After a bout with duodenal / intestinal cancer that went undiagnosed for several months, and a seemingly successful surgery, my mom passed away a couple of weeks ago. She just never really was able to eat well, get her digesitive system kick started again, and gain back strength and put on weight.

We celebrated her 75th birthday by reading her cards to her in the ICU, both Birthday and Mothers Day as her May 14 birthday fell on Mothers Day this year.

Her Surgery was in Feb. and the initial optimism was slowly replaced with fear, despair, and finally waiting for the inevitable.
I havent forum surfed or played much guitar lately. When I do, there are a lot of minor chords and blues shuffles.

I am the oldest of 2 sons and the 'responsible' one so I get to do all the estate stuff, not that theres much in value or that I'm looking for the payoff but you still gotta do all the leg work.
Just makes it harder to put it out of my mind and heal a little at a time.

I think posting this here helped a little.
 
Sorry brother. There is not much to say that will heal this, maybe time will soften it. I think the important part, where the healing may truly come from, is that you have and are doing the right thing by her and the ones she loved; that you were there for her when she was not sick to make her smile and at the end reading her cards when she was sick, just like she was there for you when your ride in life started out. Hold on to what you can, the memories and the indelible impression she made on your thoughts, actions and the man you are and keep living and trying to do the same for others.

Thoughts and condolences, but most of all, we are here.
 
Deepest condolences, brother. I lost my mother back in '94 and know your grief. Hang in there.

It's never easy to lose a loved one, especially Mom or Dad. I've lost both and offer you my sincere condolences. These words may not ease the pain of your loss, but fortunately time will. RIP JTC's mom, RIP.
 
My sincere condolences.

Instead of writing a lot, i just took my just re-awakened archtop and tried to fill the empty space with sound - just an expansion on e minor in narrow variations, flowing like the wind.
 
So sorry to hear this...even though we all know it will happen it's a hard thought to bear.

My sincere and deepest condolences on your loss, my thoughts are with you...
