AnnieGo. Recharge, breathe deeply, walk, rest, laugh, pray...take it all in. Let your shoulders fall slack...you needn't hold up your world anymore. Mom is in God's care. Passage will be decided by them and them alone. She will be in my prayers, as are you Annie...always. Ultreia !
Hi Annie. I wept when I read your link. My mother died almost a year ago, I haven’t shed a tear until now. It was also a difficult relationship and the three years looking after her nearly killed my spirit. I now know I need to get back on the Camino to heal myself. New Zealand had been closed to the World for so long but the end is in sight.Just 13 more sleeps and we're back in Spain

I too experienced every minute of my mother's last long night, ending at 6:30 a.m. I'm glad to hear that you are visiting and enjoying your family, and I hope that you are able to do everything you need to do in the next 12 days. If so, the timing seems perfect.My feisty little mom passed away this morning at 8:20 am after a pretty rough night for both of us.
Sending love to you and your family. May God welcome your Mom with open arms, may she rest in peace. She'll be selecting her seat now to watch you from above...take her along in your steps. She'll now experience the joy of walking Camino and know deeply what your passion means to you. I love the thought of someone who has passed finally knowing the real us, and loving us even more with that real understanding.My feisty little mom passed away this morning at 8:20 am after a pretty rough night for both of us.
I'm exhausted, but relieved. My sons managed to arrive minutes before she left - and now I believe she was waiting for them to come and say their goodbyes. She WAS a good grandmother to them. We spent the morning resting and reminiscing and once mom's body was picked up, my middle son took me to the local pub, where we raised a glass to mom, played some casino games (which she loved) in her memory, and enjoyed our visit. He is staying the night with me tonight. Joe arrives tomorrow and we will begin getting ready for the Camino.
I want to thank each of you for your. kind words, prayers, and thoughts.
I love this community for the support and friendship I always feel here.
I hope to see you on The Way!
Annie
Sincere condolences Annie, it's never easy saying goodbye no matter at what age,My mother passed away 2 days ago, STILL not understanding my call to travel, and I'll be 70 in August!
Some parents just don't ...
My advice is to do what your heart calls you to do.
