Your mother has merely crossed over.....she is not in pain.....she is surrounded by love and joy. She is happy and is standing next to you right at this very moment. You will see her again.....and you will also feel pure love and joy.....of that I have no doubts. Take it from me......I've already died twice. They have brought me back twice because of that ridiculous oath. I know where it is that we go.....and I know that's where she is......and she is so beautiful. Know her peace......and know your peace. Rejoice in her life......and rejoice in your life. You're right.....it's not goodbye.....and you will strengthen from this because it is what your mother wishes for you. She wants you to live each day and love each day for that is why she brought you into this world. Never forget that..... Know my thoughts and prayers are with you.....

Take GOOD GOOD Care Paskie,
I've lost both my parents (my mom in March).The only thing is I can say is grief is a process--so it's most important tokeep doing what you love, AND gather the most caring support from friends AND spiritual resources, AND take time out when you need it even if those breaksare inconvenient.
Condolences,

Pasckie ~
Heavy hearted feelings for the emptiness you may feel at certain moments of your madness.
Happy feelings for the engulfing spirit that you feel at every thought of your sacred Mother.
Honorable feelings dedicated to one who loses the familiar and charts another course in its wake.
Contemplative feelings when cherished memories push their way forward in your living.
Hopeful feelings for the many seconds that will accompany you along the pathway.
Uplifting feelings for life thirst and zeal that completely propel your every moment.
Thankful feelings for the spirit of self-sacrifice and giving that are you.
Joyful feelings as we absorb the peace and tranquility that shadows your journey.

So sorry to hear of your mama san passing. My heart beats for you, for her, for your grief and loss, and your family. There are no words for such moments. Easy answers to such sorrow have always seemed empty, shallow, a false soothing of a genuine pain. So I offer you only my heart, my love, my compassion, to you, a compadre worthy of all things good. I will light a candle for you, for her as she passes into the Great Mystery, for the healing of your stricken bleeding heart, for the nurturing of your fine soul in this hour, in these days, through these weeks as you wind through the dark alleys in the aftermath of a loved ones death. I will play the drum and say some prayers and sing a song for her, and for you. Your mother was truly a gift to us all, for she brought into the world such a fine and beautiful soul who is a blessing unto us all, which is you, a compadre of the first magnitude, who walks in a meaningful way, doing meaningful things, who walks in a good way . . . on a road worth walking...Many blessings to you my compadre, as you walk your walk in the days and weeks ahead. The love and respect of many walk with you, step after step, day by day.
Give a call if you need a warm shoulder, a tender heart, a listening ear, or a cold frosty fresh from the tap.

Brother,
I was so sorry to hear of your news! Having read your letter below, it seems she was a formidable spirit -- one you manifest everyday, I suspect. You have our deepest condolences and most sincere blessings -- not to mention thanks, for your generous support of our visit. We look forward to returning your hospitality soon. Stay strong, my man, and remember that the universe harbors much love for you...perhaps even more, now that your biological source has rejoined the one from which we all sprung....
Peace, in the world and of mind,
Shahid Buttar

Hi. I'm with you in this strange situation. I want to say condolences, I think it might relieve you a little but I find the line too perfunctory. I do not know what is like to lose a parent thus I would not be able to understand what you feel. I do not feel sad when people pass away though, especially when it happens at their ripe age. I actually feel pleased for the old person's soul. This earth make souls weary and heaven must be a destination for a respite, and maybe eternal bliss and peace for all of us. I'm just here for anything Pasckie. Email me if you must, the way we always do. Yeah, I agree with you, we must live life like it's a gift.
Hear from you again.
