On May 14, 2016, my mother finally found peace in the arms of our Lord. My father, my sister and I were all with her, holding her hand, rubbing her arms and telling her just how much we loved her when she took her final breath. It was very peaceful.
The task of telling our eight year old granddaughter that Granny had passed fell on my husband’s shoulders. She had been staying with us for about a month. After sharing with her that Granny was gone he asked her thoughts. My beautiful, intelligent granddaughter said, “I think everyone around Granny is sad. But I believe Granny is on a great adventure.”
So now, whenever I feel down, whenever I am especially missing my mother I just look towards the heavens and say, “Mom, I know you are on a great adventure!”
I love you Mom.
So sorry you lost your mum. Comforting to read that you were all with her at the end & it was peaceful. How insightful of your granddaughter to say she is on a great adventure. Best wishes to you. x
