At the risk of having tomatoes thrown at me, or being called a raving idiot (or something equally delightful) I just can't sit by and not respond on AW to your sad news. You know where to find me if you want to yell.
I can understand that you wouldn't want condolences offered in your thread--it's such a busy place, but this ain't your thread. It's mine, honey. (And anyone else that adds here.)
So here, my dear:
I read your post early this morning and have been thinking about you and your family all day, as I'm sure many of us at AW have.
Please accept my deepest condolences, my biggest comfort hugs, and my wish that your mother find peace and all good things wherever she now resides.
When folks I care about pass on, I imagine them sitting in the most comfortable chair with their feet up on an ottoman, wearing their favorite slippers, watching the continuing saga of human folly on some heavenly TV somewhere in the ether. They are usually having lots of belly laughs, sometimes pointing and yelling at the TV, like when people get all worked up watching the Redsox. I imagine my Uncle Lefty watching my daughter grow up this way.
May comfort surround you in the days ahead, Jim.
I'll be thinking of you.
Big hug,
Lisa
