Melissa-I still pay for her cell phone plan just so I can call it and hear her voicemail..she's been gone for 7 months. I need to cancel it but, I haven't been able to. I think I would feel guilty when I do it. So silly, I know.

Dear Everyone,

We are all experiencing the empty feeling of our mothers passing.  Thursday will be six months since my mom passed away.   I love you Mom.

I had to cancel my mom's cell phone plan today. I had to fax a note saying my mom had passed. It was something so simple yet so sad. This shouldn't be happening.

Jeff, what a nice surprise when you opened your parents wedding album.  I bet they shared many happy times opening their wedding album together.  Same with me, my parents were married in 1947 and I was diagnosed as a tumor.  My mom was told she could not have children!  Glad you were able to see photos of your parents being happy!!!

Jeff -- I don't think it matters how old we are when our mothers die. It hurts just the same. I was so fortunate to have 65 years with my mother, who died unexpectedly at age 86. I realize that people who  live that long had a good run at life, so it's natural for them to leave after so long. But you're just never prepared to be without them. Even though you are happy that your mother is free from Parkinson's, you've had a lifetime of sharing things with her and now she's gone. We only get one mother. My condolences to you. I'm glad you've joined us here.

The old photos make me smile too; happier times to remember.  I found my Mom & Dad's wedding album.  When you open it, it plays Here Comes the Bride...what a hoot.  Can't believe the battery works!  They got married in 1950!  I did not come along until many years later...LOL! But it was a real trip back in time and I enjoyed seeing all of my family from days past, young and healthy.  Sadly, very few of them are still with us, but it was so nice to see everyone so happy.

When dad died in 1981 mom kept a few of his things, they are now part of the memories I have kept from her.  She had begun to clean out her house after her brother passed away 10 years ago.  I was his executrix and she saw what I had to go through when selling his house and didn't want me to do that again with her.   I know she would have been happy that I folded and kissed all her clothes as I packed them for her neighbor to send to Poland.  Mom was Polish and would be happy her clothes were sent to people who would appreciate them.  I sent as much as I could of her things there.  This was her best friend who I gave them to to send to her family.  She asked if she could take a few items to remember mom by and we both cried.  I have most of her belongings in a room in my house and still have the basement to go through.  My heart goes out to all of you who have to go through this.  I hung her coat and my dad's coat in my closet and that is where they will stay.  I wish I could keep her house, but can't afford two homes.  I did smile going through some photo albums I brought home today.

We went through my moms things and it was so difficult! I'm having some blankets made from her clothing and the rest I put in boxes, not knowing what I was going to do with it. The next day I noticed the boxes were gone. My dad brought it all to Goodwill. I did get the clothes I wanted for the blankets but I wasn't ready to get rid of the rest. I still kept her coats hung up in her closet. Maybe I'll wear them someday. I also kept her shoes, even the ugly ones. Lol we have the same shoe size so I have wore some of her shoes. When I look at her stuff, I feel like I have a memory with every item. I'm sad all the time. I cry everyday.

Yeah, I'm going thru Mom's stuff too, taking one room at a time.  It's an emotional struggle.  And, I'm also finding stuff that my Mom kept from my Dad, who passed back in 1976.  Doubly depressing.  But, this is life...it comes to an end and sadly, we all must leave our "stuff" behind.  Thankfully, my Mom was not a pack rat and had gotten rid of a lot of junk several years ago before she became incapacitated from the Parkinsons.  Still, it's an awful lot of stuff, and there are memories everywhere :-(

Michael, thank you.

Nancy, I know exactly how you feel.  All you want is your mother to walk through the door.  You would give anything not to have to be going through what she left behind.  No thing will ever replace your mom.   I am sorry.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
