Since yesterday was also the anniversary of my own mother's death (yes, on Easter, in 2002) as well as my late husband's birthday (he died four years before she did), I raised a glass to both. I can tell you from experience that your "new family significance" will eventually be an occasion of somewhat bittersweet reflection that will present you each year with new opportunities for loving and valuing those who have passed. As you probably know, it gets easier, but more than that, it gets deeper. My best wishes to you.Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14035642478179187618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-73305404687587590042013-04-01T09:54:18.917-07:002013-04-01T09:54:18.917-07:00Oh you must be so relieved that your dear Mother&#...Oh you must be so relieved that your dear Mother's suffering is over. No matter how much a relative is loved you cannot wish them to continue when their condition is so serious. She made your wonderfully supportive family so her love and caring for you all will carry on through them. I am thinking of you and hope that some of the joys of the spring season will help to cheer you.<br />My brother-in-law, also with terminal cancer, died at home last Sunday and we travel to his funeral tomorrow. Obviously my loss is so different to yours but I shed a tear for your mother as well as my own mother who died 22 years ago and is still sorely missed.
