On 31st July my mother left this world as I sat beside her stitching and a CD of hymns played quietly.
Here is one of the earliest photos on my blog, from 2009, on her 81st birthday:
I have had this post open on my computer for a week now, adding words and then deleting them, wondering what photos to add, which words. But this is it
Vale, farewell, my mother.

Words are hard to come by when these things occur in your life to loved ones...
That is a super picture--she looks like a lovely lady who will be much missed.
I hope your fond memories of your times together will warm your heart...

Dear Vireya, I know how hard and difficult it is to say goodbye to the people we love. Your pain is my pain.
May God give you strength and comfort during this time of mourning.
Soon only the good memories will be with you and the missing won't hurt so much anymore. Hugs.
So sorry for your loss, love and hugs, Maria
A beautiful tribute Vireya, the photo says so much about your Mother, from the hand knit cardigan, to the chat on the phone. My sympathy to you and your family at this most difficult time, may you find solace in the many good memories you have.
It is sad when a parent dies, but comforting for you and your family that you were with her. A nice picture to remember her by!
I remember you. My sincere condolences. I know how it hurts to lose a mother. My mom died a year ago. The only consolation is that our mothers are no longer in pain. Marie
The fact that you don't know what to say is indicative of your grief. I really feel for you and remember vividly the pain of losing my own Mother. I can only wish you strength to cope with your loss. Hugs Vireya.
My thoughts are with you Vireya and I am sorry to hear this sad news.
Prayers of comfort for you. Enjoy the good memories. It's a beautiful photo.
Oh Vireya, such a difficult time for you and your family. You have been such a loving daughter. Take care xxx
Thinking of you and your family Vireya. Treasure those happy memories of your mother. xx
My condolences. Taken care.
prayers for you
My thoughts are with you at this sad time Vireya.

You have been on my mind the past couple of weeks. Very sorry about your mom.

Sorry to hear of your beloved mother’s passing Vireya, thinking of you at this sad time.
*Hugs*
It’s so difficult to watch as their life slowly slips away. I’m glad you were able to be with her to the end. I lost my mom this past year too and miss her everyday. I’m thankful I had her for so many years. Hugs.
My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your Mom. It is good that you could be there with her in her last moments. She is at peace now and you can embrace your memories of her as you continue in the days ahead with a new angel on your shoulder.
