Sue Toler commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"So glad you have your daughter. I was so close to my Dad & so many wonderful memories of time I spent with him. It has been over four months since I lost my Mom. I try to stay busy, but still have a lot of grief…"
Avi commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Hi All,
Hope everybody doing good. My daughter is growing up and keeps me busy but any day I sit and feel guilty of not serving my mother, I feel like crying. She should have enjoyed so much with her grand daughter but destiny had some other…"

I miss my Mom!
If you have that hole in your heart that you get when you lose the woman that you shared a body with....
Sue Toler commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Brett, thank you for your kind words. My Mom & I were so close & I wanted her to stay in her home & know she was taken care of. Her life resolved around my Dad, me & my brother. I am thankful I could be her…"
Avi commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"I also see her in dreams sometimes but when I wake up I hardly remember anything. Initially I was not able to sleep and used to wake up in nights but then life got busy in other things and I started sleeping properly.
Everybody of us hope to…"
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Something I have noticed is that the content of a dream may not be a big deal, but what you are feeling in the dream is where the power comes from. The dream I had was horrible. It was so short, but I had a sick feeling in my stomach throughout.…"
Sue Toler commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"I dream about my Mom & Dad & thankfully they are always good dreams that are comforting. An Aunt that I was close to is in a lot of the dreams with my parents. I have one sibling. He is never in the dreams of my parents. I…"
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"I rarely dream about my mom. When I do dream about her it is almost always bad. I had a horrible dream last night. It was very short. I was standing near the front door of my mom's house. I looked down to greet my dog. There was a little puppy…"
Avi commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Yes we have no choice but to live without our mothers. Grief and guilt will be there through out and some days will be really hard than others. Yesterday was pathetic for me as my father said something that really hit me. I hope to see my mother…"
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"I do not know how to live this life without my mother either, but if there is one thing that I have learned, it's that I have no choice. Life comes for you regardless of whether or not we want to be a part of it."
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"SelV, that really hit home with me. My brothers and sister were not around through my mom's illness. After she died, I tried to reach out to them. I should have known better. All I got was insults. It was horrible, and the timing of it could…"
Sue Toler commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Abbie, my heart breaks for you & your loss. My Mom was older when I lost her, but I know I was not ready. I was with her when she passed & it happened so sudden. You are not alone. I am thinking & praying for…"
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Yeah, you could lose your mom at 100 and it would still hurt badly. There is never a good time, and once they are gone, it's hard to take satisfaction in the fact that they lived so long because you can't hug them today. There is never…"
Avi commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"I was 31 when my mom died but it hardly makes any difference. The grief and guilt remains the same. "
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Abbie, I hope that you will continue to post here. I want to help if I can. I may have been a lot older when my mom died, but I sure felt like a little boy when she did pass. I was like a lost little boy who just wanted his mom. "

~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.

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.

- 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

- 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.

- 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.

I just wish that I knew the words that would make it all better. I don't. I'm still trying to figure it out for myself. All I know is that…"

"Hi M Adams,
Thank you for your kindness. Each year on his birthday I plant a tree or bush in his memory. Yesterday I bought this plague for my garden."
M Adams commented on Katherine Ellis's group Losing Someone to Cancer"Linda, hope your day is uplifted by beautiful memories of celebrations you shared with Julian. Do you have any special ritual or observance for his birthday? Acknowledging such days is challenging for me, yet I do want to honour them.…"
"Today is Julian's birthday. I miss him so much
Thanks for your post Morgan. You put into words what I have a hard time expressing."
morgan commented on Katherine Ellis's group Losing Someone to Cancer"Michael,
Wish I had an answer to: "just how are we Widows and Widowers supposed to pick up the pieces. ? I am battling my emotions every day, the mood swings are awful.."
I am not sure if I am really picking up the pieces.…"
"JO,
I read this each morning but it does not help. I just struggle through each day."
Michelle replied to Brett Bowman's discussion Are We Alone?"I was in the exact situation. But I was the one who offered help. But everything I did was wrong to my sister. And I stopped because of that. Your post made me see her side of it. My mom died this year. My sister only cuses me out. She won't…"
M Adams commented on Katherine Ellis's group Losing Someone to Cancer"Michael, just wondered if you would ever be interested in something like a book club?

"Michael,
After 7 years I still remain lost and I know I will be until my Husband and I are together once again. As in the Serenity Prayer, God can not grant me serenity to accept things I cannot change. I just try to live each day."
" I am at my wits end with loneliness. Losing my wife in 2014 has taken away a certain confidence, and this happens to those left behind. Being married is much more than a ring, it is a friend, and companion, someone who knows you better…"
"John
So sorry about your Sister. I myself spent the 4th with my sweet dog Babie J. I prefer her company to humans. She does not judge me she just loves me for what I am.
I too believe that death does not do us part. We we love each other until…"
