You are welcome, Eliza. Today is a tough day for you, I can imagine. And, your Mom is proud of you by honoring her by doing what she loved to do. It gives me comfort to know our Mothers are our Angels now loving, and guiding us as they used to. It is Eternal Love.
P.S. It does not mean that I will feel low tomorrow, it just means that in those moments when I have a glimpse at the mysteries that are beyond our understanding one can see below the surface of events. Highly recommend Eckhart Tolle's Teachings specially "Practicing the Power of Now". My Mother and I used to read some of his teachings every day, and it non-denominational.
Eliza, I still have to go thru most of my Mom's personal things. I started to months ago, and had to stop as I could not bear it. Because my mother and I shared a home, a good friend told me to wait until I had the strength to do it. Thus far I have not. I even have her purse which I put in a nice box, and not able to even open. Of course, you would almost feel guilty about having your mother's sewing box, it should be hers, and she should be here. This is where I am, as well. Our minds have not adjusted to the reality that they no longer are with us, they are now in Heaven with God.
We have to get the strength from somwhere Melisa. I am thinking all the time, reading, etc. We have to depend on God right now partially.
Don, thank you for sharing with us. I am very much like you, the same situation. We shared a home, and we were like one. Perfectly happy living in complete harmony.
I have lived of my own, but so grateful I got to spend as much time as I did before she left this world.
May God give is all the strength to go on.
Yes, Danny, that's one of the reasons why it's so hard to cope. We were very, very close. First time in my life I'm on my own.
The key is whether one has created some sort of an identity for themselves already prior to the loss. For example have you lived on your own before ? This helps to manage the grief of course it is not going to go away ever. Managing the grief is the key Melisa. One mistake I made was not to anticipate this at all. I didnt think of how I would manage this without my rock. Did anyone do this ? I have however lived on my own and made my own decisions. Plus I am reading a lot proactively now on how to manage.
Hi Donald. I also dread the thought of the rest of my life without Mom. It's so different now, I have to struggle to find little pieces of joy.
