Devastating. So so sorry to hear this.

Let me know if you want to talk. <3
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Well she had a life and some one who will really miss her now that it's over. That's a lot. Sorry for your loss, Brian.

Sorry, Brian.  At least you have the consolation of knowing that her pain is over.

Went to see mom at the funeral home today. Was very upset that they didn't wait for us to follow them there yesterday. Got to see her one last time today. I am emotionally spent right now. Had to sit through nursing home packing my mom's room. Would have thought they would have done that last night. Hated watching them pack everything. 

Hospice lady is very nice she and a therapist met me at the funeral home. Hated it though when she kept referring to my atheism as a "belief system" all week.. I wanted to shout "NO IT ISN'T".

I just don't know what the hell I am doing right now. I am all by myself in all this and it's enough already by itself losing the most wonderful person in my life. 

Damn I am going to miss mom calling me every day. Calling me to remind me to do this or that. Call me just to say I love you. Call me to remind me my favorite shows are on late so I don't fall asleep. I am going to miss mom playing bingo and winning 25 cents, or 50 cents and a few times even 2 dollars, to call me and say " we can go on a cruise."

Mom is the reason I met my best friend Bob, and John whom are both atheists. She is the reason I met my x wife, whom I still talk to. She is the reason this wonderful cat named Sarah is sitting in my lap right now. Mom is the reason I read people like Harris and Dawkins and Hitchens. She was not into that, but when a birthday or Christmas came up or just on a whim she'd give me a book she bought for me because I talked about it. 

Mom is a holiday Catholic. Never went to church regularly. But mom let me be me and is always interested in my debates online. Always wants to know who said what and what my response was, politics or religion. Mom has a great heart.

Sincere condolences Brian.
