About my Loss:
I just lost my mom Aug. 1st from cancer. My mom was my best friend and right now Im feeling so many things. My mom had breast cancer a few years back did all her treatments and then became cancer free for a couple of years. We then found out that the breast cancer had come back but this time in her bones she once again started her treatments and seemed to be doing good. Her last scan resuts which she got on July 28th showed the cancer has spread into her liver and the doctor only gave her weeks to live. On Wend she was admitted into Hospice and I was there. Her eyes looked yellow and her stomach was bloated. I could see so many changes...it was so hard. Thurs morning when I entered her room she was having issues talking due to stuff in her throat I looked my mom in her eyes and said "I love you Mom" and she looked me right back and said "I love you to". Those were the last words I heard from her. She layed in her bed in a sleep state until Sat afternoon I held my moms hand as she took her last breath. I had just taken my mom on a trip to New Orleans in June she hadnt been on a vacation since i was a kid and Im 33 yrs old. I drove us the entire way there. We had a wonderful time and I knew in my heart this would be the last trip my mom would make with me but pushed it to the back of my mind. I wish I could go back to that trip and freeze time...she felt so good while we were there and she was so happy. Im glad I could give her this gift. I just miss my mom and I don't feel like I will ever be the same person again. I feel alone even though Im not. I just hope that one day I will see her again.

Hi Monica,

I'm so sorry about your mom. I'm still having difficulties accepting that my dad is gone. We were best friends and spent all our time together. It just doesn't seem possible that such a huge part of my life could be gone.

If you ever need to talk about anything, please don't hesitate to post or email. I've found that it really helps me. I'll also pray for you and your mom.

My heartfelt sympathies on the loss of your mom...my 33 year old daughter was killed in an accident on Memorial Day of this year and like you and your mom we were so close. Again, like you, we spent 4 days in Las Vegas in April...little did I know this would be the last time I would see her alive. She lived in Alaska, I live in Texas. So many times, in my head and heart, I go back to those days. Going back to Vegas and freezing time would be ideal...but instead, I live with the sweet memories. I'll say a special prayer for you and your mom today.
Sincerely,
Laura

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
