I just learned today (9-26) of Lola's homegoing. Although I grieve for the family, I rejoice for her. She is where she wanted to be, safe in the arms of Jesus. Be encouraged to know that she has received the complete healing from all earthly ills and pain.
There will be and probably have already been those who have said that in time, you'll get over it. That's not true. Having buried both of my parents, I have a little experience in this.
You never "get over" loosing a loved one. You just learn how to keep going without them.
My deepest sympathy to her children, grandchildren, other family and friends.
