Norm, I am saddened to hear of your Mom's death. Whether it is the ending of suffering or not, it is heart breaking to lose a loved one, especially a parent. Never easy, regardless of circumstances. But time can be kind and I hope it is for you. Eases the ache, helps to blunt any bad memories, leaving only good, fond ones.
My heart goes out to you and yours and wishes you peace.....
