My mother passed away on Monday night. I used to think that when an older person passed away, especially one who has been very ill, that it wasn't particularly sad; that it was a good thing. But I discovered that even though I am happy she is no longer suffering, I am sad she is gone. Mothers are the rocks of the family. The loss of the mother changes the whole family dynamics. My mom orchestrated every family gathering for years. She took care of birthdays, weddings, and family reunions. She was the advocate for us all. I will miss her influence very much.
