I am so sorry. I just lost my mom to cancer a little over a week ago. She was also 55. Like your mom, she was so excited to be a grandma. She spoiled the heck out of my daughter for those first 2 years. I just don't understand why such loving, wonderful people are taken so young.

People just don't know when they say stuff, do they? I am so very sorry for the loss of your beloved mom and as you said, your "best friend in the whole world." Take care of you, be gentle with yourself.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers and I am sorry that I am so long in responding. I havent been on the computer much. I have been having some medical problems with my seizures and the stress related to everything. I think I was able to handle all of my other losses because I had some way to say good bye to them and that may sound strange.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers and I am sorry that I am so long in responding. I havent been on the computer much. I have been having some medical problems with my seizures and the stress related to everything. I think I was able to handle all of my other losses because I had some way to say good bye to them and that may sound strange. But I feel as though my son without even being able to tell him how much I loved him. I find that the pain is really starting to hit now and alot of the prolonged feelings have to do with my surgery and my immediate reaction to things. Once it has transfered to the right side of my brain I start to get the emotions that many deal with during the actual loss. Thank you again for the support and I hope that you are doing ok I know that you will never forget your loss but am hoping that you are able to function better and realize that your loved one will always be with you. hugs Shelly Maire My dad died 6 weeks ago.

My dad died 6 weeks ago. Despite kind of wanting to, I didn't speak up, so I never got to say goodbye to my dad, even if it was only his lifeless body. I feel sad about this. All I want is to to be woken up by his phone call. Right now, I am in a complete fog that I don't think I will ever recover from. I feel bad about showing emotion to others because I don't want to pull them into this and I'm not ready for therapy.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as well. My mom and I are both Christians and she told me the same thing...no matter what we go through...the Lord is always here with us...somtimes in our lives he has to carry us (live now) but he never leaves us or our loved ones. I agree with your Dad, there is no right or wrong way to grieve and your mom wouldn't be upset with you...she knows your heart and how much you love her and we are human so sadness and grief are a given when our loved ones…

I just finished reading a great book along these lines...its a fiction book that I would highly recommend you read (it almost sounds like your Dad could have written it!) so I know you will love it. It is kinda boring for the first 40 pages, but then it takes off. The man suffers a great tradegy in the book, but it reveals to you the love our Lord has for us and how he is always with us and loves us more than we could ever imagine. Its called "The Shack" by William Young. Read it if you can, it will really help comfort you and then we can discuss :) Nice to connect with you! Hugs and thanks for your words of comfort!!!!!

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my momma on November 11, 2009. I had never been without her. I still cry and grieve. I have had people in my own family tell me to buck up. Mom wouldn't want you to be so sad. I was growing angry and withdrawing from those who should be supporting each other no matter where we were in the grief process. One day I crawled in by my dad and let the dam break. I cried until I couldn't cry any more and he held me close and told me something that I will always keep…
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my momma on November 11, 2009. I had never been without her. I still cry and grieve. I have had people in my own family tell me to buck up. Mom wouldn't want you to be so sad. I was growing angry and withdrawing from those who should be supporting each other no matter where we were in the grief process. One day I crawled in by my dad and let the dam break. I cried until I couldn't cry any more and he held me close and told me something that I will always keep in my mind and I would like to share it with you. He said, "Honey everyone grieves in their own way and in their own time. It is ok to feel the feelings. Just remember the Great Comforter is always with us. Don't be ashamed that you are still hurting. Take it one step at a time and realize that we are all individuals. Take it as it comes, but remember you are a beloved daughter of our Father in Heaven. Do what you can and give the rest to the Lord." Maybe it sounds trite, but I hope you can find some comfort in these words. I still miss my mom and I know I always will. For now I am trying reach out to those in need and let my mom's memory live on by paying it forward to others. It seems to help me. Best wishes and hang in there. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I am familar with how you are feeling. My mom passed away at the end of July and I have yet to even start to recover from that loss. I am an only child who never knew her father, so my mom was everything to me; mother, father, sibling and best friend. She wasnt ready to go and I certainly wasnt ready to let her go, but unfortunately, the cancer had different plans.<br />
I too feel the incredibly, overwhelming sadness and hope to one day figure out what my life will be without her.<br />

Hi Ginnie-<br />
I know what you mean about hibernating. I seem outgoing on this website, but have turned my phone off and stopped answering calls. I just can't stand the "how are you doing question" and then all the comments like time will heal it and soon you won't miss her as much. You are blessed to have had your parents for so long, but it doesn't make the loss any easier...they are our parents and we loved them so much. My mom and I prayed for 20 more years, so she would have been 75, but it…

Thanks so much elva. I am trying to take things one day at a time, the grief seems to come in waves. I'll be ok and then all of a sudden, I am a total mess and am breaking down. I appreciate the virtual hugs :)<br />

Oh my gosh, I am sorry you have been through much. This is the first loss I have suffered and it feels like my heart has been ripped out. I can't beleive all the people you have had to lose. I know there are no words that I can write or say to make you feel better, but you should be proud of all you have accomplishend and the attitude you have considering all you have been through! Please know that you are in my prayers! Hugs (((())))) K
