207. Mother-Daughter Journey: Aujourd’hui Ma Mère Est Morte~ Camus

The Talmud writes, “It is a good sign for one who passes away on the eve of Shabbat.” On the most simple level this is because they enter Shabbat, a true day of rest, shortly after their passing. The holy Shabbat is a day of rest not only for those who observe it on this physical realm, but also for the souls in the hereafter. Souls that are being cleansed of their sins in Gehinnom are relieved of this painful process for the duration of Shabbat, free to experience the Shabbat rest. One who passes away on Friday is assured of entering a restful state immediately upon reaching the world of souls, which is certainly a “good sign.”

She passed in her sleep, peacefully at 11:15 PM with her aide present. She waited until after my birthday, as I had prayed for. No pain. The day is beautiful, the sun is out and golden, the sky is blue. Simple things to make the moment bearable. I am grateful for these little things, grateful to have had her, and I know she is at peace, whole again, finally able to see her family members. She wanted to see my father, her mother, to have meals with them and to first visit the hairdresser.
Go, Ma, zei gezunt!

May God give you comfort in your grief. You have done everything possible to care for your mother. May she rest in peace. Sending love and hugs your way.
May she rest in peace.
Sending all my love and hugs…
Even when you know it’s coming the actual moment hits your whole being like a 50 tonne trailer. Your mother fought the good fight and you were an exceptional daughter. Death is never easy no matter what. Realizing the finality is hard. Knowing that you’ll never see someone in the flesh again is difficult. I am so, so very sorry Sue and wish you nothing but peace as you find the strength to accept what was inevitable. May your Mom rest in eternal peace and may you find peace in knowing that her suffering is over xx
The memory of the mother who nurtured you will continue to nourish you, even in grief. Oh, to live such a long life and peacefully and gracefully exit the stage. thinking of you.
After all the trouble, there’s peace at least. I am with you, we are all with you, dear Susan, you can now breathe and let go of her — and your — pain. Un abbraccio affettuoso. Dani
May you have comfort during these days of grief. It’s been quite a struggle, and you managed beautifully! Sit with your grief and embrace yourself. Sending love and hugs for some comfort. xo
