Yesterday was 2 months since she passed. I had a dream the night before that she was sitting across from me, in her housedress (LOL) telling me that she had fallen, but had been lost and could not find me; I then gave her a big hug. I woke up in tears from that one...eh, if only she were still here. Not enough hugs in the world. Having said that, I'm starting to feel a bit better (marginally) and I hope I can get through the next 2 months (Mother's Day, birthdays, Fathers Day). Miss you Ma.
Miss her so much today. Wish I could still hear her voice and touch her face.
Funny, I was thinking about the cremation issue this morning, wondering if I'd feel better w/her ashes nearby. Mom already had the burial plot purchased, so it is moot, but there is something comforting about having the remains nearby. PS...My Mom's favorite dog passed away in 2010 and I had her cremated. I keep her urn in my bedroom, with a picture of my Mom nearby. And, I do talk to her urn now and again! I had seriously considered putting her ashes in Mom's casket, but, I really like having them. They don't feel so far away.
My mom always thought of me, even when she was dying. Cremation is against our religion but my mom wanted to be cremated so I could keep her ashes at home with me. Now I can buy her flowers every week and hold her ashes when I miss her so terribly my heart aches. When I die, we will be placed together for eternity. It's comforting having her here with me. Mom, you are always looking out for me. I love you beyond words can say.
I am wishing I could just go to sleep and wake up in June because I cannot take all of the Mother's Day emails, advertisements, cards, etc. etc. It's not that I don't want to celebrate my mom - I love her and I celebrate her every day. But, It just makes me so depressed knowing that she is not here to share the day with and I am bitter towards those people who have their moms. My mom's birthday is also in May. We do a party each year on/around her birthday as a celebration of life. It brings me and my family a lot of joy to do that.
The worst part of Mother's Day is that the friends don't really call anymore. The first year I got a lot of calls and emails on that day. But, then the following year - one person reached out to me. ONE! This will be the third year and I am sure the same one person will reach out, but none of my other friends will.
I don't go anywhere near the greeting card aisles in stores. I have a two young children and I have no desire to celebrate mother's day. I do not live close to my mom's resting place, so I can't visit her grave. I will probably just stay in bed that day. I miss my mom soooo much! What I wouldn't give just to have a conversation with her. It's been eight months and I still remember very clearly my last day with her. I'm still full of tears!
We can still celebrate our moms.
God bless everyone.
Yes, Mother's Day is coming and I'll likely plant some nice geraniums at Mom's grave; she really liked those. I had to stop for a greeting card last night and I totally avoided the Mothers Day cards...I couldn't bear it. Not to mention her birthday is in May too. It's all very hard to deal with right now.
My condolences to everyone. I can relate to a little of what everyone is going through. it has been 6 months since my mom passed away. still very very sad and I miss her so much.
