Today I was reminded by a well meaning grief buddy that it is another 11th which is the day my beloved mother left this earthly plane. Although the gesture is appreciated, I would not have wanted to be reminded as now I think of this day as the day my Mom went to our real Home which is the spiritual realm where all there is, is peace and love. Mom is with my father, and her own Mom whom she lost at 11 months old. There is that number again. How fortunate I am to have had a mother as wonderful as she, and to have complete faith that she continues loving me, helping me, protecting me, counseling me from above and when it is my time we shall be together again. God is the anchor, in my case as a Catholic it is Jesus Christ, as well. I respect all religions, and tell you to dwell into your spiritual roots as that is where the answers are, and the strength. 

Of course I miss my mother on a daily basis, I am human. But, it is my priority to stop having a pity party for ever, think of her first, not always about "the little me" and honor my parents the best way I can.

Have faith, you too will feel this way in due time. Let go and let God work through you to the point of acceptance and inner peace.

Hello everyone. It's 4 and half months since my beloved ma(indian word for mother) passed away. I experience 2 different states of mind. Half the time I'm in shock and disbelief and the other half her suffering haunts me and I weep and grieve for her. The last one year of her life was full of pain, suffering, several hospitalisations, a heart attack, a fall, several TIA's . She was the most wonderful person. We used to call her our flawless diamond because she did'nt have one negative trait. No anger, no ego, no malice. A truly pure, noble , kind beautiful soul , a great human being. I can't wrap my head around how much she suffered. I'm an Indian , A Hindu and we are always taught that if you do good karma , you will be blessed but this theory has been turned on its head. My ma had an incredible bank of lifelong good karma and yet she suffered so much. Her pain and suffering causes me such deep anguish. I've lost interest in life. Don't feel like going on. Why do the great souls suffer so relentlessly?.

Rachel  thank you for sharing the scripture sometimes a few words mean so much. I am sending you lots of hugs and prayers and hope everyone on here finds comfort just knowing that we can relate to one anothers feelings. Today was rough for me from the time I woke up I felt so lost. Its only been 6 weeks but I feel like everyday gets harder. I miss her hugs and her voice:( I feel like everyone around me thinks I am going crazy. I am not the same anymore I feel like I am just going through the motions with no purpose. Is it something others feel? My mom was my rock and she got me through so much. Sometimes I wonder how life will ever be ok.

this has been a hard day for me with the passing of my mother 3 years ago today, but I'm making it....and I'm reading my bible, it helps me so....I hope you all find comfort my friends

for those of you who are grieving i want to share this with you it might give you comfort, i read it every day, i usually dont quote scripture, but this is called the beatitudes and i think it will help you on your journey through grief....it brings me comfort

blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kindgom of heaven
blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted
blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth
blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled
blessed ar the merciful, for they wil be shown mercy.
blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
blessed ar the peacemakers, for they will
be called children of God
blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs
is the kingdom of heaven
blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me, rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you

there are beatitudes in Luke also....Luke 7 if you want to look it up, but I think this might help some people in here, I know it brings me comfort every day....I'm not preaching to you, just trying to help, it helps me :)

Hi Friends,

I read this poem at the ceremony to mark the one year anniversary of my mom's passing (December 5); I thought I'd post it here:

If I should die and leave you here awhile,
be not like others, sore undone, who keep
long vigils by the silent dust, and weep.
For my sake, turn again to life and smile,
nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do
something to comfort weaker hearts than thine.
Complete those dear unfinished tasks of mine,
and I perchance may therein comfort you.

A. Price Hughes & Mary Lee Hall
