I have said that I have left my mom's room the way it was when she left for the hospital December 23 2010.  I frequently spray her perfume around the room and then I curl up in her bed and cry.  I also pat on some of the powder she used just to find a second of comfort.

I am so glad you posted a picture of your mom on here Judy.  What a wonderful way of honoring her and sharing her with us.  I have to find my moms picture and will share too!

I've got better photos of my mother, but this one was accessible. You can't see her gorgeous green eyes:

Reading the comments that have been posted since I've been gone is just heart-wrenching. We are all in so much pain, and some of the wounds are still so fresh. Even those who've been without their moms for over a year are suffering. I wish I had some words of encouragement to offer; even if I did, they would probably not be soothing enough to make the pain any less... I went through my mother's make-up and hair stuff, plus some shoes & purses when I was staying with my father during/after his surgery. I knew he was having a hard time facing that chore. Poor man. He just fell apart. And after I'd gotten him settled down, I fell apart. With every item of Mother's that I touched, I could see her looking so beautiful and then see how she looked as she lay dying. It's such a cruel juxtaposition of images. She always thought she wasn't pretty, but she was. I don't know how I'm going to be able to unpack all of her things, either. I brought so much of it home.  And there are still her clothes & jewelry to deal with... Casey is turning out to be quite a handful. The adoption agency over-estimated his age by quite a lot. He needs intensive training as well as the company of other dogs. He has abundant energy, and I do not!

P.S. I love the name "Fawnfeather," it's very beautiful.

I am turning 60 in August.  I gave up looking for a soul mate twenty years ago. I just went ahead and lived my life.  My mom raised me alone after my dad left and we both have spent our lives struggling.  My mom was so worried when she died.  She knew how hard it is to be alone in this world.  I told her I would come to her as soon as possible.  She smiled.  Because she knew, because our only purpose was to keep the other going, she would understand how it is so hard for me to live day after day.  I have seen a therapist and gone to groups and when I tell my story people tell me they don't know how I go on either.  So, I don't want to be mean but for some, life can truly be very cruel.

It's been a week now since my mom passed away. Now the healing begins...I am struggling in my mind that she didn't tell us she was so sick up until a month before she died. She had end stage lung cancer with metastatic pleural effusion. She thought it was the flu. She never did complain or want to be a burden but I feel so sad it hurts

My hearts go out to all of you for your loss . I feel your pain also.  I was the primary care giver to both my parents and miss them both terribly.  My dad passed away 4 1/2 years ago and I just lost my mom on June 23rd. My mom, lived with us and I still havent been able to go through her clothes and am not ready yet.  Unless you lose a parent, no one can understand the sadness and numbness you can feel.         I have been meeting with a grief counsellor and that is helping however, grief just takes time. I know in my heart, what gets me through is knowing that both my parents would want me to go on with my life. My mom, was an amazingly strong woman and fought to the end, I had to make so many tough decisions without much family support at all. I am so so blessed to have have a great network of friends, my husband and my daughters.  I am now griefing for my dad also . There are days when i can think about my parents and smile, then Wow, something will trigger and I am crying.  I am so so happy that I was able to have a great relationship with both my parents and I do talk to them all the time . Everyday gets slightly easier knowing my mom, isnt in pain anymore. My amazing twin daughters who are almost 7, miss my mom terribly and It has hit my older twin very hard. She  finds comfort going into my moms room everyday and wearing her clothes to bed . Everyday she kisses my moms picture and saids I know you hear me Grandma and I am so happy you are back with pa pa again !!!!
