sometimes i am glad that my medication keeps me a little disconnected otherwise i would be crying all day everyday. I miss her so much but i know that she would be proud of me for making major adjustments in my life. I know that she is still cheering me on telling me that i can do this. I went two weeks without my meds and it was the most miserable two weeks i have had in a long time. My heart goes out to everyone in this group. I know what you are all going through.

Dear Michael

My Condolences to you.

Therapy really helped me after my wife passed away three years ago and on 9/28/12 my mom passed away and now therapy is about mom.  Therapy really helps and your friends can't help you too much, even though they say and want to.

God bless,

Mike

I miss my mom so much...My mom passed away on June 24...of complications after Pneumonia that led to a hypoxic brain injury...

so many unanswered questions... so much pain.. so much anger.. so much emptiness... and now the holidays are upon us...And then I have friends who tell me "Go see a therapist"... When yes I realize I should see a grief counseler.. which is why I have sought out this group..however I wish my friends would offer their ear.. and just listen.. and not turn me away..or resort to only virtual communication with me

Dear Jennifer,

My Mom passed away the day before your mom, on 9/28/12.  I was with my mom the night before she passed and I talked for three hours to her.  I read to her and I told her everything as I held her hand.  I apologized, I thanked her, I explained everything to her, what she meant to me and why.  she squeezed my hand a few times and i saw a tear.  I know she was telling me she loved me and was proud of me.  I think about my mom constantly, cry all the time.  i'm crying now.  she was an amazing mom, wife, grandma, nana, everything.   she survived polio at 11 years old and never complained.  i never heard her ever complain or feel sorry for herself that one leg was stiff.  she always encouraged all her children and everyone she knew, to be everything they could and to get everything out of life they could.  she was wonderful and i miss her dearly, just as you miss your mom.

it's okay to feel sad and cry, all that.  it's very okay.

love,

mike

Jennifer, you know what, you said the most important thing any child could say to their mother-"I LOVE YOU!"  I am a mom and I know if I was laying in a bed dying-those 3 words would be all I needed to hear.  Even though kids don't say it often, we know that they appreciate us and no matter what our children do, they deserve our love and we would do anything for them.  Don't feel guilty, what is important is you were there!  As for the crying-it is ok, my mom passed in March of this year and I still cry in private and in public.  When you think about it, your mom has only been gone a little over a month-that is not long enough to be through your grief and I am sure they understand and if they don't, well too bad for them!  Just make your mom proud by living your life as she would want you to!

I miss my momma so much!! She passed on September 29th, 2012 at the hospital. I'm very grateful that I was able to see her and speak to her before she died. I'm so glad that she was surrounded by her family as she passed. I still can't believe that she's not with us anymore. It's so  hard to go on. Every day I have to force myself not to call in sick at work. I cry a lot. I'm sure I've made other people very uncomfortable with my tears because I seem to cry whenever and wherever, in public or private. The first Sunday back at my home church they played one of the songs we chose for Momma's funeral. I couldn't sing along. I have a lot of guilt, too. I really wish I had said more to her while I had the chance, but all I could get out while she was lying in that hospital bed was that I loved her. I should have thanked her for everything she had done for me. I should have told her I appreciated how she loved me and was always there for me even when I didn't deserve it. There are so many things I should have said, but all that came out was that I loved her. I wish I could've had more time with her.

dear Mary,

My  condolences. 

I also cared for my mom.  I was devastated when she passed.  My brother has shown little emotion while I have been overcome with tears and sadness.  I spoke to my therapist and he will deal with it in his own way at his own time.  we shouldn't be concerned with others, but I do understand how you feel.  No one shares our grief.  no one understands how we feel, even when they say they do, and they probably feel something very close to what we feel.  don't let it bother you, they just don't understand and they are actually trying to make you feel better, they actually care, but don't understand what to do or say, because there is nothing anyone can do or say, that makes us feel any better.

Love,

MIke

My mom was so loving and anyone that met her loved her.  Children in stores were drawn to her.  There are many who were not her biological children who called her mom. I never had a problem with that and I am sure that they grieve too, but a few have said lately that she was their mom too and they grieve the same as me.  I don't think so and it kinda makes me mad when they say stuff like that. They have/had their own mom and there is no way they can feel the pain I feel.  I was closer to her then anyone.  I took care of her, I loved her immensely.  I feel petty, but it just makes me so mad sometimes.  They just don't get it.
