If you love her, tell her.
If you owe her any apologies, apologize.
If you want to know anything, ask her.
Take solace in the fact that you have the opportunity so few have been given. My mother and I had a "falling out" over ten years ago. During that whole time we never spoke or communicated in any way. Four weeks ago she died in a car wreck.
Use this chance for all it's worth.

Personally, I'd just want another good long conversation about all the little petty things that we usually dish about. It would be too weird making it deep or trying to read things into it because it would be the "last time" and if I were to enter into it that way, then I would feel after her passing that it was wrong. After all, when you enter into those kind of conversations, it tends to make the other person even more aware of their situation, when they're ill and not feeling well, anyway. So just another good, lighthearted gab fest, for old time's sake. And I think she'd know that I loved her and would definitely miss those good times.

I've tried to live my life in a way that, when my time comes or when this sort of thing happens, there's nothing "left on the table" unresolved.
When my father passed, I was living in another state and knew that the next time I saw him would be at the funeral. I held his hand, stayed with him continuously until I had to leave. My parting words were "I love you, Dad and thank you for my life." All other issues had been addressed previously and our last minutes together were all about love and family.
My condolences to you when the time comes.

Craina, first let me tell you I am truly sorry for your loss.
Instead of hyposethizing about the impossible, why not think about the possible. You will never see your mother again in this world. But the good news is, you can see her and be with her for all eternity.
If you haven't accepted Christ as you saviour, will you consider it ? Then you will have the peace that only He can give, and will be assured a place in heaven along with your mother and all loved ones. I hope that God will bless you and give you Peace.

Hello dear, you're in a difficult place right now. I wish you all the strength you need. When my mother was dying, she wanted to be sure I was gonna be alright, she wanted to be sure we had a connection and she wanted to be sure that some of her loved ones would be waiting for her when she crossed over. I tried to assure her of these three things. When the moment was there and she did cross over, she was very peaceful. Even though it was a very difficult time for me I could feel a bit at peace with her departure because I had seen the peace on her face. Good luck dear. I'm sure you will know the right things to say to her, just let your heart speak.

I'd tell her I loved her, then would thank her for all she did for me and gave up for me. I'm sorry you are losing your Mom. There will be a whole in your heart that can never be repaired. tell her what ever comes to mind, its important to you not ever to have to say I wish I would have said. And last and the hardiest thing you'll ever do, let her know its OK that you will be alright, let her go knowing she did her job and you can make it because she did.

Was she happy? I'd want a hug, and I'd tell her that I love her. Honestly, my mom died a couple yrs ago and no matter what you ask or talk about, you're going to have things that you wish you'd said. It's hard to get across to people how much they mean to you and how much you'll miss them. good luck.

Why do you need to know this...this is definitely personal..that will be definitely me and my mother...several friends of mine their mother's passed a few years ago..everytime that speak of their mothers...they would start crying...whatever we want to say...we need to tell them now...when they die.. it will be too late...at their memorial service let's not cry and holler, etc...we need to do all of that now...so they can see it..this is touchy subject for many...I must say..you have good intentions..but it just comes at a different angle for many...

I would tell her how much she means to me, that I love her, thank her for the great job she did of raising me, and tell her how much I will miss her. If you have any questions about you family's history, you'd better ask them now.
Also, I would share my favorite family memories with her. Be specific!
