My sister has a voicemail from my Mom wishing her a happy birthday but my phone is new so I have nothing. My computer also crashed several months ago and I lost all my pictures. All I have are a few from last Thanksgiving and Christmas because she hated having her picture taken. My cousin lamented that he will be glad when all the technical details are taken care of because he feels like it's been months but for me it still feels like yesterday! It hasn't even been a month yet and he's asking if my mother had jewelry set aside for his stepdaughter which infuriated me but I bit my tongue. My Mom is gone and he is thinking about her jewelry. UGH!
I don't have a voicemail of my Mom but I do have a video of her talking in the background about my Cairn Terrier, Toby. It's about 25 seconds long..I haven't been able to listen to it, but I'll always cherish it! I feel like the days get harder as well, instead of easier!
Jennifer, Cynthia,
I can relate to what you are saying. People just think you should "get over it'. Well, not so easy, even though my Mom was elderly. On one level, I think because I had her longer than expected, it's somewhat harder, if that makes any sense. I was used to having her around. And, my relationship w/my Mom was challenging, even infuriating at times, but to say that she should've died sooner? that's really messed up. Re: voice messages, I'm also hanging onto one from the day before my mom passed. 12 seconds long. that's all I have left.
Strength, healing and good thoughts, I wish for all of us. It's just hard.
I want my mom too
Emily, oh exactly! I think I knew how people were before but I really became aware of how rude they can be after she passed, and that has been the majority of the people that I have come in contact with. Telling me to get over it about three weeks after her passing..what the crap! That's my Mom, I'll never 'get over it.'
Cynthia, wow that's really sad! But she will regret it when it happens to her! I didn't have the best relationship with my Mom, I never wished for her to die, but it was rocky and I regret that and I probably will for the rest of my life. My whole perspective has changed since she left, I understand now where Mom was coming from and things like that..I wish I knew then, what I know now. Things would have been A LOT different!
And of course there are people who you would think would be compassionate and get what you are going through and cut you some slack but for whatever reason, they just have to be "the mean" girl. No one on here, of course, just have discovered how cruel people can be, seems I'm more aware of that now that my mom is gone. I hope that makes some sense.
I understand that Hannah, I am so empty without mine to! It's not the same anymore! I couldn't agree more Emily!
