Bitter endings and new beginnings

Today, my Mom passed away. She had a Glioblastoma Multiforme brain tumor. This is such a little understood type of cancer. It is truly truly a horrible disease. We knew this would be our end result but somehow that brings so little solace. This part of our journey has ended and now grieving has begun. I will grieve. I will grieve and go on because that is what life is about. I must go on because nothing good can be had from marinating in one's own sorrow. I would like to take a moment to say what a wonderful woman my mother was. She was creative, caring and always encouraged us to go after our dreams. I will miss her and her wisdom.

I wandered to your blog after reading your heartfelt notes on the Icelandic Lace Shawl and I am so sorry to hear that your mother passed away. My condolences.
I also lost my mother to brain tumour, 5 years ago, it was hard and still is at times. There is nothing I can say that you don’t already know so I will just send you a big cyberhug and good thoughts.

Im so sorry to hear about your mother, i know what you're going throught because my father died of stage four throat cancer just in january of last year. The worst part is that my brother and sister are still underaged (15, 17). Everything will be alright in good time, take care and godbless.
