Re: my mum
Sallyanne, don't worry I'm not offended, I almost answered your post earlier but couldn't quite articulate it. I'm not religious in an organised or conventional sense of the word although I have beliefs they aren't static enough to give a name to. But I don't mind others trying to comfort me from their religious perspective. It's the thought and intent that counts.

I cant speak for anyone else, but your comments do not/have not offended me in anyway, but thank you for thoughts.

Re: my mum
I'am very sorry too about your loss 
I was five month pregnant when my mum died last year... it was very hard for me too. I take solace in thinking that she watches down on us and gets to see her grand children everyday which is something she could not do when the atlantic seperated us. It helps me to talk to my baby and tell her about her grandma... I also give her hugs and kisses and tell her that they are from grandma.
My condolances to you both.
