Ms. Kristie,death is apart of life and it's okay to grieve; but, don't grieve too long. Celebrate the life of your mother and reflect on the good memories you've shared through the years. I'm sure that will put a smile on your face. May the Lord send down Angels of Mercy to comfort you and your family during this time of bereavement.
