Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Virginia, do you think I feel any joy right now? I don't. But I think about how much my mom loved me and how much it would hurt her if i harmed myself. She could not have led a happy life if she knew that was in my future. She would have held…"
Virginia G commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"There’s no joy without her and I wouldn’t want any.
its the only answer"
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Virginia, you so often end your posts with something ominous. You are trying to say something and it is coming across loud and clear. Don't wish yourself dead. Try to live while you're alive. Find joy where you can. Never give up."
Virginia G commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Some songs have popped into my head for no reason but that are appropriate. I don’t even listen to the radio anymore so it’s not like I heard them recently. I wasn’t trying to think of songs either. First it was I…"
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"I love the Doors. Jim Morrison is just the coolest. And I love that song. It's about feeling alone in a crowd. I can relate.
Virginia, why would God tell you that you deserve to be alone? I think it is quite the opposite. You are telling…"
Virginia G commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"I am realizing the only people that truly love me are my family.
So how am I expected to live without them?"
Virginia G commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"I am thinking God is trying to tell me I deserve to be alone.
Theresa I know the Doors but don’t like them. Im old.
And I think the penny was from your Mom.
Brett, I liked your line, “honking load of crap”.
And…"
Theresa commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Avi I believe when you are talking to God your mom hears you she is right there.
I also do not get any signals, but pay closer attention.
I was praying to her one night because someone close to me is not well, and I said please mom help, please ask…"
Avi commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"I also talk to God now at my home or in temple. It makes me feel that I am talking to my mom.
I did not receive any signals which make me feel that my mother is nearby but I still believe that she can listen me. "
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Theresa, I wish I could go to church with you. Church is very emotional for me. It's a combination of sadness and a feeling that I am close to my mom there. I cry a lot at church. Not out loud, but I try to sit in the back now. I don't…"
Avi commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"know that one day we shall meet again.These lines motivate me to live. Thanks Theressa. Just install Skype app in your mobile if you use smart phone and then add me as a contact. Rest is very simple. "
Theresa commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Avi I think you are doing great, better than I was at the point you are at, but you have a new child that helps you put your attention on. You seem to be very kind, I don't know how to skype if I did I would lol
Brett, yes I am going…"
Avi commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Yes Brett rightly said, people around us will not understand the grief or guilt.
Virginia, this was unfortunate but a bit hilarious as well. I can understand how hard that lady would have tried to convince you but all futile. "
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Virginia, every one of us is that person. All my life I was the funny kid in school and at work. I've heard it my whole life, "You don't have to entertain me." What a honking load of crap that was. When the jokes dried up, the…"
Virginia G commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!" Today I texted a lady from bereavement group and asked what she was doing. I was going to ask if she wanted to get something to eat. She mistakenly sent me a text that was intended for her boyfriend. She told him that she…"

~I lost my sweet Mom 6-8-09. In 2006 we found out that she had breast cancer, she had surgery and radiation. Everything was good for awhile. Then in August of 2008 we found out that it was in her Liver, Gall Bladder, Bile Duct and Lymph Nodes in the central part of her chest. She had surgery to remove everything that could be safely removed. In Sept she got a Staph infection and we almost lost her. November, she started Chemo....She was 2 treatments away from being finished with chemo when we found out that she was in Acute Renal Failure (5-19-09), two days later we found out that her Liver had failed and that there was nothing left that they could do for her. She died June 8, 2009 at 1:10pm.

Sue Waxman said… Karen,
I work up this morning...and thought "what a bummer". I really have no meaning to my life. My mother has been gone 3 weeks Monday. Cancer...that murderer of our loved ones. She was my darling mom. Without my faith..I would just kiss this thing we call life goodbye. This site and all of you have been almost my sole support. I pray a lot. I miss her. I hope you are going to have a decent day today. I will try. Mustering up the energy and desire to do something normal like go to the movies. XO Sue

Karen,
I am a 26 year old dental hygiene student and mother of a little girl who is almost four. Last Dec. my Mom was diagnosed with Stage IV Ovarian Cancer. We lost her this past summer. She was only 49. I felt like I was the only young girl who lost her mom--until I joined this community. It is so hard, and I miss her so much. Sometimes I think im ok and can see a future for myself and my family, and sometimes I cant hardly get out of bed. I hope you and your family are well.

Kirstine Rushing said… - HI Karen-
I am sorry about your mom too. I just lost my mom on Jan 22 and I am only 32 years old, young like you. We never expect to lose our moms this early in life. Its just horrible! I miss her so much and it hasn't even been a month yet. We are best friends! K

Katherine Ellis said… - Karen I am so sorry you just lost your Mom. It's been a few years for me but I think about my Mom everyday and say hello to her. My husband had cancer 3 yrs ago and they said he was "cured". Now he is having liver problems and I'm scared the cancer may be back. We just never know what life will deal us. Hang in there and know that you are in my prayers and thoughts.

Jonnie Russell said… - I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom when I was 18 years old. Then a Sister, a Brother, my Father and recently my Brother to cancer. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of them all. It has been 26 years since I lost my Mom. Take comfort in knowing that the memories you have of her or of the two of you together now will one day lead to smiles instead of tears...

- I am so sorry for you. I also lost my mother on 10/16/08, father on 12/5/08 and my grandmother on 5/29/09. My mother also had bial duct cancer. It is really hard losing so many of your loved ones in a short period of time. My daughters are 24 & 19 and the family is having such a hard time with this. We miss them so much.

Virginia G posted a discussionWhat’s the point
Whats the point of living if there’s no happiness? If you don’t care about anything except being with the person you lost...if everything is meaningless...if you can’t stand the pain or the numbness...if you don’t belong anywhere..if everything feels wrong...if you have no idea what to do about it...if you can’t get through the daySee More

Kristen Harlow replied to Kristen Harlow's discussion Feeling alone"Such a good question.
No, probably not. I've finally come to the place where I have accepted that I have to accept it's over. That feels like a big step."
bluebird replied to Kristen Harlow's discussion Feeling alone"That is a lot of shit to deal with, all at once. It's good your sister is ok now.
If the man who you feel is your best friend and the love of your life were to come back now, do you think you would be ready to be with him now?"
bluebird commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."morgan,
As usual, I identify so much with your post.
As you said, by burying our soulmates we buried ourselves. Why can't people understand that? If I had a child with my husband, I would feel some pull to live for that child. I felt that…"
