I'm so sorry to hear about you loss. I always felt I knew your mother through your mentions of her in your blog and here on the forum. I'll be keeping her and your family in my prayers.

Daniel, I have a mother from the old country that I feel the same way about that you felt about your mom.
Im sorry for your loss.
Keep making her proud.

Daniel, my deepest condolences on your mom's passing. I'm sure her loss will be difficult for you and your brother, but I hope that your happy memories will comfort and sustain you. As a mom I know that you made her prouder than you can imagine- not only by being successful as a player, but by being a loving, kind, gentle son.

Sincerest condolences Daniel, to you and your family.

I have no doubt you made your mother proud in life, and will continue to do so. She'll be sweating each bracelet win, and AHL Championship, from the big bleachers in the sky, smiling all the while.

My prayers are with you and the family tonight,

Our thoughts are with you and your family.

My thoughts are with you and your family Daniel.

Dear Daniel,

the sad news that you twittered and blog posted made me shiver and filled me with sadness.
At the same time I hope that your mommie is now relieved of her torturous pains. I am happy for you to have had such a great mom that everybody would have wished for him-/herself.

To you, your brother and all of the Negreanu family my deepest condolences!
Count yourselves lucky such a great person and soul was amidst you for all these years.

One love, one heart.

Rest in dearest peace Mrs. Negreanu,
Nima

My deepest condolences to you Daniel and to your family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Take comfort from knowing that your Mom is in a better place now, and that you will meet again with her and your father in the next life.

Our most heartfelt condolences on the loss of your mother Daniel. She obviously was a wonderful woman to have raised such fine sons as yourself and your brother.

She will always be there for you, because you will always have her in your heart. Cherish the good memories, and banish the bad from your mind. The bad ones were fleeting, but the rest will comfort you in your time of loss.

My own mother is 86 now, and reminds me of your Mommy from what I've been able to gather from everything. Always there for everyone, giving what was needed at the time. The best cook and a fantastic mother who saw me through the loss of my father at age 13.

We were afraid that we may have lost her last night when I got a call at 10:30 saying she was being rushed to the hospital with severe chest pains. She's pulled through, and the tests are still ongoing but when I heard that she asked the Paramedic in the ambulance if his hands were clean before she'd take a Nitro pill from him told me that she would pull through.

We have you and the family in our hearts and thoughts always.

God is with you in your time of need. Your mother will be in a better place, Earth is just the waiting room.

2 Corinthians 5: 1, 8
Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven. . . We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

My condolences.

GOD bless you and your's Daniel. Your mom and mine had their strokes about the same time. My Mom died 3 days after hers. I remember commenting on this forum at the time. Your Mom really did so well...for you and the family. You and your family handled all of this so well. You were actually an inspiration to me during the time. Your words in this blog really comforted me at that time. Again, may GOD bless you and yours in this time of pain/sorrow/and relief.

Daniel my thoughts are with you. My father passed when I was 10 and you're an inspiration on many levels. I wish you and yours nothing but the best in this time of sadness.

I know this likely won't get read, but want to pass it along anyway...

Joan Halifax Roshi is a Buddhist leader who specializes in working with the dying. She writes a lot about end-of-life issues (her Being With Dying and Stan Goldberg's Lessons for the Living are both outstanding).

She observed that it is "surprisingly common" for people to peacefully slip away when they are alone, especially when they are caring, loving people who always gave to others. Even when they seem unaware of their surroundings, they always know when loved ones are there, and they want to spare them the trauma of having to witness death. One woman she writes of dies when her daughter goes down to the cafeteria for dinner, and she says she's heard of people going when their loved ones went to get a doctor and were only out of the room for a moment.

Survivors sometimes beat themselves up for "not being there when it counted," but Halifax Roshi says this is the last thing the dying person wanted, and it is always their wishes that matter most. It is vitally important to them that the last gift they can give is one of not letting their loved ones suffer the last moment. Just as a loving mother would shield her sons from witnessing a murder or a fatal car wreck, a loving mother at the end will shield her sons from standing by her bedside in helpless pain.

So, for Daniel and Mike and everyone else who find themselves in this situation (including me, as I wasn't there when my father died), don't feel guilty or beat yourselves up if your loved one slipped away while alone. It was no failure on your part. It was a supreme act of love on theirs.

Peace and love,
Arlynda
