There is a happy reunion going on for your mother on the other side of the veil-- the sad part if on this side for all those who will miss her. My mother just died this last year (I'm 61) and I STILL miss her!
Now is the time for us to work to be the best we can, with the trials we "get" to experience, as we work to be as Christlike as possible. It helped me to remember that "Jesus wept" when his friend Lazarus died, and he even knew he would bring him back to life! (not resurrected- as Jesus was the first, and L. would die later). -- It helps me to think of this life a Heavens boarding school, and that we get to "graduate" and go back to our Father hopefully with a good report card.

God bless us all to do so! Gramajane
