Lost Without My Mom

My mom died, August 17, 2009 of an apparent heart attack from heart failure. Her doctors never told me how sick she was and so I was blown away and am heart sick and lost without her.

God saw you were getting tired
And it was not meant to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered,''come to me''.
With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you pass away,
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.wine

Thanks Dee Dee and Katrina, nobody knows the heartache of loosing a mother until they too have gone through it.Its something that words cannot explain, Its gonna be heard the next month with the anniversay of her death on may 4th, then her birthday the 16th of this month, she would have only been 46 years old.

It's Mothering Sunday this Sunday and I am dreading it. It's the first one without Mom. My heart went in my mouth a few weeks ago when I went in the card shop and seen all the cards. I got a card as I always do for my Husband off him and me. I spotted one to the side that said 'your like a Mom to me' which i personally bought for my wonderful Mom in Law and that helped ease the pain, however the day is nearly on us and I am staring to feel the loss of Mom not being here :o (

Hi Savannah,

My name is Dee Dee. I lost my mom almost two years ago (May 1st will be two yrs.). My  mom died suddenly at the age of 64 of a brain hemmorage. I was in shock for the first year...This year I am trying to work through the pain.

I have two kids to raise so a lot of the time my feelings take a back seat.

My mom was my best friend and the loss of her has been really devastating to me.

I know I will never be the same person. Every day is a new adventure in grief...

Give yourself time and do not judge your grief process. The one thing I have learned about this process that it is long and painful but somehow we manage to move on. I know that my mother would want me to continue on with life and make her proud.

My advise to you is to love yourself and continue on while allowing yourself to grieve. You are not alone in your pain. We are  here for you.

 

(((HUGS)))) Dee Dee

Yes, it was, she was only 45 years old. Some people who take advantage of their mother, hurt me so bad, because they really dont know what they have until it is gone.

I am so sorry for you loss. Savannah.  My mom was 70 years old when she died, and I still thought she was young. I know it must be devastating for you to lose your mom at 48.  I am 48 years old. I lost my mom January10,2011.  She was my best friend, whenever i has a problem i could talk to her, she would always listen to me and give me advice, and she always gave good advice.  Sometimes I miss her so much,  I feel a deep hurt. I cry a lot, and think of her often. Wishing you the best.

Let me start off by saying that its so nice to have a group like this to go to and talk about things..My name is Savannah, I am 20 years old, and I lost my mother on May 4, 2010. She was everything to me, although she had been sick for a while, it was very sudden, and just at the thought of not ever getting to hear her voice again, is like someone is stabbing me in the heart. Death has been a big factor in my life tihs year, 3 months after my mom died, my only grandpa who i was close with died in august, then my moms only brother died in january. With all the deaths it just brings back the feelings of the day she died. I dont understand how to move on and if I can, until someone has lost there mother, they will never understand, especially loosing her when i was only 19 years old. I remember the week before she died I called her and started crying and telling her that She had to get better, that I didnt wanna have to bury my mom at 19, she told me she didnt wanna die, and 1 week later she left me alone on this world. I dont know where to turn to or who to turn to anymore, thats why i joined this group hoping that somebody can tell me its gets better, because honestly I cant take it if it gets any worse.But i do have hope that I will see her again in heaven due to the dream i had about a month after she died. My mother was wheelchair bound the last 6 years of her life, and in my dream, I told her she could walk, and she said no, but when i turned to walk away, she said look baby i can walk now, dont worry no more..I think about that dream every day, hoping its a sign from her.

First off I would like to say I am happy that I now have somewhere to go to read and share my story with people that have lost their mom too.... I would like to say thank you for the creator of this page....Thank you for taking time out to read this. My name is Karon B. Porter I am 33 years of age from The Bronx. I have that average story with weight loss that everyone seems to have. However, what makes mines a little different from the rest is when I lost my mother at age 29. During this time, it was really hard for my family and me to understand the reason or reasons why she was chosen. She left this Earth at age 48 (That is a very young age) of a silent killer called heart disease. Something I knew could have prevented this from happening was being active. From that moment it was more of life change decision for me.

I am asking YOU.. to take care of yourself.... I workout everyday with p90x, Insanity, just to name a few... I am Teambeach body coach looking to spead the word of fitness on to those who will listen, and plant the seed in those who are not ready.... if you are interested in learning more please email me (karonbporter@yahoo.com) or visit my site...www.beachbodycoach.com/karonbporter

 

Thank you

I lost my mom December 8, right before Christmas....Christmas was awful, I was so depressed, I stayed in bed all day and let the day pass.....and missed her so....she still has not been buried...I put it off because of the extreme emotion and stress, I will need to soon....we had her cremated so it could wait.....hopefully I can deal with it and it wont restart the grieving over for me.....I should be ok, the last real conversation I had with her was on Thanksgiving day....I will never forget that....I still cant believe it all....I just keep thinking she is on vacation somewhere
Comment by Rachel Lynn Schuler on March 6, 2011 at 4:11am
I completely understand how you feel katrina.....I miss my mom too, and today is her birthday, but something weird has been happening with me....I guess the grief got to the point where now I dont feel much of any emotion, and in a way its a godsend, in another way I feel less of a person....but I'm glad to not feel that way....that was just horrible....I hear my mom's voice in my head, and me being sick recently, I kept saying, "I want my mom"....she was always so comforting....I also feel a void....I'm not the same and less of a person, but I am going on....she wants me to be happy, and I will find that as soon as I feel better, I havent been well recently, one thing after another.....I'm here katrina :)....and do understand

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
