Oh, Paula, that's so sad. I'm just now reading this thread, so you've already had your Mom's funeral. My prayers are with you & your family during this time. We lost my Dad in March to a sudden stroke, so I can relate to how you're feeling. And my best friend lost her Mom yesterday morning (Christmas Day).
How are you holding up? Let us be your sounding board, your punching bag, and your dry shoulder if you need to talk, vent, or cry. I'm still new here, but I already know that MuT friends support each other in good times and bad, and I'm proud to be a part of that.
