A Personal Loss

Share this page

Our deepest sympathy, Nial. Steph and I have found, even 4 years after the last parent died, we still have the sudden urge to call and share something we know they would have wanted to know. You and your family are so fortunate to be close, and have a Mother like her so much a part of your lives.
 
Nial, losing a parent is never easy! My condolences to you and your family. It sounds like she was a wonderful lady who lived a full life! I could not think of a kinder way of passing than in your sleep with your life-partner at your side!! God Bless!
 
Sorry to hear this Nial,

But it certainly sounds like she lived a full life, you and your family will be in my prayers and thoughts, and for your dad as he adjusts to a whole new life...
 
Condolences Nial. What a legacy she left. Our prayers are with you guys.
 
Nial-

Thanks very much for sharing this, and I am truly sorry to hear of your loss. Your note hits pretty close with me, my mom is also 80, and my dad 86. I think you summed it up very well - as sad as you are, you've described a beautiful person in your mom and a life well lived there - I think of my parents the same way and am very thankful to still have them.

We are doing OK. Our family is very tight and supportive which is helping all of us manage this loss.

Special thanks to Mickey......I have passed on your message to my family. Very much appreciated by all.

.....Nial, having lost both a parent and a child, I know the pain cannot be described.
Thoughts are with you.

Very true, Don.
Unfortunately, I have experienced both of those losses too.
The pain of losing a parent is difficult.
The pain of losing a kid......there is no word for that.
 
Nial,

I waited awhile to read your post.I didn't want to rush
through it.
Sad to hear,but it sounds like she had a good life.It's
always tough to lose a parent,even when you know it's coming.
