I have been so incredibly overwhelmed by all of your words and the outpouring of love that I’ve received in such a short amount of time. Thank you all, from the very bottom of my heart. I wanted you to know I have read every comment and every email and I am so wrapped in the love you all have shown me. I still can’t believe that this happened, and I feel like my heart is broken in a million little pieces and keeps breaking over and over again. I have found peace in knowing that my sweet Mum is in heaven, partying it up with our loved ones who are already up there, but it’s still hard to not want her back here with us with every fiber of my being. That’s just the honest truth. My faith is getting me through this, and the love of my family and friends and all of you, for you have all become my friends, too. I am so much in awe of this community, for it’s not just a community- it’s a family. And I really feel so much love for every one of you. Now please promise me you’ll go hug your loved ones tight and always be liberal with your I love you’s. Always. I love you all!

My heart breaks for you sweet girl :( Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. love and hugs coming your way!
Love you so much, friend. You’re in my thoughts and prayers!
i’m so sorry katie. thinking and praying for you.

I’m so sorry to hear about your Mom. I can’t imagine the sadness you are feeling at this moment. Always remember we are praying for you and your family :)
praying for you Katie! you are very brave.
i’m so sorry to hear about your mom katie. she is now at peace sweetie and i can totally understand you wanting her here. one day you will see her again, hang on to that promise. will be praying for you to be strenghtened with God’s peace.
Your words here are beautiful. Take all the time you need to be with your family, to cry, to laugh about all the wonderful memories, to look at old pictures. Take this time now. We’ll always be here when you’re ready to write again or if it’s all you can write about for the next few months. Shoot, I still can’t stop writing about it!
But your strength is so prominent here in this post. And just know that it’s okay to want her back every single day. I often found that some days the “she’s watching over me” and “she’s in a better place” banter that went on in my head still wasn’t enough. I still wanted her with me. So, just know it’s okay to feel that way and to cry at random times.
You are so strong and your words are touching so many of us right now. I will be praying for you, my sweet friend. Always!
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom Katie. My prayers are with you and your family. I lost my dad to cancer when I was 14..I can’t say that I know exactly how you’re feeling at this time, but I do know what it feels like to lose a parent/loved one. I’ll be sending up prayers for strength, comfort and peace.
My sweet dear Katie, I want you to know that I have been praying for you and your family during this very difficult time. I’m here if you need anything!
I know we all wish we could make this easier for you, Katie. Most of us know what it’s like to be touched by loss and sorrow. Hold on to His promises, you are well loved!

i had to hold back tears reading this, i can’t imagine what your going through! i’d be a complete mess and mute to the word. your are strong!!! i’m happy to hear that it sounds like your doing as good as you can at this moment!
xoxo
I really don’t know what to say, my darling friend, other than I love you so much! I have no idea how much hurt, confusion, frustration, and pain you are going through… but I hope you know how much love and how many prayers are being sent your way! Your words are beautiful and your mumsie raised one smart, gorgeous, and inspiring young lady who is going to continue to make her so very proud! Love you!
xoxo
Always Katie! Keep praying and looking to God for comfort , once again I am so sorry for your loss.

Hi Katie,
I don’t know you, but I found your blog through some other blogs that I read. I, too, write a blog. My blog is really just a documentary of my life and things I want to write about as most blogs are. However, 10 months ago, I lost my best friend/soulmate to suicide. As such, I have recently been writing about grief because it helps me to heal. Not all of my posts are about deep grief, but I do write a lot about it because losing Mike was such a profound and shocking loss for me. While I have never lost a parent, some people have told me that grief is grief and my posts have helped them get through their losses. I also know that I have found other grief blogs that have helped me, too. So, I offer my grief posts (or my whole blog) to you. I think you can just look for ones labeled “Mike” and/or “grief”. They may not help you since the relationship and cause of death is different, but they might help you. Mike died in April, but I didn’t start writing about it until July. I don’t know how you are feeling (and it is important to remember that you might experience intense heartache and feel like you are going crazy, but that is all ok and normal and it will get better. People told me that and I didn’t believe them, but it is true.), but my prayers go out to you and your family. So sorry for your loss.
Oh Katie, I am so, so sorry for your loss. Your mom sounds like she was a beautiful woman inside and out! I’m so glad you have peace in the Lord. I really don’t know how people deal with these things without faith! Prayers and hugs.
I am so sorry for your loss Katie and I will be praying for you and your family! It’s so hard to loose a loved one because we want them here with us, but it’s comforting to know they are in Heaven and we’ll see them again someday! I’m so glad you have the peace of knowing that and also that you seem to have a really great support system to help you get through this. I’m giving you a big ol’ virtual hug right now ;)
Thinking about you. Xoxo
Katie,
I only recently started following your blog, but it doesn’t take long to feel like you know the person on the other side of the blog space. You seem to be a very strong and confident woman, I’m sure you got that from your mother. I am praying for you during this difficult time.
XO
I am so so sorry for you Katie. I just love your sweet positive attitude as usual, though. You are such a blessing!
Much love <3
Was just stopping by your blog from Mish Lovin Life (I’m a sponsor this month as well)…. So so so sorry, Hun. I lost my step-mom to breast cancer when I was 14, and know how devastating it can be. I’m certain your mama is your guardian angel now, and she’ll be with you in spirit until you can meet again. Stay strong!
Aloha,
Erica

sending you so much love.
thoughts and prayers your way, lady! so sorry about your loss. i’m glad you know she’s in heaven and you’ll see her again, but it’s still sad.
I am terrible when it comes to things like this and that is why I haven’t said anything until now. But I want you to know that I have been keeping you in my thoughts pretty much every day since we heard. Sending thoughts and love your way.
It’s so hard to accept the reality but your mom is out of any pain she was in. And heaven just has one very special angel watching over you & your whole family. Sending love and prayers!
