Pat, I'm so sorry you have lost your Mom!  Those are times of 
feelings of great loss, and they are understandable and necessary in 
the healing process.  Try not to let it go on too long, though.  Even 
through the temporary pain, the Joy of the Lord is still available, 
and it is His desire that you experience His Joy and the Peace that 
passes understanding.

In His Love, which includes mine,
Helen
