Your Mom will continue to live with you in your heart forever. Mine died 45 years ago, when I was only 20, and I still carry her with me and think about her almost every single day.

Hey @Ryro sorry to hear about your Mom. I hope you are coping ok and that we can be a distraction for you in this difficult time. Take care of yourself and be with family. We’re all here when you need an escape.

 

SORRY FOR YER MUM..my friend,. i have lost both of my parents within 3 months of each other back 3 years ago this coming sept period..so sorry, death sucks..

 

My heartfelt condolences @Ryro. It is a deep sadness to lose one's parents. My dad passed away in 1997 and my mom in 2006, I miss them everyday.
Honoring your mother with this Dupondius issued under Tiberius for his mother Livia, the first woman to appear on provincial coins in 16 BC.

 

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. It would be a strange sight if every mother would be honored the way we see here depicted on this Antoninus Pius sestertius: life sized statues drawn along by elephants. I regularly think of my parents who lived well into their nineties, but also of my wife who only lived to be 67.

 

..that's a hard lick my friend..i am sorry to hear this...in time you'll get used to it, but never over it..

 

I'm so sorry for your loss, @Ryro. My prayers are for your comfort and peace.

 

Sincere condolences @Ryro
