That's the journey of a writer, long and winding. Ups and downs, rejections, joys, acceptance, laughter, tears, community, and yet a sense of loneliness. The road is bumpy, often full of potholes, and yet it's one we gladly follow, for we are writers and writing is a part of our soul. Join me on my journey.

Eve, sweetie, I'm so very, very sorry. I'm glad she's found peace at last, but I've an idea of the toll and heartache you and yours must have suffered. If there's anything, anything at all I can do for you, please let me know.
Your life has been so completely wrapped up in hers, it's probably difficult to imagine the house without her no matter what the pain you had to go through.
I love you for the strong, compassionate person you are. How you could come up with all the humorous little things you still did for so long, is beyond me. You are truly a precious person. You have survived a lot and are and will always be a stronger and more compassionate person for it.
Have a time of peace. Thank you for your updates because we were living this time with you as much as we could. Rest now and grieve and take a deep breath before you take your next step on life's road.
To you, Bebo, and all the rest of your family my deepest sympathies, lots of hugs and prayers.
Eve, her suffering has ended. No more pain, she now has the joy of the hereafter. I'm praying for you now. For you to have the strength to recover from all the pain leading up to and of her passing. My family and I mourn for you. Love and Hugs being thought for you, and your family.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you'll be able to find peace for yourself soon knowing you did all you could and that she's not suffering anymore. Take care of yourself.
Eve, I'm so very sorry. I'm glad your mum's at peace now, but as you know I understand what you're going through - I've been there. Anything I can do, just yell. I'm here.
I’m so very sorry. My deepest, heartfelt condolences dear Eve. At this most difficult time I know you can take some comfort in the knowledge that your beloved mother is finally at peace and free from the ravages of Alzheimers. Please take good care of yourself, my friend.
My sympathy and love goes out to you, Bebo and the rest of your family. They say that we pass on to a beautiful place...now would be a good time to believe that.
Today and always, may the loving memories of your beloved Mom bring you strength, comfort and peace.
I'm so very very sorry for your loss - but so glad for your Mum that she is at peace.
You and your family have cared for her so lovingly and I'm sure that, even in the darkness of the illness, she knew that. I hope that that brings you some peace now at this time of loss.
My thoughts are with you - now take care of yourselves for a while. You need loving too
Today is the anniversary of my Momma's passing. I know what you are going through. My prayers are with you and your family. Try to focus on the good memories and gradually the last few months will fade to a bearable level. Just know we are all here for you if you need to talk. Love and Hugs to you and Bebo and all of your family.
That is truly a lovely picture of your mom. And knowing you, I can imagine what she was like. No doubt you are not the same but yet we are raised mostly by our mothers and we were more so than succeeding generations.
Is she playing with a baby or a doll on the other picture?
I've got both tears and a tentative smile on my face. God bless you.
Oh, Eve, I'm so very, very sorry. I'm glad your mom's at peace now, and I know she will have been so proud to have such a wonderful daughter. I can only begin to imagine what you're going through right now.
I'm just getting around to checking email and the blog, I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I didn't think it would come so quickly. Has the wake/service been scheduled? I will make time to come by later in the week. I'm sure you are busy with family coming in. My heart aches for your loss. I will continue to send prayers your way.
My condolences. It's admirable the way all your posts have been so organized and coherent, yet compassionate and realistic when writing about your mother. There should be some sort of award for that.
