. Others have offered good, and well-expressed advice. I'll just nod along in agreement. Take care.
