My Story


My mom and I have always been close, always had a special relationship. On September 2 I got a call that forever changed my life. My mom had collapsed at church and was being taken via ambulance to the hospital. A few hours later I got another call, this time my best friend telling me how serious things were. Within three hours my coworkers had me on a plane (at zero cost to me!) and by 6 pm that night I was at my mom's side.

After three days in the ICU it was determined that because of how long her brain had gone without oxygen, she likely wouldn't wake up. On September 5th we made the most difficult decision to let her go peacefully. It was something she had talked about so we were sure it was what she would have wanted us to do.

My wonderful mother passed peacefully on September 6 at 6:10 am. She is already missed so much.

This blog is my journey through the grieving process. Hopefully that will keep my regular daily blog a little less depressing.

On this blog I will share some of my daily grief emails and also songs, poems and pictures that touch my heart. Hopefully this will help someone, but if nothing else, it helps me.

Memories

From an un-named child of Lynn's: 
I loved her as my own. I lived at her house 5 nights a week. My mom used to tell me "if you aren't at my home, at least I know your safe here". She is and was amazing. 

You know the last time I saw your mom, I was at the doctors office. I had my two children. My youngest was just months old. She looked at me and remembered me and she said hi. The last thing she told me was your youngest is not too young to go to Bible School. I will pick him up. He is so ready to embrace God. And I looked at your mom and I knew but that's exactly where he should go. 

Your mom was the most pure and beautiful soul I've ever met. Even though she's gone I want you to remember her as the soul that she was. So willing to reach out to the younger crowd. To always bring them closer to God. Your mom had a heart of gold. There is no doubt she is sitting up in heaven with Jesus. Your mom was beautiful and she still is. Your mom gave so much to me as a teenager, she is and was so darn beautiful inside and out.
