My condolences to you Sandy; it must be hard, I can't imagine. My uncle was killed in a head on auto collision many years ago. My family was devastated. My prayers for you and your family.
I am suffering along with the rest of you. My mom's death was sudden and traumatic two weeks ago. She was killed in an auto accident - hit by a semi. I just don't know how to be in the world without her. I miss her so much. So many of you here have shared so much and each bit has helped to try to make sense of the life I knew that is now over. May the Lord give us all the strength to bear these horrible losses.
today was tough; went to Mom's house to start cleaning out her bedroom. moved out all her medical accessories: wheelchair, commode, walker, bathing seat. I just lost it all the way around. then her neighbor came to talk to me as she only found out recently that Mom had passed. More tears. Why is this so damn hard? I tell myself it's a house, not a memorial, but just walking in there w/out Mom present brings me to tears. but, I must move forward and do what needs to be done.
Today was the 1 year mark. I think I did remarkably well! I took 11 red balloons to moms grave, tied one to her shepherds hook and released the other 10 and watched them disappear into the clouds. I placed 10 red carnations in her vase and one on the stone. As I turned to leave I tearfully said, "I love you mom" and turned around and the red balloon I had tied to her shepherds hook was gone-I looked towards the sky in all directions and could not find it flying anywhere. I guess she wanted a balloon! I love and miss her so much, but know she is "home" with God and with all her brothers, sisters, mom and dad, and friends who went before her. I am hoping that as I enter this next year that the grief will weaken and that I can remember to rejoice in her life and in the fact that I was lucky enough to have her as my mom.
I love you mom so much....I will never forget you....gosh this is so hard.....
hi everyone, today is particularly difficult, well, im having physical pain, but im real upset about my mom....she passed 2 years ago, but it was her birthday recently, and the pain is still fresh....gosh I miss her so bad....its so hard.....but I have to let it go because its causing me to be sick.....its so hard.....
Dear Melissa and Jeff,
My condolences. You are not alone.
God Bless
I've also been spending time going thru old photos thinking of better times when my Mom was younger and healthier, back to when my Dad was alive and I was a kid...those are the things I try to remember right now. Time passes so fast....Even though I could not be w/my Mom when she passed I believe she knew that I loved her and would do anything for her. The next few months are tough w/Easter and Mother's Day and Father's Day. My parents b-days were in May as well and I lost 2 other close family members in May. Summer can't get here fast enough.
I suffer because as my mom's death was sudden, I didn't get to say goodbye. One moment everything was normal, (she was recovering from surgery) and then the lives we had were over.
I find myself thinking about my childhood these days. About when my mom was pregnant with me. I look at old pictures, and wonder what she was feeling when the pic was taken. I never went through them when mom was here. Now they are all I have left and I cling to them. I have a few in my purse and when I'm at work I look at them.
I'd also wish my life had a rewind button. Or at least, a fast forward one, it's hard to think of all the years to come without mom!
