    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, I am so sorry. Losing a parent is really hard. Be gentle with yourself, and take good care.

    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.

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

    I'm very sorry about your mom. Go carefully.
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    Oh, I'm so sorry, Catrin. I know you didn't expect this to happen so soon or you would not have left. Please take care of yourself.

    Warm thoughts and hugs...it's difficult to lose a parent.
