It gives me comfort when I am missing a loved one who has passed.<BR/><BR/>"As long we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on-in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here". <BR/><BR/>Oma will live on in the hearts and memories of all those who loved her.<BR/><BR/>CynCynthia Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09682883555325866307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14858228.post-1154330108841646622006-07-31T09:15:00.000+02:002006-07-31T09:15:00.000+02:00so sorry to hear, but death is in itself a celebra...so sorry to hear, but death is in itself a celebration.

It is hard to loose someone you are close to day by day as they slip slowly from you. I hope you and your family can find comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering from this terrible sickness for which we must find a cure.

My mother is in care with it, and I know only too well how it feels to be a stranger to your parent. I know how it feels to regret so much what is lost to that person who wakes up in an unknown world filled with strangers everyday and wants to go home to a house that burned when she was six years old. <BR/>You are right that she is now beyond a suffering we can hardly imagine. Let that be a consolation, Kim. <BR/>My sympathies to all of you.Judith in Umbriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884356780097069194noreply@blogger.com
