Thank you so much for your message and as yourself, I still feel the pain as if it was yesterday. I will never get over losing my mother, but l have "adjusted" to life one day at a time. This might sound crazy, but there are times when I wish I was with her, because I don't want to live without my mom. I won't do anything foolish, but in my heart, I look forward to the day, when she will come get me and show me the way.
There are times when I want to go to the cemetary at night (15 min. away) and I just want to lay next.
I am also very sorry for your loss, we all understand here and we are her to support you also, when you get those "moments".
p.s. I still can't talk about her without getting the lump in my throat and teary eyed. I don't ever want to forget that she continues to live within me. God bless and thank you.
I came here to this forum as I was having a hard day with my own loss. My mom has been gone for 14 years now. I still feel the pain of this even though I know it shouldn't be fresh anymore. So I read your posts and feel your pain as it is just like my own. I know it is a testament to what a great mother I was blessed with (and you) to feel the pain so intensly. I wish it upon no one but would never trade the love I had for my mom. It is a catch 22. I have a husband now and two kids who ask me about her. Maybe someday I'll be able to talk about her without a lump in my throat. Anyway I'm sorry for the loss of your mothers and wish us all peace.
p.s. on the day your mother died, my mom was being buried (23rd) Sad isn't. May they both rest in peace.
My mother died July 19, 2007 and it's been a difficult journey. I still can't believe that my mother is dead. It's still surreal and there isn't one day that doesn't pass that I don't think of my mom with great sadness. She just became a brand new grandma on the 21st. Bittersweet. Mom died on the 19th and my new little niece was born the same month on the 21st.
You understand exactly what I feel, because we both loss or mothers day's apart. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and I'm very sorry for your loss also (I invite you to click on my name "Judy246" and see mom grave and her new baby grandaughter that she will never see grow up. Baby Caitlyn looks just like her. She has her round face, nose and toes. God bless.
July 23rd was the 2 year anniversary of my mom's death as well. Sher passed away suddenly in Yosemite where she worked. We were visiting her and found her that horrible morning on the floor. Gone.
You never don't miss them. You just get used to the absence I guess, would be the best way to put it.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. 6 months is so recent and I sending you a hug. Your mother was so young. 50 yrs. old is still young, so it makes it that much harder. There is not one day, that I don't think about my beautiful mom.
Caitlin, just remember that you are an extention of your mother. You are her legacy and that is something that death can never take away. Death can not take away the eternal love that you both have for each other that goes beyond this life....remember that she is only a transition away and one day in God's time when He will call on you, your beautiful mom is going to come running to you from the gates of heaven and be the guiding light and show you the way. God bless!
