Argene, I am so deeply sorry that you had to lose your mom at so young an age. I lost my mom a month ago in a car accident, but I had her for 56 years. Not having her is exactly as you said, you feel like an orphan. It isn't any easier at my age, but I too am the one being strong for my dad and brothers and their kids. Our worlds have stopped and everyone else's is the same. I too feel the heaviness in my heart and emptiness in my soul every minute of every day, all the while people are expecting you to be the same or deal with it in some magical way, and there is none. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers - "God give us the strength to bear this loss."
I was abused by my father, luckily he left and my mother picked up the pieces and moved forward. She had to make up for all the hurt we both endured and she did. I really don't know how I can keep going on without her. It's been two years and I just feel like I am just waiting to join her. Going forward now would be leaving her behind and I can't do that.
My condolences Argene....losses like that are tough on a family, I know from my own experiences. I am sure you will rally together to support each other. I was with both of my Aunts when they passed and always had mixed feelings about those experiences, whereas I was not able to be with my Mom when she went and that really bothered me. No easy answers on this stuff.
Hello everyone, this is my first time sharing my story here. I lost my mom suddenly on February 25, 2013 at the age of 67. I always go back to that moment when I was holding her and she stopped breathing. I turn 30 in a few months and even though I still have my father and brother, somehow I feel like I'm an orphan. I try to be strong especially for my dad because I know he misses her terribly. I miss my mom every second of my life. I feel like a lot of people in my life do not understand how I feel. I cry everyday. The emptiness is unbearable. I feel lost without my mom.
Dr S Gh,
Thank you for your kind words too. I lost my mom suddenly, unexpectedly as well. I wish there was something we could do to ease this unbearable pain. I pray for us all everyday. God bless.
Thank you Cindy.
Beautiful picture Michael.
Jeff and Helder, so sorry we all have to share something so similar with both parents. Jeff, 8 years old, so young to loose your dad. Though it is not the same as being 8, I know my husband and his family longer than I knew my dad. 8 is so young, you know what happened but have no idea how to handle it. Going to the cemetery for the first time and seeing both will be hard, I will be thinking of you. My parents
headstone says "Together Forever" and that does bring me some form of comfort me when I go.
Shawna, so sorry you felt so sad. Sometimes that is what you need, to let it all out whenever you feel. Don't laugh, my "kids" are 20 and 17 and they would only do the egg hunt because of my mother. But this year, knowing it was the last time really hit them.
Karen, 6 months for me will be April 16 and I understand the hole in your chest and heart. I, as well as all of us I am sure, am dreading Mother's Day. I told my husband he gets the card for his mom this year and I want to be away for the weekend for mother's day. My son will be studying for finals but said he will try to meet us so I will have both my kids together for Mother's Dayl.
