Moms are special people.  all of our Moms were special.  we all miss our moms and feel the same emptiness without her.  God bless our Moms and the moms of everyone.

Hi everyone. I don't visit this site often these days since my computer time is limited except for work. Mary, I love your wonderful comments. And I will second this thought; the holidays are the worst. Worse of all, this weather really gets me down. These days; I live only to take care of my little girl, Michelle. If not for her, this world seems like a brutal place. I know we can all find something to keep us going.

Thank you Judy, I really appreciate that!! I've been experiencing gratitude and grief at the same time, if that makes sense..I'm very thankful for the 22 years I had with her and everything that she taught me but at the same time, the missing her is overwhelming.

I am 51 years old, started going to church when I was in my mothers womb, was raised listening to Bible readings and have read the Bible many times and yet today I had an epiphany about Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted."  I could not fathom what this meant and debated it's truths. I knew one side of the coin was that Jesus would be there to comfort us in our time of need, but I also realized that it also means that if we truly mourn someone then we must have known true love from that individual and were blessed to know them and should take comfort that we were blessed to have that individual in our life.  I mourn my mother's passing, yet I know in my heart that I was so...very lucky to have her in my life for 51 years, that she loved me with all her heart and unconditionally, and that I will see her again but for now I must be happy with my memories, with holding her in my heart, and be comforted knowing she was the best mom I could ever have!

To everybody,

I also am going through the same feelings with the holidays coming around. This will be my first anything without my beautiful precious mother. I am deeply dreading the thought of all the fall/winter festivities. Halloween I can deal with because we did not do much on halloween. Thanksgiving, christmas, NYE and my birthday fall right after one another. The day that I am really hating to see is my 27th birthday. My mom called me every year on my birthday and we did something every year. Last year when she was ill and in the hospital, I was actually on my way to see her for my birthday and I was on the highway and she callled and sang happy birthday to me and then she started to cry. I immediately pulled over on the highway because I preceeded to cry to but then I asked her why are you crying and she said becase this is the last time I will get to say it to you. And I told her no it won't and then I told her that I will see her in a few minutes because I was on my way and you could hear the smile in her voice. But when she got off of that phone I literally broke down to the point that I started to shake uncontrollably because i knew that was the harsh reality. So I hope everyone on here finds some type of comfort and coping mechanism to get through this time of the year because if I had control I would have remote to fastforward through all this sadness!

Signed,

Adult only child and Orphan!

Hello Friends,

I haven't been on in awhile. So many of you are new on this site. I lost my mom Nancy June 26, 2011. Still feeling the emptiness every single day. It never leaves you. You just adjust to it in different ways. I agree with you that the fall begins the sadness of living through and experiencing the holidays without them physically here. I only celebrate Halloween now. Thanksgiving I go and serve at a food pantry and Christmas I do not decorate or do that whole fun thing. Mom and I share Dec 19th as our birthday. I understand how you all fell. Sue

This does seem to be a really brutal time of year. I have no idea why I am being bombarded by meltdowns nearly everyday now. I guess it's what Sharon said about the holidays coming up, and my mother's birthday would be on the 19th. I'll be going up to stay with my dad for a while. He doesn't want to do anything special on her birthday; I had sort of wanted to cook steaks because that's what she loved to do. I have to honor his wishes, though.... Maybe you can think of that new life coming into this world as the completion of a circle, Sharon. Your new grandbaby coming on the day your mother left is sort of special in a way. But I know you want her there to share this with you. I don't think you should worry about your emotions on this upcoming occasion because they represent how you feel and your daughter might be able to comfort you. I hope so, anyway.

I just went through my first birthday without my mother, Jennifer. I won't gloss over it for you: It was painful to go through. It made it all so real -- again. But what I experienced a few days after was very touching, deep in my soul. I was brought to my knees in gratitude, not grief. I hope that happens for you, too. I'll be thinking of you.

I hate this time of the year  and  when sept ends and oct begains i start to have a melt down big melt downs, I hate the fall weather just becase when the end of oct hits , and then i'll be fighting the physically and emotionally break downs on nov 2nd. thinking back when  my mom passed away and how i still wished  she  was still  here with us  as  today.  it still scares me that my family doesn't stay intouch woth me no more and I am leaving in less then 15 days  to welcome my newest grandson into the world  and he will be born on the day when his great grandma ( my mom) passed away.  this is  going  to  be  even harder for me  to hold my emotions back from  my doughter and my son-inlaw and  3 yr old grandson. Oh my!  It  is  going to scare me but knowing  she  is going to be with me in sprit, I  miss  My mom.
