"I was thinking about this today. If I could have my mom back for just one month I would dote on her till the cows came home. The truth is my mom wouldn't have liked that. She didn't like to be doted on. At the end she was very appreciative…"

I just wrote this, it's rough but captures how I feel just about now:
For all the smiles and laughter,
You gave me through the years,
The love and tenderness,
Hugs & kisses fierce.
I'm grateful that I had
Those 10 glorious years;
So sad they had to end,
Anguished you're not here.
I lit a candle for you darling,
I've cried a thousand tears,
So merry friggin Christmas
And a miserable new year.

I miss you more and more each day;
The pain will never go away.
You left me here all alone;
And now I have an empty home.
I miss your laugh, I miss your smile;
I miss your sweet face all the while.
Each day I cry and long for you;
I don't know what the hell to do.
Come back to me my sweetest friend,
Can you feel my heart again?
Please come back and make me whole,
Heal my empty, broken soul.

How many times can your heart shatter?
...
How many pieces can it possibly become?
How many times can it be torn apart?
Before its beat stops its thrum.
A Thousand pieces it breaks into
A million more to come
A thousand pieces shatter again
Since you were called back home.How many times can your heart shatter?
How many pieces can it possibly become?
How many times can it be torn apart?
Before its beat stops its thrum.A million pieces, sparkling like glitter
Slowly fall to the ground.
Ash to ash and dust to dust
To you I'm forever bound.How many times can your heart shatter?
How many pieces can it possibly become?
How many times can it be torn apart?
Before its beat stops its thrum.By C.E.S.Haynes

Eternity it feels like,
Will pass before I see
Your sweet, loving face
And in your arms I'll be.
So soft a hand you'd say
Held by one so strong.
Now is held by nothing.
Through a life that seems so long.I know I have my children.
My friends I hold so dear.
But there's no one to stand with me
Through my Golden Years.By C.E.S.Haynes

I kneel beside your gravesite
And begin to shake my head...
How does a mother cope with
The truth her child is dead ?But there it is, plain as day
Deeply etched within the stone
My finger moves along the date
You left me here to mournA sigh escapes from deep within
The anguish in my soul
Imploring God for more time with you
His angels from me stoleYet I know it's all in vain
This wish to have you still
A part of me can't let you go
And probably never will...I place a rose next to your name
Brush away the errant leaves
Wrap my arms around my legs
And cry into my sleevesI sing you Happy Birthday
Trying to wipe away the tears
And swallow all my anger
Resenting the missing yearsI long to hear your laughter
We would've shared upon this day
And the quiet moments together
If only you had stayed...I stand because it's time to leave
Life beckons me far from you
But for me, I don't want to go
I don't want to face the truth...That you are never coming home
And begin shaking my head
Because I cannot cope with
The fact that you are....Eva

Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Virginia, our stories are very similar. I was my mom's caretaker as well. I was diagnosed with PTSD after she died. When we have PTSD we can turn just about everything into a worst case scenario. It is so easy to look back and question…"

Virginia G commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"And speaking of therapists, I have ptsd, and sometimes I feel like I don’t fully realize what happened. I sort of get numb at times and feel guilty about it. I asked my therapist if it means I don’t care about my Mom.…"

Andrew posted a blog postLost a great friend.
I recently received news that my best friend passed away from heroin laced with fentanyl at age 31 on jan 10th. I was in shock and felt like i was in a bad dream. I hadn't heard from him in almost 6 months and figured he was out slamming dope because in the past he would tend to avoid me and my mother (who was like a 2nd mom to him) because he didn't want us seeing him strung out and didn't want to ruin our relationship of trust. May 15th, i arrive home from a job interview and check facebook…See More

I want to let you know that everything you are feeling is normal even though it seems so difficult compared to what we thought we had and what we knew. The death of our spouse is the most difficult thing we will ever face, bar none.…"
Jen H replied to monty thompson's discussion My wife passed 5 days before christmas in the group Lost My Spouse..."Hi Monty, I lost my husband New Year’s Eve and have a 4 year old.

CYBERSIS commented on Ginger's blog post No Title"Really sorry for your loss. How awful to lose a child. I guess some people are really uncomfortable with grief and just don't know what to say. I know exactly the loss you feel. I lost my mother in October. I saw her and talked to her…"
