On Sunday September 24th, the woman who gave me life took her last breath. Aside from grief, there’s also this sense of relief. While of course that’s subject to change, I understand the reason why I’m so calm right now, so at peace, is because it was unquestionably her time to be with the ancestors.
The last weeks prior to my mother’s death have been arduous. She was confined to a bed, perturbed from having to be regularly repositioned, and not eating much. It got to a point where she didn’t want any noise around her – tv, radio, phone, or even other people’s voices.
The lady who I knew was fearless, independent, thoughtful and opinionated was telling me without saying the words, “I’m ready”. After being on this earth for almost 86 years, of course she had my blessing to exit stage left. My harshest critic, my biggest fan, mom had a full journey and leaves quite a legacy. Anyone who met her would tell you, she was something else.

I appreciate your testimony, I was Absolutely speechless & Emotional listening to the details because I lost my mom December 2022 She was 90 years old.. I can honestly relate and know exactly. What you went through and how are you feeling now? Because our mom’s gave us life, and now that they’re gone physically gone (it hurts) I call her my Angel mommy When I say my prayers and pray to God talk to God, I always mention hello my Angel Mommy I love you I missing you, that helps me emotionally. Again I appreciate your testimony because I truly truly could relate and it took me back for a minute however it was happy tears cuz I know my mom is home with our Heavenly father… Thank you,
Felicia,
